On one side, specialized knowledge, vertical expertise, and highly technical career paths; on the other, growing uncertainty and increasing complexity of the context. These are the two poles within which Project Managers navigate, seeking an overall vision from which to distill concreteness and effectiveness. Yet, within these rapid transformations lie the traces of a long and multifaceted evolution of thought. Understanding its main stages—even only in broad strokes—offers creative insights, revealing that the choice of a standard, a methodology, or a technology is never just the result of technical evaluations.
 

Presentation

Epistemology, in its contemporary sense, is the philosophy of science: a critical inquiry into the structure and methods of the sciences or of individual scientific disciplines.
Digital technology brings together a wide range of scientific knowledge that evolves over time, shaping new and unexpected syntheses.

Reflecting on ideas—tracing the roots of the key concepts of the Digital, starting with the very notion of “Digital” itself—fosters awareness, strengthens vision, and supports decision-making. Whether the focus is on Quality, Sustainability, Innovation, or Safety and Security, understanding the complexity in which projects develop, and embracing uncertainty as an inherent dimension, helps guide thoughtful choices and resilient solutions.

Working in uncertain and complex environments means developing probabilistic—not deterministic—scenarios. It requires embracing a performance-based logic, accepting uncertainty in order to fully understand and manage risks.
