Settlements grafted project management onto existing governance rather than forming new systems
Evidence
The repurposing of settlement institutions for project management occurred through three primary mechanisms. First, settlements adapted their established governance structures, particularly the general assembly and leadership positions, to oversee project decisionmaking and implementation. Second, they integrated project financial management into existing systems by having settlement treasurers assume responsibility for project accounting and fund management. Third, they incorporated project labor requirements into their preexisting collective work practices rather than creating separate labor organization systems. — Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, Institutional Bricolage and Commoning…, 115
