Abstract: Using the concept of 'time' as a lens, this paper explores an organisational change project in order to compare different world views that might affect project delivery. Observations which have time as a central element in their construction are reported from a case study involving action research. The paper explores some apparent dissonances observed around the social experience of time: future and past orientation; organisational and professional and personal constructs; 'clock time' or chronos, in comparison with the qualitative time concept, kairos. Recommendations are made with respect to time for management of change as a project.
