Creating the Project Office is written for managers who are searching for ways to transform their organizations into more effective and efficient project-based workplaces. As this important book reveals, there is no more effective way to make that change than to create a project office tailored to the needs of the organization. While a project office model leads to better products from projects, it is also a vehicle for generating overall organizational change-- by transforming the organization from function-based to project-based. This model incorporates projects into the very fabric of the organizational strategy and revitalizes organizations, creates competitive advantage, and increases shareholder value.
Three of the most important names in project management-- Randall Englund, Robert Graham, and Paul Dinsmore-- show how to create an organizational environment that will produce successful projects time after time. Creating the Project Office offers a wealth of illustrative examples from organizations that have put in place successful 'project office' models and offers the step-by-step guidance managers need in order to revitalize their companies by creating project-based organizations that get results!
