are to do with people. Sharon De Mascia’s book is a
highly accomplished and relevant guide to getting the
best out of people in projects. It deserves a place on the
desk of anyone involved in a project – be they a sponsor,
stakeholder, customer or project manager.’
Eric Woodcock, CEng FRSA

project or working to develop the competence and
maturity of your organization’s project management
capability, Sharon De Mascia’s book will provide you

Value Management
Translating Aspirations into Performance
Roger H. Davies and Adam J. Davies
‘The book is a great read but, more importantly,
conducting Value Management in practise within
Logica has been a good business decision and
certainly has improved our ability to justify

investments and manage the returns.’
Roel Wolfert, Global Head of Strategy & Marketing
Financial Services, Logica
‘The authors have managed to bring logic, insight
and practical application together; it’s very compelling
and an asset for modern leaders of complex change,
regardless of industry.’
Diahann Williams, Head of Human Resources,
Global Supply Chain Service Centre, BAT
Failing to understand the causal links between
the intended stakeholder outcomes and the actual
programme outputs can be fatal to any project. Value
Management explains how direction and delivery can
be clarified and improved by examining the baseline
business case and benefits realisation.

Leading Successful PMOs
How to Build the Best Project Management
Office for Your Business
Peter Taylor
‘For years there has been an inaccurate view that PMOs
define and maintain project management standards.
This view has led to untold PMO difficulties. The PMO
in whatever shape or form is entirely about leadership
and achievement. Kudos to Peter Taylor for spotlighting
this and bringing us this practical reference.’
Mark Price Perry, Founder, BOT International

Leading Successful PMOs, is a guide to maximising
project success through a Project Management Office
(PMO). Building and leading an effective PMO is a
complex process. Peter Taylor outlines the basics of
setting up a PMO and clearly explains how to ensure it
will do exactly what you need it to do – the right things,
in the right way, in the right order, with the right team!

On Advising Upwards
Advising Upwards
A Framework for Understanding and Engaging
Senior Management Stakeholders
Edited by Lynda Bourne
‘This book offers a wide range of thoughtful insights
into the much under-rated skill of managing up. All
too often, supply side problems are caused on the
stakeholders’ side and not necessarily by the suppliers.
Understanding true stakeholder needs is the key to
unlocking real business value.’
Jonathan Dutton, FCIPS, Managing Director,
The Chartered Institute of Purchasing &
Supply Australasia (CIPSA)

Building, and managing, relationships with senior
(upwards) stakeholders is essential for success.
Advising Upwards makes a detailed examination of
stakeholder relationship management, starting with
a discussion of the personal changes that senior
managers must make as they move into executive
roles in the organisation, and recognising that through
targeted and purposeful communication the team
must ensure that their senior stakeholders understand
how best to support their work. Case studies and
stories from experts illustrate practical, structured
approaches that enable the teams to develop robust
relationships with senior stakeholders that will result
in their ‘being heard’ and ‘being extraordinary’.

Integrated Cost-Schedule
Risk Analysis
David Hulett
‘Hulett’s latest book…describes how one can (and
really should) develop risk models that consider
both cost and schedule and, more importantly, the
interaction between the two. It is to be hoped that
Hulett’s approach will be adopted, no doubt adapted
to suit each individual practitioner, to produce more
realistic (let us not say ‘accurate’) projections of project
outcomes – to set more achievable targets and to point
towards more effective risk mitigation actions.’

Philip Rawlings, Director, Euro Log Ltd
This companion volume to Practical Schedule Risk
Analysis (see page 5 of this catalogue) explores the
second area where projects so often go horribly wrong
– project cost. Many cost estimates are fundamentally
flawed in their conception, become written in stone
when the project is approved and consequently fall
apart during the project implementation and delivery.
David Hulett explains the true value of project cost
estimating and how to manage the risks associated
with project costs and project schedules.
Given the scale of the investment in many modern
projects, this is surely a book that is worth its weight
in gold.

