This article emphasizes the role of projects and project
management in mastering global strategic crises to create a new
multi-project environment, comprised of projects, programs, and
project portfolios. Multi-projectivity has come to characterize

changes in understanding the effects of a project. The current

systemic and global solutions involving the implementation of
projects with the awareness that the necessary and project-
-influenced resources are limited. The article examines the
knowledge society in the context of global strategic crises and
expands previous interpretations of project-oriented society,
stressing its role in overcoming global strategic crises. By
expanding and integrating the knowledge society and the
project-oriented society, the a uthors propose the establishment of
a holistic project-knowledge society that sets the framework for
overcoming global strategic crises, thereby ensuring the long-
-term survival of humankind. The article concludes with a
diagram of the process of overcoming global strategic crises
through a holistic project-knowledge society.
