The Rise of the Project Workforce: Managing People and Projects in a Flat World
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2007, Pages: 368
The Rise of the Project Workforce is the first book to explore the tools, technology and software required to operate a company in a flat world. ('The World Is Flat [Updated and Expanded]: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century' Thomas L. Friedman; Hardcover; $18.00) In The Rise of the Project Workforce, Rudolf Melik will show how the flattening of the world has transformed the structure of the organization and nature of work in the last several decades. Globalization, fragmentation of the enterprise (including outsourcing), and real-time collaboration across the planet have enabled companies to reduce costs, leverage a global talent pool and execute challenging deliverables with a dispersed yet incredibly connected workforce. In addition to labor dispersion, companies are challenged to achieve and maintain compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, which directly impact project management and execution. These shifts are changing the way we work, collaborate and make business decisions. This book will discuss the challenges companies face in today's business environment and will provide information on how to leverage these changes and new technology to actually beat the competition.
