Synopsis
Business challenges are forcing organisations to change at an ever increasing rate. These pressures mean that it is no longer enough to design and implement change; real progress in the short term has to be clear and demonstrable. However, more than 50% of change initiatives do not have the intended organisational impact; complex interdependencies and 'knock-on' effects mean even simple proposals can lead to an unexpected outcome. Many organisations now achieve organisational progress through a programme approach that firstly identifies the different tasks required to achieve progress and then manages their delivery.
The advantages of using the programme management method described in this book include:
- It provides a framework for clear decision-making and executing mandates when making choices and setting priorities;
- It encourages a clear definition of tasks, responsibilities and competencies;
- It offers a basis to manage complex, strategic changes;
- It encourages a focus on managing and realising benefits;
- It allows for the real-life scenario of dealing with ongoing changes.
MSP, the method used in this book, is Best Practice based on the experiences of industry experts. Its relevance means that interest in MSP is evolving fast with increasing numbers of specialists gaining certification in this area.
This book offers a good overview of the MSP method. It emphasises the real-life approach of change implementation within the scope of a programme. In addition, this book is a study guide for all those preparing for the MSP Foundation exam and includes a special Exam chapter.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
