Synopsis

Make Your Strategic Projects Shine
go beyond what you have learned and achieved so far and become a high-impact Portfolio Management Officer

PMOs and SMOs (Project, Program, Portfolio and Strategy Management Officers) face a volatile, uncertain, and complex reality that prevents them from succeeding as they wish. Between theory and practice, the gaps are immense. In this book, Philippe Husser brings 40 years of real-life situations that had a significant impact as a PMO or as a SMO in successful companies.
Philippe draws upon the three domains of knowledge he and several top-notch leaders have studied and practiced most closely -- complexity sciences, indirect strategies, and human dynamics -- to show how they advance strategy and project management at a new level of performance.
For example, you will explore:

• The consequences of non-linearities, unpredictability, order and lack of order in management systems.
• The pros and cons of direct (Western-style), indirect (Eastern-style) or bimodal (Unpredictable) strategies.
• The role of human dynamics, communities of allies, and postures in the face of different situations and cultures.
