You'll get practical, no-holds-barred guidance on the type of effective strategic thinking that must take place as early as the conception and approval stages.With "Project Management: Achieving Project Bottom-Line Succe$$", you'll learn how to focus on bottom-line results, keep impulse thinking out of the decision-making process, and use projects as building blocks in the management of strategic change - and as tools to achieve specific, measurable goals.
