Attitudes and behavior are the biggest barriers to making changes within organizations. IT process implementation is no different. How do you do it? What is the key? What are the pitfalls? It is one thing to be told how to do these things, but wouldn’t it be better to hear how someone else has handled similar problems?
Meet the book’s hero, Chris. Chris is assigned a seemingly impossible task—a problem that many previous project managers couldn't fix. Will Chris go the way of previous project managers and be "given the opportunity to be more successful elsewhere," or will he deliver the objectives and impress company leadership?
For this project to be successful, Chris needs to change the way colleagues and superiors approach the problem. Learn from the successes—and mistakes—as you join in the search for workable solutions and attempts to bring colleagues and superiors on board.
