Project-Centered Systems
The design organization of Lewis-works is as a project-based system that serves as the foundation for functional integration and development of various working models and systems organized around the successful achievement of clearly defined project goals. Planning, organization and mobilization of resources is therefore project-based and goal directed, the goals being defined in terms of clearcut outcomes of specific projects.
We may speak of a typical project cycle from original conception and planning, the aggregation of resources (tools, knowledge, information, people and material) through various steps of implementation and troubleshooting application, to completion and extension of the results of the project to other project frameworks.
From the standpoint of human and all kinds of systems, a project oriented and centered systems framework is considered the most naturalistic and adaptive model that can be utilized, and it provides for contextualization of projects in a decentered metasystems framework. Projects may be reiterative and developmental in serious, or lead into process production or other forms of continuous production systems, but even such on-going production systems are set to meeting basic project goals of deadlines, quotas, quality control, etc.