Bid Writing for Project Managers
David Cleden
‘Bid Writing for Project Managers is an excellent
introduction to the process of writing a competitive
bid or proposal for new business full of good sense
delivered in an easy, persuasive and authoritative style.
You feel that the author (David Cleden) is a master
of the craft about which he writes, rather than a self-
professed business guru writing in his ivory tower about
how he thinks things ought to be. I would recommend
Bid Writing for Project Managers to anyone who has
the unenviable responsibility of managing preparation

of a bid, and to all project managers who are required to
contribute to a proposal, especially if they’re likely to be
tasked with delivering the project when the bid is won!’
Mark Pillatt, Senior Project Manager,
WTG Technologies Limited
Involving the designated project manager at the
bidding stage is becoming the norm in many
commercial organizations. Getting the bid right is
the essence of planning for project success. However,
many project managers are unfamiliar with the pitfalls
of competitive bidding and don’t know how to balance
a compelling sales message against a realistic delivery
plan.
Bid Writing for Project Managers will guide prospective
project managers through the bid-writing lifecycle,
providing comprehensive guidelines and numerous
tips on how to craft a winning bid and how to set the
project up with the best possible chance of success.

Project Success
Critical Factors and Behaviours
Emanuel Camilleri
‘What makes a project successful? Emanuel Camilleri
in the book Project Success: Critical Factors and

Behaviours has tried to answer that question. This book
from Gower is the bible on getting it right, covering
everything from the history of project management
to managing information flow and organisational
diagnostics If you are studying project management,
or working as a consultant for failing projects, then
this is a must-have read. If you are setting up a project
management function from scratch in your company,
then you’ll find Project Success very useful for starting
off on the right foot.’
Elizabeth Harrin, heads The Otobos Group, which
publishes her award-winning blog, A Girl’s Guide to
Project Management
In chapters dedicated to factors such as leadership,
teams, communication, information management and
risk management, the author shines a light on the
key behaviours in which project managers and others
engage and how those behaviours predict success
or failure. Practising project managers, project
board members and sponsors, struggling to manage
conflicting stakeholder expectations, complexity
and ambiguity, will learn which factors are vital to
determining successful outcomes.

The Project Risk Maturity Model
Measuring and Improving Risk
Management Capability

Martin Hopkinson
‘The Project Risk Maturity Model provides an answer
for those who know that they haven’t yet peaked in
project risk management capability, or who want to
maintain or improve their ability to manage project
risk. Martin Hopkinson has done a great job over the
past ten years in developing The Project Risk Maturity

others to access and apply his insights and experience.
I’m pleased to recommend it.’

the capability of your organisation’s risk management
process on four distinct levels. This enables you to
assess whether your current level of risk management
is appropriate for the nature and scale of the projects
you are undertaking. Using an objective measure of
risk management capability is extremely valuable for
organisations, both the private and public sector need
to demonstrate good project governance. The Project
Risk Maturity Model provides a measure for progress
in the ongoing development of project managers
and teams.

Systems Cost Engineering
Program Affordability Management
and Cost Control
Edited by Dale Shermon
Parametric cost estimating models are flexible tools
which bring engineering, scientific and mathematical
rigour to cost and schedule estimating, but great tools
alone will not keep programs affordable. Tools must be
applied as part of a credible process if estimates and
analyses are to be accepted.
Complex major projects involving engineering,
hardware, software, service and IT, all suffer from two
basic problems: the project sponsors often struggle to
specify the project effectively, and project managers
find themselves wrestling with unpredicted cost or
schedule overruns. Everyone wants to be successful
with the tools and solutions they use, so this book is
a comprehensive collection of methods with proven
success. The applications described by Dale Shermon

and his co-authors have evolved over 30 years of cost
engineering experience during which time they have
been matured by the parametric community. Each
chapter explores a different application of parametrics,
based on real-life case examples, providing you with
a detailed guide to the rationale and value of cost
engineering in a different industry or program context.

