Creating the Project Office
by Randall L. Englund, Robert Graham and Paul C. Dinsmore


Projects are all about change: whether it’s developing a new product or improving an existing process, projects are about doing things differently. Establishing a project office often involves change for the entire organization. The project office can serve as a key driver of innovation, but only if implemented in the right way.
Englund, Graham and Dinsmore show how to establish a project office in the thorniest of organizations, avoiding traps and pitfalls along the way. They offer methods for mapping stakeholder needs, building a supporting coalition and communicating the strategy and vision for the project office. This book is a valuable resource for those charged with effecting organizational change through projects.
