best out of people in projects. It deserves a place on the

Value Management
Translating Aspirations into Performance
Roger H. Davies and Adam J. Davies
‘The book is a great read but, more importantly,
conducting Value Management in practise within
Logica has been a good business decision and
certainly has improved our ability to justify
investments and manage the returns.’
Roel Wolfert, Global Head of Strategy & Marketing
Financial Services, Logica
‘The authors have managed to bring logic, insight
and practical application together; it’s very compelling
and an asset for modern leaders of complex change,
regardless of industry.’
Diahann Williams, Head of Human Resources,
Global Supply Chain Service Centre, BAT
Failing to understand the causal links between
the intended stakeholder outcomes and the actual
programme outputs can be fatal to any project. Value
Management explains how direction and delivery can
be clarified and improved by examining the baseline
business case and benefits realisation.

Leading Successful PMOs
How to Build the Best Project Management
Office for Your Business
Peter Taylor
‘For years there has been an inaccurate view that PMOs
define and maintain project management standards.
This view has led to untold PMO difficulties. The PMO
in whatever shape or form is entirely about leadership
and achievement. Kudos to Peter Taylor for spotlighting
this and bringing us this practical reference.’
Mark Price Perry, Founder, BOT International
Leading Successful PMOs, is a guide to maximising
project success through a Project Management Office
(PMO). Building and leading an effective PMO is a
complex process. Peter Taylor outlines the basics of
setting up a PMO and clearly explains how to ensure it
will do exactly what you need it to do – the right things,
in the right way, in the right order, with the right team!

On Advising Upwards
Advising Upwards
A Framework for Understanding and Engaging
Senior Management Stakeholders
Edited by Lynda Bourne
‘This book offers a wide range of thoughtful insights
into the much under-rated skill of managing up. All
too often, supply side problems are caused on the
stakeholders’ side and not necessarily by the suppliers.
Understanding true stakeholder needs is the key to
unlocking real business value.’
Jonathan Dutton, FCIPS, Managing Director,
The Chartered Institute of Purchasing &
Supply Australasia (CIPSA)
Building, and managing, relationships with senior
(upwards) stakeholders is essential for success.
Advising Upwards makes a detailed examination of
stakeholder relationship management, starting with
a discussion of the personal changes that senior
managers must make as they move into executive
roles in the organisation, and recognising that through
targeted and purposeful communication the team
must ensure that their senior stakeholders understand
how best to support their work. Case studies and
stories from experts illustrate practical, structured
approaches that enable the teams to develop robust
relationships with senior stakeholders that will result
in their ‘being heard’ and ‘being extraordinary’.

Integrated Cost-Schedule
Risk Analysis
David Hulett
‘Hulett’s latest book…describes how one can (and
really should) develop risk models that consider
both cost and schedule and, more importantly, the
interaction between the two. It is to be hoped that
Hulett’s approach will be adopted, no doubt adapted
to suit each individual practitioner, to produce more
realistic (let us not say ‘accurate’) projections of project
outcomes – to set more achievable targets and to point
towards more effective risk mitigation actions.’
Philip Rawlings, Director, Euro Log Ltd
This companion volume to Practical Schedule Risk
Analysis (see page 5 of this catalogue) explores the
second area where projects so often go horribly wrong
– project cost. Many cost estimates are fundamentally
flawed in their conception, become written in stone
when the project is approved and consequently fall
apart during the project implementation and delivery.
David Hulett explains the true value of project cost
estimating and how to manage the risks associated
with project costs and project schedules.
Given the scale of the investment in many modern
projects, this is surely a book that is worth its weight
in gold.