The Project Manager’s Guide
to Handling Risk
Alan Webb
Risk is a key issue for every project manager. How the
various risks are handled can often define the final
outcome of a project; it can determine its overall worth
to both sponsors and contractors and its ultimate
success or failure.
Alan Webb’s The Project Manager’s Guide to Handling
Risk is a concise, practical guide to the process for
every project manager. Starting from an explanation of
how our current ideas of risk have evolved, the author:
•introducesthenatureofriskandthebasisofrisk

analysis;
•exploreshowandwheredifferentpatternsofrisk

•explainsthevarietyoftoolsandtechniquesforrisk
analysis and management and shows how to use
them.
The book also provides a comprehensive assessment
of the current range of software tools that deals with
the various aspects of risk management. Included

Contracting for
Project Management
Edited by J. Rodney Turner
In all but the smallest of projects the project sponsor
inevitably has to buy-in the services of other suppliers.
Goods and services must be bought, and this requires
people to make contracts so that they know the basis
on which they are working with each other and to deal
with any disagreements that subsequently arise. This
means that a knowledge of contracting specifically
for project management is essential if a project is to
avoid difficulties and reach a successful conclusion.
This book concentrates specifically on the contracting
issues that surround projects of any size.

Managing Sustainable
Development Programmes
A Learning Approach to Change
Göran Brulin and Lennart Svensson
The book is about understanding the difficulties and
complexities of large change programmes and projects
in both the private and public sectors. The authors’
research reveals an extraordinary level of failure in
these projects, the analysis of which overturns much
of our traditional thinking about project delivery and

governance.They turn existing theories on project
management on their head, focusing instead on
sustainable change and development. The message
at its heart is ‘don’t blame the project leader but rather
look for active ownership of projects; joint knowledge
management and sharing with external stakeholders
that secure long-term effects.

Winning Your Rebid
How to Retain Contracts through
Successful Competitive Rebids
Nigel Thacker
‘A lot of business and business developers miss a trick
by not putting the right level of focus and attention
on rebids. Winning Your Rebid provides an effective
roadmap to rebid success which is both timely, practical
and embodies best practice in this area.’
Robin Davies, Major Bids Director, Rentokil Initial
This book is dedicated specifically to helping
incumbent contractors to increase their chances of
retaining an existing contract which, whilst it includes
the skills of bidding for new contracts, requires a
significantly different set of actions and processes in
order to be consistently successful. The book takes
the reader through all the preparations throughout the
whole period of a contract from its very start that will
put them in the best position to win their rebid, then

gives advice, techniques and ideas for how to run
and deliver a successful rebid process and document.

The Focused Organization
How Concentrating on a Few Key Initiatives
Can Dramatically Improve Strategy Execution
Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez
‘The world is awash with business ideas and tools.
But what really matters to business leaders is
making things happen: execution. That is what
they are measured on and what really turns them
on. Based on research and extensive experience, The
Focused Organization provides new, compelling and
highly practical insights into the reality of business
execution.’
Stuart Crainer, editor, Business Strategy Review
One of the weaknesses in both project and portfolio
management has been the limited extent to which
organizations have connected these activities to their
key strategic needs. Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez shows
you how to address this shortcoming and how, as
a consequence, fewer, more effectively elected and
managed projects are the key to strategic and long-
term success.

Project Stakeholder Management
Pernille Eskerod and Anna Lund Jepsen
Stakeholders often assess the benefit the project
delivers here and now and in a much broader sense
than ‘just’ deliverables. This is an enormous challenge
the project owner, project manager and project team
are facing when covering this point in the stakeholder
analysis. This book looks at how the project manager
can gather the information that is needed for a
stakeholder analysis.

Program Management
Michel Thiry
Based on practical applications of program
management in different countries, as well as the
leading standards, this book reflects the most recent
developments in the area. It offers an understanding
of program management’s connection to business
strategy and value realisation, beyond multiple-project
management. Additionally it emphasizes the need for
program specific processes, based on an iterative life
cycle and the management of multiple stakeholders
and their expected benefits.
The book is grounded in a robust theoretical
framework, complemented by a number of
case studies.

