The Smart Mission by Edward J. Hoffman,Matthew Kohut,Laurence Prusak Pdf

Why human skills and expertise, not technical tools, are what make projects succeed. The project is the basic unit of work in many industries. Software applications, antiviral vaccines, launch-ready spacecraft: all were produced by a team and managed as a project. Project management emphasizes control, processes, and tools—but, according to The Smart Mission, that is not the right way to run a project. Human skills and expertise, not technical tools, are what make projects successful. Projects run on knowledge. This paradigm-shifting book—by three project management experts, all of whom have decades of experience at NASA and elsewhere—challenges the conventional wisdom on project management, focusing on the human dimension: learning, collaboration, teaming, communication, and culture. The authors emphasize three themes: projects are fundamentally about how teams work and learn together to get things done; the local level—not an organization’s upper levels—is where the action happens; and projects don’t operate in a vacuum but exist within organizations that are responsible to stakeholders. Drawing on examples and case studies from NASA and other organizations, the authors identify three project models—micro, macro, and global—and their different knowledge needs. Successful organizations have a knowledge-based culture. Successful project management guides the interplay of knowledge, projects, and people.

Mission 2030 Smart India – Khushhaal Bharat by Dr K P Agrawal Pdf

Hundreds of social and developmental schemes supported by Central and State Governments including external agencies are in place in the country for more than a decade. There are other flagship programmes of the government such as AMRUT, HRIDAY, NULM, DAY-NRLM, PMAY-G, PMSSY, SAGY, JNNURM, GRKY, SPMRM, PURA including Smart Cities Mission with their main aim to make India Smart. Most of the schemes have no clear aims and objectives, no time-bound work plan and no monitoring and evaluation framework. Expected output, outcome and impact are also missing. Accountability, responsibility, transparency and synergy with other programmes are absolutely ‘No’. After the scheme is closed, no body bothers about the results, their socio-economic impact and long-term sustainability of the gains achieved. Piece meal approach is not going to make any difference in living standard of the countrymen. Need is for smart and holistic approach covering the whole country-both rural and urban India. The Book packed in 5 chapters provides in depth and detailed information on smart and holistic development of urban and rural India. The important areas covered in the book are: 1) Smart Cities Mission and Other Programmes, 2) Developing Delhi, A Role Model of Smart India, 3) Developing Dwarka, A Role Model of Sub-Cities, 4) Developing Rural Delhi, A Role Model of Khushhaal Bharat and 5) Action Plan in Project Mode.

Mission Smart by David L. Frazier Pdf

It costs a lot to train, send out, support and care for people in cross-cultural ministry; however, the costs are immeasurable when these workers don't learn the language and culture well, fail to be effective and return home in trouble spiritually and emotionally. Mission Smart addresses serious gaps in the mission mobilization process and offers fresh solutions for seeing less missionary attrition. Mission Smart is for overseas ministry candidates, church leaders, and mission agency staff. The goal is to send the right people who know their callings, can thrive overseas and be effective in cross-cultural ministry.

Fly Me to the Moon by Edward Belbruno Pdf

When a leaf falls on a windy day, it drifts and tumbles, tossed every which way on the breeze. This is chaos in action. In Fly Me to the Moon, Edward Belbruno shows how to harness the same principle for low-fuel space travel--or, as he puts it, "surfing the gravitational field." Belbruno devised one of the most exciting concepts now being used in space flight, that of swinging through the cosmos on the subtle fluctuations of the planets' gravitational pulls. His idea was met with skepticism until 1991, when he used it to get a stray Japanese satellite back on course to the Moon. The successful rescue represented the first application of chaos to space travel and ushered in an emerging new field. Part memoir, part scientific adventure story, Fly Me to the Moon gives a gripping insider's account of that mission and of Belbruno's personal struggles with the science establishment. Along the way, Belbruno introduces readers to recent breathtaking advances in American space exploration. He discusses ways to capture and redirect asteroids; presents new research on the origin of the Moon; weighs in on discoveries like 2003 UB313 (now named Eris), a dwarf planet detected in the far outer reaches of our solar system--and much more. Grounded in Belbruno's own rigorous theoretical research but written for a general audience, Fly Me to the Moon is for anybody who has ever felt moved by the spirit of discovery.
