Though project managers serve as leaders of change, the fact is that we are not changing ourselves. Over the last twenty years, the total percentage of failed business projects has not decreased. It is time for a fresh perspective on the profession of project management-a perspective that questions everything-so that we can continue turning fledgling projects into full-blown successes. This new angle focuses on the art rather than the science of project management, presenting instructive stories and critiques rather than dry theory and process. With his characteristic humor, author and longtime project manager Nicholas James Errico defines the task of project management as predicting the future and increasing the likelihood of project success. He explains that a good project manager will turn projects into graceful swans-on the outside, the project should glide along smoothly even while under the water, feet are paddling like crazy. Errico's keen observations and advice cover both broad topics (such as comprehending the contract) and fine details (such as the importance of the team buying into the plan). As project managers, it's crucial that we widen our perspectives and challenge our preconceived notions in order to achieve flawless project success.

Organisation Development, as a field, is messy, imperfect and hard to get hold of - it is like nailing jelly to the wall. A Field Guide for Organisation Development offers a variety of perspectives and unparalleled experiences from practitioners and researchers who all share an interest and involvement in Organisation Development (OD). In it are multiple voices, mindsets and practices - not all of which necessarily agree with each other. Leading OD practitioners present a contemporary, practical guide that tackles the dilemmas and polarities that face anyone studying or practising within the OD arena, and encourages them to develop their own particular practice of OD in a way that is appropriate for their context, skills and preferences, while challenging them to look beyond what comes naturally. Here are new ways to support the growth and development of an organisation from modest endeavours that are small in scale to organisation-wide change programmes. A Field Guide for Organisation Development is as comprehensive a resource to support the practice of OD as can be found anywhere. It covers issues of organisational health as well as offering tools aimed at supporting practitioners to survive in the harsh realities of organisational life. It contains chapters on the OD practitioner, on groups, on culture, on data and evaluation. It offers perspectives on change, on the relationship between OD and HR, and on the use of external consultants.

Illuminating a clear path to lean IT, the authors integrate more than two decades of combined experience to provide you with a proven method for creating and sustaining a true lean IT workplace.
