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 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 April 2011 270 pages

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
