Project managers leading international projects must deliver value and align the project outcomes to the wider strategic goals of the organization. However, they are faced with the challenges of cross cultural communication and behavioural differences, large-scale and technically complex projects involving multiple stakeholders, and slow decision making when speed is of the essence. Leading International Projects helps overcome these challenges by taking a holistic approach, drawing on systemic, behavioural and psychological perspectives to build team trust, communicate to avoid misunderstanding and conflict, and identify and minimize risk of derailment. It provides a practical toolbox for successfully managing international projects.Leading International Projects provides case studies from experienced project professionals working internationally, each offering deep insights into the challenges of cross-border projects and practical ideas on how to lead successfully. It presents the experiences of consultants and senior project management professionals and their reflections on projects that they ran. Practical guidance on managing the complex dynamics of international projects is provided through individual, team and organizational diagnostic and development tools. Online supporting resources include lecture slides, a further reading list and research papers on culture and international projects and on hard or soft skills.

This book, written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, explores the transformation of organizations in today’s volatile, uncertain, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. It demonstrates the need to manage organizations in a dynamic way, and to revisit and in some cases reinvent working and leadership styles that seemed appropriate during past decades and centuries. In turn, the book puts forward a model based on three distinct pillars of organization and leadership to suit disruptive times: the concepts of 'Sustainable Purpose', 'Travelling Organization', and 'Connecting Resources'. These pillars challenge many of our traditional organizational patterns and meet the need for effective transformative approaches.

The book addresses an explicit demand expressed in a large number of C-Suite interviews: managing significant transformations in the private and public sector.

The book addresses an explicit demand expressed in a large number of C-Suite interviews: managing significant transformations in the private and public sector. The book describes what types of transformation have to be reflected, why transformations are crucial in our days, the triggers they have, and how they might be best managed from a theoretical and practical point of view – technically and with all people-connected soft facts. The book, which contains numerous use cases, is written by an international community of practitioners, experts, and academics from different geographies, countries, public and private organizations, industries, and cultures, which guarantees the comprehensiveness and richness of the developed insights and the value of the presented use cases.

Dieses Buch, das von einem interdisziplinären Autorenteam verfasst wurde, befasst sich mit dem Wandel von Organisationen in der heutigen unbeständigen, unsicheren und mehrdeutigen Welt (VUCA). Es zeigt die Notwendigkeit auf, Organisationen dynamisch zu führen und Arbeits- und Führungsstile, die in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten und Jahrhunderten angemessen schienen, zu überdenken und in einigen Fällen neu zu erfinden. Im Gegenzug stellt das Buch ein Modell vor, das auf drei verschiedenen Säulen der Organisation und Führung basiert, die für disruptive Zeiten geeignet sind: die Konzepte "Sustainable Purpose", "Travelling Organization" und "Connecting Resources". Diese Säulen stellen viele unserer traditionellen Organisationsmuster in Frage und erfüllen den Bedarf an effektiven transformativen Ansätzen.

Das Buch befasst sich mit einem expliziten Bedarf, der in einer großen Anzahl von Interviews mit Führungskräften auf Vorstandsebene geäußert wurde: der Bewältigung bedeutender Transformationen im privaten und öffentlichen Sektor. Das Buch beschreibt, welche Arten von Transformationen berücksichtigt werden müssen, warum Transformationen in unserer Zeit entscheidend sind, welche Auslöser sie haben und wie sie am besten aus theoretischer und praktischer Sicht - technisch und mit allen mit Menschen verbundenen Soft Facts - gemanagt werden können. Das Buch, das zahlreiche Anwendungsfälle enthält, wurde von einer internationalen Gemeinschaft von Praktikern, Experten und Akademikern aus verschiedenen geografischen Regionen, Ländern, öffentlichen und privaten Organisationen, Branchen und Kulturen verfasst. Dies garantiert die Breite und Vielfalt der entwickelten Erkenntnisse und den Wert der präsentierten Anwendungsfälle.

Dieses Buch knüpft an die erfolgreiche Entwicklung des Drei-Säulen-Modells (3-P-Modell) der Autoren für die Organisation und Führung in disruptiven Zeiten an.

This book focuses on "Organizational Intelligence" and its connection to the Three-Pillar Model, a framework developed by a global community of over 60 professionals from various sectors and published by Springer Nature.
