Explicating the dynamics of project capabilities
Open accessAbstract
This article provides a foundation to guide future research on project capabilities based on three main contributions. First, drawing upon research on dynamic capabilities and organisational ambidexterity, we suggest that innovative and routine dimensions of project capabilities are developed and mobilised to deal with the variety of exploratory and exploitative conditions facing an organisation. Second, we distinguish between project capabilities at the operational and dynamic capabilities at the strategic levels, arguing that firms depend on identifiable dynamic capabilities (e.g. portfolio management techniques) to know when and how to maintain current project capabilities and when to modify or replace them depending on the conditions encountered. Third, we suggest that the relationship between dynamic and project capabilities is reciprocal, recursive and mutually reinforcing. In this reciprocal relationship, the emergence of new or declining project capabilities provides indications for the strategic priorities, behaviours and future deployment of an organisation's dynamic capabilities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
