Recenzii
"A masterful project manager and one of the best educators in the project management discipline, Robin Hornby does an excellent job in A Concise Guide to Project Collaboration. The guide walks the reader through the business lifecycle, focusing clearly on the business interest and the client’s share of responsibilities. At each stage the guide defines the collaborative steps as part of a clear project plan, emphasizing critical communications, agreements, and accountabilities. The approach includes assessing and documenting project successes, and a final analysis ‘Did we Benefit?’. Hornby’s methods have saved significant dollars for companies I have worked for. This guide will further strengthen our ability to deliver professional projects to our customers."
James R. Wickson, Vice President, Esri Canada
"In A Concise Guide to Project Collaboration, Robin Hornby culminates decades of experience successfully delivering programs and projects. He takes a holistic project delivery perspective and goes beyond the core capabilities and practices of project management to provide frameworks and guidance for the ‘Delivery Organization’. Hornby describes this as a high performing collaborative, business-oriented environment, and a frequently overlooked component of success. This is a must-read for executives, sponsors, leaders, and business stakeholders who are accountable for project outcomes and business benefits, as well as their supporting consulting firms and service providers."
Jackie Poeckens, Partner, Sia Partners