Bid Writing for Project Managers
David Cleden
‘Bid Writing for Project Managers is an excellent
introduction to the process of writing a competitive
bid or proposal for new business full of good sense
delivered in an easy, persuasive and authoritative style.
You feel that the author (David Cleden) is a master
of the craft about which he writes, rather than a self-
professed business guru writing in his ivory tower about
how he thinks things ought to be. I would recommend
Bid Writing for Project Managers to anyone who has
the unenviable responsibility of managing preparation
of a bid, and to all project managers who are required to
contribute to a proposal, especially if they’re likely to be
tasked with delivering the project when the bid is won!’
Mark Pillatt, Senior Project Manager,
WTG Technologies Limited
Involving the designated project manager at the
bidding stage is becoming the norm in many
commercial organizations. Getting the bid right is
the essence of planning for project success. However,
many project managers are unfamiliar with the pitfalls
of competitive bidding and don’t know how to balance
a compelling sales message against a realistic delivery
plan.
Bid Writing for Project Managers will guide prospective
project managers through the bid-writing lifecycle,
providing comprehensive guidelines and numerous
tips on how to craft a winning bid and how to set the
project up with the best possible chance of success.

Project Success
Critical Factors and Behaviours
Emanuel Camilleri
‘What makes a project successful? Emanuel Camilleri
in the book Project Success: Critical Factors and
Behaviours has tried to answer that question. This book
from Gower is the bible on getting it right, covering
everything from the history of project management
to managing information flow and organisational
diagnostics If you are studying project management,
or working as a consultant for failing projects, then
this is a must-have read. If you are setting up a project
management function from scratch in your company,
then you’ll find Project Success very useful for starting
off on the right foot.’
Elizabeth Harrin, heads The Otobos Group, which
publishes her award-winning blog, A Girl’s Guide to
Project Management
In chapters dedicated to factors such as leadership,
teams, communication, information management and
risk management, the author shines a light on the
key behaviours in which project managers and others
engage and how those behaviours predict success
or failure. Practising project managers, project
board members and sponsors, struggling to manage
conflicting stakeholder expectations, complexity
and ambiguity, will learn which factors are vital to
determining successful outcomes.

Measuring and Improving Risk
Management Capability
Martin Hopkinson
‘The Project Risk Maturity Model provides an answer
for those who know that they haven’t yet peaked in
project risk management capability, or who want to
maintain or improve their ability to manage project
risk. Martin Hopkinson has done a great job over the

the capability of your organisation’s risk management
process on four distinct levels. This enables you to

Systems Cost Engineering
Program Affordability Management
and Cost Control
Edited by Dale Shermon
Parametric cost estimating models are flexible tools
which bring engineering, scientific and mathematical
rigour to cost and schedule estimating, but great tools
alone will not keep programs affordable. Tools must be
applied as part of a credible process if estimates and
analyses are to be accepted.
Complex major projects involving engineering,
hardware, software, service and IT, all suffer from two
basic problems: the project sponsors often struggle to
specify the project effectively, and project managers
find themselves wrestling with unpredicted cost or
schedule overruns. Everyone wants to be successful
with the tools and solutions they use, so this book is
a comprehensive collection of methods with proven
success. The applications described by Dale Shermon
and his co-authors have evolved over 30 years of cost
engineering experience during which time they have
been matured by the parametric community. Each
chapter explores a different application of parametrics,
based on real-life case examples, providing you with
a detailed guide to the rationale and value of cost
engineering in a different industry or program context.

Understanding and
Managing Risk Attitude
Second Edition
David Hillson and Ruth Murray-Webster
David Hillson’s and Ruth Murray-Webster’s
Understanding and Managing Risk Attitude will
help you understand the human aspects of risk
management and to manage proactively the influence
of human behaviour on the risk process. The authors
introduce a range of models, perspectives and
examples to define and detail the range of possible
risk attitudes; looking both at individuals and groups.
Using leading-edge thinking on self-awareness and
emotional literacy they develop a powerful approach
to address the most common shortfall in current
risk management: the failure to manage the human
aspects of the process.

Contracting for
Project Management
Edited by J. Rodney Turner
In all but the smallest of projects the project sponsor
inevitably has to buy-in the services of other suppliers.
Goods and services must be bought, and this requires
people to make contracts so that they know the basis
on which they are working with each other and to deal
with any disagreements that subsequently arise. This
means that a knowledge of contracting specifically
for project management is essential if a project is to
avoid difficulties and reach a successful conclusion.
This book concentrates specifically on the contracting
issues that surround projects of any size.
