Download or read book Sustainability in Project Management written by Mr Adri Köhler and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of sustainability has grown in recognition and importance. The pressure on companies to broaden their reporting and accountability from economic performance for shareholders, to sustainability performance for all stakeholders is leading to a change of mindset in consumer behaviour and corporate policies. How can we develop prosperity without compromising the life and needs of future generations? Sustainability in Project Management explores and identifies the questions surrounding the integration of the concepts of sustainability in projects and project management and provides valuable guidance and insights. Sustainability relates to multiple perspectives, economical, environmental and social, but also to responsibility and accountability and values in terms of ethics, fairness and equality. The authors will inspire project managers to be aware of these considerations, and to apply them to the role they play in projects, not just 'doing things right' but 'doing the right things right'.

Download or read book Human Resource Management in the Project Oriented Organization written by Martina Huemann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations regularly assume that the culture, values, dynamic and organization of their temporary project organizations are merely a smaller version of the original parent. Given that project organizations are made up of people and teams drawn, in most cases, from outside and inside the parent, these assumptions are nonsensical. But they do explain why the HR function finds it difficult to adapt to the project environment. Martina Huemann's research in Human Resource Management in the Project-Oriented Organization, offers insight into an approach that is designed to align HR to the needs of the project organization, in terms of management structure, reward, recruitment and performance systems. The text analyses how the modern HR organization stacks up alongside the temporary organization that is the project, to identify the HR constraints and needs of the project organisation and offer a model of project-oriented HRM. Professor Huemann had a deep interest in how and why change processes come into existence and how to design and enable them. In her book she endeavors to bridge theory and practice, strategy and operations.

Download or read book Humble Consulting written by Edgar H. Schein and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consulting in Complex and Changing Times Organizations face challenges today that are too messy and complicated for consultants to simply play doctor: run a few tests, offer a neat diagnosis of the “problem,” and recommend a solution. Edgar Schein argues that consultants have to jettison the old idea of professional distance and work with their clients in a more personal way, emphasizing authentic openness, curiosity, and humility. Schein draws deeply on his own decades of experience, offering over two dozen case studies that illuminate each stage of this humble consulting process. Just as he did with Process Consultation nearly fifty years ago, Schein has once again revolutionized the field, enabling consultants to be more genuinely helpful and vastly more effective.

Download or read book Competence profiles Certification levels and Functions in the Project Management and Project Support Environment Based on ICB version 3 2nd revised edition written by Bert Hedeman and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in the project management field are ongoing. This professional field continuously broadens and becomes profounder. Therefore, IPMA has extended its attention from project management to program management, portfolio management and project support (PMO). This has made manifest the need for a reference model in which the various functions and corresponding competences and the relations between them are presented. Not only for HR managers, but also for project and program managers and PMO heads. In the first edition of this book, attention was given to the regular functions in the project management field, as they are applied in the IPMA 4-level system. With the publication of this second edition, the wish has been realized to make a complete function building for the project management field available. The second edition of this book does justice to PMO professionals needs for recognition and appreciation of their added value for projects, programs and portfolios. This is a publication of IPMA-NL.
