    S1EP05 - Tools Don’t Create Order. People Do.

    In this episode of DeChaos, I reflect on why so many project tools fail, even when they’re technically good. I share a real story from a large telecom project in South Africa, where I saw first-hand what happens when tools and ways of working are enforced instead of co-created. The result was compliance without engagement, dashboards without trust, and systems that looked healthy while the project itself struggled underneath. This isn’t an episode about features or platforms. It’s about buy-in, ownership, and leadership. I talk about: the difference between project tools and corporate tools why the same tool can succeed in one project and fail completely in another how enforcement creates usage, but never commitment and why co-creation beats perfection every time Because in the end, tools don’t bring order to chaos. People do.

    S1EP04 - Yes Doesn’t Always Mean Yes.

    Managing a project outside your own country or cultural context changes everything. In this episode of DeChaos, we dive into multicultural project management, not from theory, but from real experience. This is not about stereotypes or country checklists. It’s about the invisible rules that shape how people communicate, decide, commit, and escalate. We talk about: why “yes” doesn’t always mean yes how silence can signal alignment… or discomfort why trust is always local, even when the project is not how cultural frameworks can help you prepare, without turning people into clichés and why instinct and human judgment still matter in a world increasingly supported by AI Inspired by a key idea from the PMBOK® Guide – 8th Edition, this episode explores something many project managers underestimate: cultural awareness is not a soft skill. It’s a delivery skill. If you’ve ever led a project abroad, or worked with teams from a different cultural background — this episode is for you. Welcome to DeChaos.Where order meets chaos, and leadership lives in between.
