Recenzii
Reviews of the previous volumes:
'This volume is a collection of concise and informative articles on topics highly relevant to both new and seasoned practitioners of modern project management. The book works well as both a weekend read, and as a reference compendium with 26 contributors including notable authors such as Harris, Hillson, Mueller & Turner, Remington, and Cavanagh. The range of subjects covered in this book is impressive. Above all, this book fills a current gap in the canon of PM literature by offering a practical a how-to bridge between the Books of Knowledge (e.g. PMI, APM certification) level, and the demands of more complex programmes and projects. I commend this book to any practitioner wanting to understand the added dimensions of the new and highly challenging world of advanced project management.' ICCPM – International Centre for Complex Project Management
'What sets this book far apart from others is the breadth and open-mindedness of the reflections. Dalcher is not afraid of including nontraditional project management topics such as the psychology of project management and spirituality in project management. Each one of the 20-plus topics is introduced by Dalcher with his point of view and followed by a paper by the primary author. For example, the topic of ethics is introduced with cogitation on project ethics and professionalism, followed up by the paper Project Ethics: The Critical Path to Development. The book is a delight to read and can serve as an easy reference for project managers willing to look beyond the standards and guidelines of traditional project management.' Project Management Journal, vol. 45, no. 6
'The book begins with an overview from Dalcher and some context-setting. It then offers a diversity of astute opinion from a range of experienced individuals, all with their own specific focus within project management. I was delighted that there were a number of chapters addressing what I would refer to as tough skills (more commonly, erroneously labelled soft skills) including stakeholder management, the psychology of project management, decision making, communication and benefits realisation.' Project magazine, December 2014
'This book has something to offer the novice as well as the experienced professional, and gives insights to how and why project management is evolving as the global environment changes and challenges organizations and project success.' Anne Manning, PMI Portland Chapter
