Chaos Attractors as an Alignment Mechanism between Projects and Organizational Strategy

Chaos attractors have been studied in detail in the biological and environmental sciences and used to explain phenomena such as the Butterfly effect. Limited research has been done to identify and understand the use of chaos attractors in projects to help with alignment of project activities towards the project objective throughout the entire project duration. This paper will explore the literature on the use of chaos attractors as alignment mechanism between projects and organizational strategy. A conceptual model and propositions are proposed that could form the basis for further research.
