Recensioner i media

"Alexia reveals the power of data and analytics for project reporting in her new book. Project Cost Recording and Reporting reveals the underpinnings of project reporting for stakeholders that project, program and portfolio managers can leverage – communication, transparency and decisions that form project outcomes. I highly recommend this as a guidebook for project leaders working in a matrix or projectized organization." - Naomi Caietti, Author, Founder and Director, Naomi Caietti Consulting, USA"The phrase 'the more things change, the more they remain the same' (plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose) – was coined by French critic, journalist and novelist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1808 –1890) rings more true today than ever before. Alexia provides a comprehensive and thorough view in emphasizing the importance of accurate, unbiased and honest project reporting in her new book, Project Cost Recording and Reporting. In our current age of disruption, and the necessity for almost instantaneous decision making, the need for robust project reporting is more important than ever before – as it always has been. For all practitioners of total cost management, this book is an essential guide and tool to getting project reporting right the first time." - Louise M Vlatko, Co-Founder and Director, Xmirus Pty Ltd, Australia
