If there's any way to produce the worse type of project phantasmagoria, it's by remaining disconnected from any part of the team or workforce. Granted, you can't be connected to every person in the workforce, but everybody can be connected to the network of the workforce. Let me explain what I mean by this.
CEO John Doe, for example, does not need to be connected directly to every person under him, especially if the company has thousands of employees. He need not be best friends with the Human Resource intern. However, though the companies information system, the CEO ought to be able to see what the HR intern is doing, most likely in an indirect form such as aggregate data. In other words, the CEO doesn't see what the intern does, but he should be able to see what the intern's directors and managers are doing. That way, the CEO can direct the future course of the business without knowing the detail of every little project.
Lately, I have been thinking of the connection offered through modern Smartphone Apps. Many companies, for example, have implemented Android project management / iPhone project management tools that connect teams across the world. Project management software alone is able to connect teams remarkably, but I can think of no better way to connect the workforce than through a Smartphone. Getting work done with these devices is literally a matter of pulling the phone out of your pocket. Android Project Management
