Project Reset - A Fresh Path for...

Andreas Trautner, Lasse Hasselstrøm

It began with the authors, Andreas Trautner and Lasse Hasselstrøm from DIS/CREADIS Project Excellence Consulting, failing with their respective projects. Now, after a decade and a half of study and research, they reveal several shared truths about projects:Projects often fail for the same well-known reasons.Projects that fail, fail from the start.Organizations that attempt to address these issues are likely to fail.These challenges have persisted for decades.
These recurring issues stem from a deeper, systemic problem: the lack of consensus on fundamental definitions within project management. Instead, each framework, methodology, method and ideology offers its own interpretation of what constitutes a project, project success, project management and what a project manager is — with different academic schools contributing their own perspectives as well.
As a result, projects often become "Towers of Confusion" — modern-day equivalents of the Tower of Babel — where differing cultures and languages hinder effective communication and success.
Project Reset addresses these challenges by offering clear and logical definitions, and a unified language for project management. The authors boldly challenge outdated concepts like the "Project Triangle" and the "Project Life Cycle," replacing them with an innovative, people-centered, and investment-driven approach: The Project Investment Chain®. This transformative framework provides readers with an actionable approach to achieve meaningful and sustainable results.
The future of project management starts here.
Reset your mindset. Redefine success.

Dogfight - How Apple and Google...

Fred Vogelstein

Behind the bitter rivalry between Apple and Google—and how it's reshaping the way we think about technologyThe rise of smartphones and tablets has altered the industry of making computers. At the center of this change are Apple and Google, two companies whose philosophies, leaders, and commercial acumen have steamrolled the competition. In the age of Android and the iPad, these corporations are locked in a feud that will play out not just in the mobile marketplace but in the courts and on screens around the world. Fred Vogelstein has reported on this rivalry for more than a decade and has rare access to its major players. In Dogfight, he takes us into the offices and board rooms where company dogma translates into ruthless business; behind outsize personalities like Steve Jobs, Apple's now-lionized CEO, and Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman; and inside the deals, lawsuits, and allegations that mold the way we communicate. Apple and Google are poaching each other's employees. They bid up the price of each other's acquisitions for spite, and they forge alliances with major players like Facebook and Microsoft in pursuit of market dominance.Dogfight reads like a novel: vivid nonfiction with never-before-heard details. This is more than a story about what devices will replace our cell phones and laptops. It's about who will control the content on those devices and where that content will come from—about the future of media and the Internet in Silicon Valley, New York, and Hollywood.
