Summary

Learn from Other Projects to Avoid Pitfalls on Your Projects!Projects fail at an alarming rate, whether they are information technology, training, construction, or policy development projects. No matter the focus, each year we experience an abundance of challenged projects that either require super-human effort to resuscitate or die an untimely death.Great Lessons in Project Management is a treasure trove of lessons learned from troubled projects—and from projects that went well. This collection of stories describes the events surrounding a particular challenge a project manager faced or a tool that another used effectively. Project managers of all types of projects can draw on these stories to validate their own good practices and to avoid the pitfalls so many have encountered on their projects.

  • Last Resort - The Financial Crisis and the Future of Bailouts - cover

    Last Resort - The Financial...

    The bailouts during the recent financial crisis enraged the public. They felt unfair—and counterproductive: people who take risks must be allowed to fail. If we reward firms that make irresponsible investments, costing taxpayers billions of dollars, aren't we encouraging them to continue to act irresponsibly, setting the stage for future crises? And beyond the ethics of it was the question of whether the government even had the authority to bail out failing firms like Bear Stearns and AIG. 
    The answer, according to Eric A. Posner, is no. The federal government freely and frequently violated the law with the bailouts—but it did so in the public interest. An understandable lack of sympathy toward Wall Street has obscured the fact that bailouts have happened throughout economic history and are unavoidable in any modern, market-based economy. And they're actually good. Contrary to popular belief, the financial system cannot operate properly unless the government stands ready to bail out banks and other firms. 
    Taking up the common objections raised by both right and left, Posner argues that future bailouts will occur. Acknowledging that inevitability, we can and must look ahead and carefully assess our policy options before we need them.

    Social Business By Design -...

    Useful books already exist to provide tactical overviews for how to  apply social media to various areas of a business (marketing,  customer service, product development, etc.) There are also fairly  strong books that evangelize social media at a strategic level. But  there is no definitive management book with detailed, credibile  specifics on how to rethink the modern organization for the social  media era. Social Business is that book.       Social Business begins by exploring how the social,  cultural, and technological trends provoked by the social media  explosion are transforming the business environment. From this big  picture view, the book then steps down to closely analyze the  various tools of social media strategy: social media marketing,  social product development, crowdsourcing, social customer research  management, and more. The author then shows how to choose and  implement a social business strategy and reveals the exact playbook  to maximize its impact. These strategies are grounded in real-world  examples from high-profile organizations such as Accenture, Best  Buy, DIA, GEICO, ING, LG, Missile Defense Agency, Gucci, World  Bank, and IBM.  Social Business draws on the rich unique set of assets of  the Dachis Group. With a leading consulting business for numerous  senior executive clients in Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies,  Dachis uses its "front row" seat in the industry to complete  research work with large enterprises in their industry-leading  Social Business Council. The books combines compelling explanation,  hard-hitting research, and strategic recommendation, very much in  line with the way Dachis practices.

    You know those news reports that show how American students lag way behind kids from other far-off countries when it comes to scoring on standard math, science, and technology tests?Well, those kids from those far off lands have now grown up and are eager to claim the world as their turf. Globalization is about Americans outsourcing product development and services to other countries. Globality is the next step, where rapidly developing economies from around the world are now competing with us head to head. The authors present a strong case that the economic climate in which we have lived is going to change in unprecedented ways.Over the past five years, Hal Sirkin, Jim Hemerling and Arindam Bhattacharya of the prestigious Boston Consulting Group have completed an exhaustive study of more than 3,000 companies operating in the new emerging market economies of China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Eastern Europe. Sirkin, Hemerling and Bhattacharya believe that these companies that seem obscure today will be the GMs, Monsantos, Apples, Proctor and Gambles and Toyotas of the future. Sooner than we think, we will either end up working for these foreign-based companies or, even worse, have to compete with them. Globality will describe how these new companies have come to power, and how, in the West, we will have to step up our game if we are to compete with these new, lean, powerful businesses.
