Change is a powerful force but one that must be directed if it is to have a positive and
calculated outcome. It can be shaped according to the needs of an organisation to grow or
contract respond to competition or threat or simply to keep pace with the world around it.
It is widely understood by leaders and managers that only effective project management has the
potential to deliver the transformation they seek. However many projects have failed to
deliver the outcomes that their sponsors anticipated. Too many have produced apps buildings
processes products and services that remain on the shelf unadopted and a costly reminder
that projects are vehicles that can just as easily deliver failure as success. The revised and
expanded third edition of this much-admired guide explains the principles and techniques of
change and project management. With its clear structured approach it is an invaluable handbook
for helping leaders and managers to be sufficiently informed equipped and confident to use
projects to deliver change and to realise its benefits.
