Abstract
In this paper, we invite the reader to rethink project management from the perspective of phronesis, or practical wisdom, a central notion in Aristotle's philosophy. The turn to Aristotle has been in vogue ever since Martin Heidegger (2009) pointed out the importance of phronesis for the humanities and philosophy. Contemporary critical project management literature argues for a rich set of reflections, ones that phronesis could provide. This paper is one of the first to illustrate how a reflection based on phronesis could inform project management practices. The illustration comes from an inquiry into the practice of the first author in his role as a senior project manager for a large infrastructural project.