Managing Risk in Projects
David Hillson
‘This short book packs a lot of punch Since getting
this book, the reviewer has frequently referred to two
of its concepts in his course on Risk Management
in a Masters Project Management degree. First is
the definition of risk that differentiates between Risk
and Uncertainty by defining “risk as uncertainty that

matters” and secondly the concept of risk management
being “Built in Vs Bolt On” The book makes a good
representation of project, program and portfolio
management and how risk management needs to be
undertaken at each level. This helps to remove a lot of
ambiguity when it comes to knowing how projects are
connected to programs and programs to portfolio and
how the risk should be managed at each level.’
Tayyab Maqsood, School of Property, Construction and
Project Management, RMIT University, Melbourne,
Australia in The International Journal of Managing
Projects in Business
‘’This is risk management that recognises and
works with the complexity of business strategy
and decision making…This is a practical book
and a serious introduction to the area of risk
management in projects.’
Carol Long, MCQI CQP, Quality World
A concise description of current best practice
in project risk management introduces the latest
relevant developments enabling project managers,
project sponsors and others responsible for managing
risk in projects to do just that – effectively.

Managing Project Supply Chains
Ron Basu
A major project has many suppliers, contractors and
customers; it has procurement and supply, demand
planning and scheduling; it often lasts over several
years and has longer lead times. Therefore it can be
argued that the management of major projects will

benefit from adopting some customised supply chain
management principles all of which are discussed in
this book.

Spirituality and
Project Management
Judi Neal and Alan Harpham
Effective teams have a great ‘espirit de corps’
which can enable them to reach a higher level of
performance. They are ‘spirited teams.’ This book
examines the role that spirituality plays in project
management. It is an extremely important factor
that is almost lways overlooked, but when tapped
into, it can make the difference between effectiveness
and ineffectiveness.

With a greater understanding of the role of spirituality
in project management, project leaders will be able
to engage their team members’ passion and purpose,
unleash their creativity, and help them solve difficult
problems.

Advances in Project Management Series
Tame, Messy and Wicked
Risk Leadership
David Hancock
‘This book takes project risk management firmly onto
a higher and wider plane. We thought we knew what
project risk management was and what it could do.
David Hancock shows us a great deal more of both.The
author has probably read more about risk management
than almost anybody else, he has almost certainly
thought about it as much as anybody else and he has

quite certainly learnt from doing it on very difficult
projects as much as anybody else. His book draws
fully on all three components. For a book which tackles
a complex subject with breadth, insight and novelty –
it’s remarkable that it is also a really good read. I could
go on!’
Dr Martin Barnes, President, The Association for
Project Management
David Hancock’s book explores alternative approaches
to the linear solutions to project risk; one that uses
the perspective of ‘tame, messy and wicked’ problems
to categorise risks. Wicked problems (such as those
having a community or societal benefit) are those
involving a high number of stakeholders and have no
optimum solution. Messy problems (e.g. transport
networks) are those involving a high number of
interconnected systems. Wicked Messes involve both!
The solutions require risk managers to identify project
stakeholders and seek resolutions between their
different perspectives, as much as deliver singular
‘best’ solutions.

Project-Oriented Leadership
Ralf Müller and J Rodney Turner
‘Müller and Turner have compiled a terrific “ready-

from reading and reflecting upon to challenge their

performance. The authors have condensed considerable
experience and research from a wide variety of
professional disciplines, to provide a robust digest that
highlights the significance of leadership capabilities for
effective delivery of project outcomes. One of the big
advantages of this book is the richness of the content
and the natural flow of their argument throughout such
a short book Good advice, well explained and backed
up with a body of evidence I will be recommending
the book to colleagues who are in project leader and
manager roles and to students who are considering
these as part of their development or career path.’
Arthur Shelley, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia,
International Journal of Managing Projects in

Projects need leaders who can give them vision,
identity, keep the stakeholders and the project team
on board and make the difficult decisions. This book
explains the key leadership models and shows how
they can be applied within projects to lead processes,
functions and people and ensure an ethical and
inclusive approach within projects and programs.

is there uncertainty in projects? How do you spot
the symptoms of uncertainty, preferably at an early
stage? What can be done to avoid uncertainty?
What strategies can be used to deal with project
uncertainty? How can both the individual and
the organisation learn to cope more effectively
in the future?

