Projects On Purpose

This book is a daring re-imagination of what project management should be. It takes proven organizational design principles from systems thinking and applies them in an innovative approach to project management that literally begins by redefining "project" itself as a social system. Social systems are all about purpose. To be successful, you need to design your project organization from the ground up to be "on purpose". This book will set you on the path to success.The book begins with the paradox that while project management techniques, certifications, organizations, and education are becoming increasingly ubiquitous - project success seems to be elusive. Systems thinking points to the reason why. And it is built into the traditional approach to project management. The author then provides insight into systems thinking and its implications for projects, design principles to enable project success, and a group of innovative tools to assist you in the process. Finally, the author challenges you to go out and make these principles and tools your own and achieve your own project success. Designed to provide profound insight in an easily readable format, the author effectively delivers his message from almost three decades of experience. And it is one that executives and managers responsible for projects should find valuable.
