The DNA of Strategy Execution: Next Generation Project Management and PMO

Learn to Decode the DNA of Management and Strategy-Execution in an Increasingly Turbulent World

Just as DNA contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms, what if we could decode containing the elements of management and strategy-execution?

This ground-breaking book offers new perspectives on age-old management challenges and illuminates better ways to organize and manage in an increasingly DANCE-world (Dynamic. Ambiguous. Non-Linear. Complex. Emergent). It puts the management DNA under the microscope, and shows how to develop the DNA elements to build and transform organizational project management and PMO capabilities essential for effective strategy-execution. It provides a framework to measure what matters with a step-by-step approach to define and measure success and business value.
