Warm and Cold Processes
Initiative-based Networks Differ From Projects
Projects have goals, plans and task divisions. In initiative-based networks, people are connected through shared ambitions. Project leaders assign tasks and targets to employees. People in networks drop out when they run out of energy. Warm processes release energy, while cold processes drain it. Project management is usually only focused on cold processes. Initiative networks always develop from a warm process. Both types are necessary. If the warm processes are overlooked, then the cold ones will not lead to anywhere new.
