In the competitive environment of the 1990s, organizations must now be flexible to respond quickly and efficiently to changing circumstances. This requires for the general manager to be able to manage change through projects in order to achieve their organization's corporate strategy. The management of projects has therefore become a skill which the general manager requires in his portfolio of skills. Managing Change Through Projects is an invaluable guide on project management for managers and to achieving defined business objectives which cannot be reached by routine or repetitive methods.

The "Project Management as Change Agent" examines the often overlooked role of the project manager. It is not enough to rely on the relationship between manager and project team. The authors' collective experience widens our view beyond this stage to that of relationships with indirect influences such as owners, sponsors, resource providers and consumers. In fact, anyone whose lives are affected by the project's work and outcome. This radical re-evaluation is a comprehensive preparation and guide for any project manager wanting to maximize strategic and successful change as an integral part of their project objective.

Project based management is still a hot topic with many organizations switching to this way of working. Most books on the subject concentrate on the tool and techniques of managing projects so that they reach their objectives. However, these objectives must include the financial viability and success of a project. This book covers how to deal with the commercial issues of making a project work - an area not covered by any other project management book.

The Commercial Project Manager: Key Commercial, Financial, and Legal Skills for Project Managers

The cost of unsuccessful web-projects has run into millions: intranets that don't deliver, websites that customers won't use. Sometimes the problem is technological, but at other times, the project team has failed to understand some of the basic human dynamics involved, or has used processes that are inappropriate. This book describes how to manage a successful web-delivery project. Running throughout is a case study (based on a real example) that is developed chapter by chapter to illustrate the concepts of that chapter in the context of a web delivery project. The book is illustrated throughout by other examples, also drawn from real-life cases of web-delivery projects. An appendix provides the essential planning forms described in the book, as well as the forms for the case-study project running throughout.

Goal Directed Project Management (GDPM) is a unique methodology that has been developed and refined by the authors over a period of more than 20 years.  In this time, organizations all over the world have adopted it as a standard approach.The central focus of GDPM is to develop understanding, commitment and involvement while managing successful and lasting change. The authors emphasize the need for a ‘PSO’ (People, System and Organization) perspective that goes beyond the technical aspects dealt with by most project management literature. Goal Directed Project Management gives detailed and practical guidance on how to plan, organize and control these PSO projects effectively, presenting methods and tools that will increase significantly the probability of project success.This fourth edition addresses the financial control of projects in a new chapter, presenting a pragmatic approach - based on GDPM methods - to this aspect of project management.