Short Guides to Business Risk Series
SHORT GUIDES TO BUSINESS RISK SERIES
Risk is a far more complex and demanding issue than it was ten years ago. Risk managers may have expertise
in the general aspects of risk management and in the specifics that relate directly to their business, but they
are much less likely to understand other more specialist risks. Equally, Company Directors may find themselves
falling down in their duty to manage risk because they don’t have enough knowledge to be able to talk to their risk
team, in a sensible way.
The short guides to risk are not going to make either of these groups experts in the subject but will give them
plenty to get started and in a format and an extent (circa 100 pages) that is readily digested.

A Short Guide to
Procurement Risk
Richard Russill
‘This book calls itself “a short guide”. It is not. It may
be small on the outside but it is big on the inside. It is
packed with useful information, for the procurement
professional, for the supply chain manager, for the CEO,
for any business owner. Even for the supply chain risk
researcher, who is likely to find the exhaustive list of
risks particularly useful. Truly, this book is about so
much more than procurement, it is about so much
more than the supply-side risks in the supply chain,
it is about any kind of business and how to do your
business well.’ Jan Husdal, husdal.com

Typically, much less regard is paid to external
suppliers and the risk present when dealing with
them. As a minimum, suppliers are the sources of
materials, services and expert attention which enables
the company to feed its business model. When done
well, a high-performance risk-aware procurement
process provides the bonus of competitive advantage,
with ability to capitalise, rather than suffer, from the
occurrence of unexpected events. This short guide
explains how to do it.

A Short Guide to Fraud Risk
Fraud Resistance and Detection

Martin Samociuk, Nigel Iyer
Edited by Helenne Doody
‘ It is a fascinating book, showing how easy it may be
for employees, customers, clients and consultants to
commit fraud, and how easy it may be to prevent this. It
is a book that anyone working in procurement or supply
chain management should read and ponder It’s a well-
written book, clear, concise and well-structured and it
should be on every manager’s shelf (and for that matter,
every employee’s shelf, too).’ Supply Chain Risk
A Short Guide to Fraud Risk gives a concise but
thorough introduction to the risk of fraud based on
a six-element strategy. It includes practical steps to

assess and treat fraud risks company-wide, including
those relating to executive directors. It also shows how
to develop fraud awareness across an organisation
and how to implement an effective fraud detection
and incident management program.

Commercial Aircraft Projects
Managing the Development of Highly
Complex Products
Hans-Henrich Altfeld
‘ A useful book for students of aerospace engineering
management and practitioners in the field who wish
to improve their understanding of the main activities
of, and challenges for, prime contractors…Each part
is an easy-to read comprehensive explanation of
what currently happens in aircraft development, with
figures and footnotes to c1arify. Examples are used
with good effect to illustrate points. There is good use
of referencing to support statements made…Reading
the book, it is easy to understand the complexity of
managing aircraft projects and why there are so many
opportunities for the failure that has been the project
track record for most modern aircraft programmes.’
Aerospace Professional
The theme of this book is that any management
approach for the development of commercial aircraft
should seek to integrate the strengths of state-of-
the-art management disciplines while limiting their
application to some basic essentials. It explores the
interconnectedness between individual management
disciplines by explicitly considering the matter of
integrative management.

Managing Aviation Projects
from Concept to Completion
Triant G. Flouris and Dennis Lock
Triant Flouris is a prominent academic and
administrator in aviation management education;
Dennis Lock has more than forty years experience
in practising, lecturing and writing about project
management. When these two experts combined
their considerable talents to write their earlier book
Aviation Project Management, it was little wonder
that distinguished reviewers gave generous praise
and acclaimed it as a welcome addition to what,
until then, had been a neglected field.
Aviation project management is described in
considerable detail throughout all stages of a
lifecycle that begins when the project is only a vague

concept and does not end until the project has been
successfully completed, fully documented, and put
into operational service.
Aviation projects have commonly failed to deliver
their expected outcomes on time and have greatly
exceeded their intended budgets. Many of those
failures would have been prevented if the project
managers had adhered to the sound principles of
project management, as described and demonstrated
throughout this book.
