The prime factor is to be social and communicate with the pool of audience. The entrepreneurs use social media to improve business but there is always a need of communicating with the whole lot of enthusiastic audience just to make them feel that everyone belong to the same social media community.

Organization must take on innovation and complexity or else

To cultivate innovation, it is important to think relationally in a collective manner across the business unit in a broad view. The prevalent characteristic for any project is mainly dependent on the type of project or specification of running project, said Fadi Samara, PMP, of C4 Advanced Solutions. Also the people factor is a matter of huge concern when working on a project with multicultural teams. Self-inflicted complexity should be avoided to do the thing in a simple manner. Micromanaging, focusing on narrow projects, unnecessary layers of management, confound accountability and lack of proper communication can make the project even more complex. Mr. Samara also said "People underestimate complex projects due to lack of experience". So, experience plays a vital role to make a project successful. Also to deal with project complexity, leadership is the most important skill for a project manager. More than 80 percent of respondents to the PMI Pulse of the Profession® survey ranked leadership as the most crucial one.
