商品描述

An insightful view on how to use the power of complexity theory to manage projects more successfully

 

Current management practices require adherence to rigid, global responses unsuitable for addressing the changing needs of most projects. Complexity Theory and Project Management shifts this paradigm to create opportunities for expanding the decision-making process in ways that promote flexibility—and increase effectiveness. It informs readers on the managerial challenges of juggling project requirements, and offers them a clear roadmap on how to revise perspectives and reassess priorities to excel despite having an unpredictable workflow.

 

Complexity Theory and Project Management provides remedies through the use of teaching notes, power point slides, a solutions manual, and a toolbox of answers to common project management problems to illustrate how the deployment of complexity theory can make a project more successful. One of the first books covering the subject of complexity theory for project management, this useful guide:

 

    Explains the relationship of complexity theory to virtual project management

    Supplies techniques, tips, and suggestions for building effective and successful teams in the virtual environment

    Presents current information about best practices and relevant proactive tools

    Makes a strong case for including complexity theory in PMI’s PMBOK® Guide

 

Complexity Theory and Project Management gives a firsthand view on the future of complexity theory as a driving force in the management field, and allows project managers to get a head start in applying its principles immediately to produce more favorable outcomes.

一本關於如何運用複雜性理論更成功地管理專案的深入觀點。

當前的管理實踐要求遵循僵化的全球性回應,無法滿足大多數專案不斷變化的需求。《複雜性理論與專案管理》改變了這種範式,創造了擴展決策過程的機會,以促進靈活性並提高效果。它向讀者介紹了在應對專案需求時的管理挑戰,並提供了一個清晰的路線圖,教導他們如何改變觀點並重新評估優先事項,以在工作流程不可預測的情況下取得卓越成果。

《複雜性理論與專案管理》通過教學筆記、PowerPoint幻燈片、解決方案手冊和常見專案管理問題的解決方案工具箱,提供了解決方案,以說明如何運用複雜性理論使專案更成功。作為首批涵蓋專案管理複雜性理論主題的書籍之一,這本實用指南具有以下特點:

• 解釋了複雜性理論與虛擬專案管理的關係
• 提供在虛擬環境中建立有效和成功團隊的技巧、建議和建議
• 提供有關最佳實踐和相關主動工具的最新信息
• 強烈主張將複雜性理論納入PMI的PMBOK®指南

《複雜性理論與專案管理》第一手地展示了複雜性理論作為管理領域的推動力的未來,並使專案經理能夠立即應用其原則以獲得更有利的結果。
