The Ultimate Guide to Successful Large Industrial Projects! In a light, witty and easily readable style, this amazing short book exposes the workings of project-management organizations for large projects with a clarity and a depth never achieved before. Short enough to be easily readable during a trip, it describes clearly what are the steps to follow in terms of organization, tender preparation, project execution and controls, and project close-out. Foreword by Tom Ehret: "It contains a large amount of the experience of someone who not only understands Large Industrial Projects and how they are evaluated, but has also run them, has sorted many out, and has made them into successes. Even more remarkable is the fact that those who have worked with him and learned from him, continue to perform remarkable things within ever more daring Large Industrial Projects. This is clearly the most valuable endorsement."

About the Author
Jean-Pierre Capron has acquired wide recognition as a seasoned leader of project-oriented organizations. He started his professional life in the mid-60's as an underground engineer in a colliery in eastern France, where he considers that he learnt his most important lessons about people behavior and management. After weathering the oil crisis of the 1970's as a senior civil servant in charge of the French oil & gas policy, for more than 25 years he has led deep organizational changes and difficult turn-arounds as COO, CEO or President of prominent organizations:
- Technip and the French Atomic Energy Commission in the 1980's,
- Renault Trucks (a leading international truck production company) and Fives Lille (a large French mechanical engineering group) in the 1990's,
- and the Africa office of Stolt Offshore / Acergy (a leading offshore construction contractor for the oil & gas) in the 2000's.
He is well known for his systematic, no-nonsense approach to management that he couples with a deeply rooted sense of humor and penetrating observation skills on human behavior.
Having retired in 2008, besides taking care of his grand-children and tending his garden in Brittany, Jean-Pierre Capron has found time to distil in a short volume what life has taught him about project management.
