The Rise of the Project Workforce - Managing People and Projects in a Flat World (Electronic book text)

This title provides insight on how projectization has changed modern business. "The Rise of the Project Workforce" is the first book to explore the disciplines, technology, and tools required to operate a company in a flat world. Rudolf Melik shows how the flattening of the world has fundamentally transformed the structure of the organization and nature of work. Globalization, projectization, 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 project workforce. These shifts are changing the way we work, collaborate, and make business decisions.; Melik explains the challenges that companies face in today's business environment and shows how to leverage these changes and new technologies to beat the competition. Rudolf Melik (La Crescenta, CA) is CEO of Tenrox. He has more than 15 years of experience in software engineering and the project and workforce management industry.
