Sinopsis

The majority of construction and capex projects are late and over budget, and the most common approaches to project management only make things worse. This book introduces senior decision makers to proven ideas that offer a robust and sustainable way for capex projects to reduce risk, reduce cost and reduce the duration of projects. In The Executive Guide to Breakthrough Project Management, Ian Heptinstall & Robert Bolton show you how, by combining proven innovations in project management and procurement, you can break the so-called ‘Iron Triangle’ of project management. It is no longer a case of “Time, Cost Quality, choose any two”. Each of the two main elements of Breakthrough Project Management has been shown to bring step-change improvements in project duration, predictability, cost and quality. Discover how Critical Chain Project Management reduces project duration by at least 25%, whilst at the same time increasing reliability and reducing cost. Learn how Project Alliancing removes the commercial and contractual obstacles to establishing a truly collaborative project team across the range of suppliers and contractors involved in the project. This is key not only to exploiting Critical Chain, but to many other project improvement techniques, and to further increasing quality whilst reducing risk, cost and duration. Do you want to be left behind as your competitors breakthrough the constraints imposed by today’s “best practice” in project management?

Acerca del autor

In his early career, Ian managed projects in the process industries in the UK, France and Belgium, followed by time as a project management coach and advisor. In the late 1990’s he held a lead role in an award-winning project that was one of the first to apply the Project Alliance principles developed in the Oil and Gas industry’s CRINE initiative to smaller projects outside of the Oil and Gas sector. Around 2000, he moved into a global procurement role in the pharmaceutical industry, and later that decade was Chief Procurement Officer for a UK construction company before moving into full-time consultancy in 2011. As a consultant Ian travels frequently to work with clients across the globe, from Japan to the US, and extensively in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Ian is a qualified mechanical engineer, and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply. He lives in the UK and Switzerland. After graduating in civil engineering, Robert commenced his career in the construction industry. He has managed large capex projects in the civil, building and mining sectors in Australia. His consultancy endeavours continued his work in the complex projects field, with extensive experience in the mining and capital markets sectors, in addition to more general business and manufacturing improvement. He is a pioneer in Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), having been involved in its conception and early development in the 1990’s. More recently he was involved in a major Oil & Gas project rescue, working at client locations in Singapore, Malaysia and China. Like Ian, as a consultant he works with clients across the globe to help speed up their projects and business processes. Robert has an MBA from Ashridge, and lives in Australia.
