| Abstract
|
:
|
This book provides you with the concepts, principles, and tools you need to implement and lead projects that will consistently provide shareholders with superior returns on investment. This step-by-step guidebook, filled with examples of project management success and failure, shows you how to become an accomplished project leader who can: identify the most essential initiatives that must be addressed in your firm, helping prevent the cost and waste of pursuing low-priority projects; propose, manage, and report on projects based on concerns that matter to your senior executives, from increasing cash flows to minimizing financial risk; structure and perform a convincing, project-specific financial analysis that details the amount of wealth generated, or net present value, of the project. - Back cover.
