Strategic objectives often fail because of the incorrect application of the portfolio, programme, and project management frameworks. For this reason, the author has created (specifically for this guide) health checks for all the common frameworks that fall under the umbrella of the Axelos ProPath core guidance. It includes why strategic objectives have not been met, why projects miss deadlines and become more costly or lack benefits, how to communicate and collaborate within teams and looks at risk management and inclusion of stakeholders.

Every programme, project and team manager must interact with people as individuals or as part of a team. These interactions require skills to deliver the required products and services for the business and, ultimately, the way in which you manage people will determine the success of your project. Many publications focus on the technical side of programme and project management; however, less is written on the people skills required to manage

projects, teams and people. These are the transferable skills that are essential to being a great project or programme manager. These skills are often the most difficult to master, yet they are crucial for engaging, communicating, persuading,motivating and gaining insights throughout a project. This publication is structured to help you with the skills required from the start to finish of a project or programme, taking you through the different phases and

focusing on Agile environments. These phases are getting started, making progress and delivering results.

It aims to help business leaders continually evaluate challenges and provides solutions to improve efficiencies across the service streams

If human error only starts to explain how accidents happen in complex, adaptive systems, what does the rest of the explanation look like? And what can be done as a result? If complex systems are fundamentally different from merely complicated ones, what does this mean for us – the people who have to live and work in them?

Through a re-analysis of real events, this book integrates recent thinking from psychology, resilience engineering, complexity theory and cybernetics.

Intimidated? Don’t be.

The result is a clear story of why people do what they do, how they mostly get it right, why they sometimes get it wrong, where safety really comes from, and why and how organisations need to fundamentally change their assumptions about people if they want to become safer.

The book is aimed at all safety-critical sectors, including aviation, chemical, defence, healthcare, highways, maritime, nuclear, rail and space. Throughout, the authors – both of whom are organisational psychologists – provide insight and clear practical guidance on how individuals and organisations can achieve greater resilience by acknowledging the true nature of human beings operating in a world of complexity.

This book is aimed at all those in managerial and organisational roles in the maritime industry who have a duty of care for seafarers. Ensuring that seafarers are safe and in good health results in a workforce enabled to perform its duties in an optimal way. Seafarers play a key role in the success of the maritime industry, yet their welfare can be neglected. This can be costly, not only to the seafarers, but for businesses too. In recent years, the importance of employee wellbeing has become evident; employees who are physically and mentally fit are usually more productive and less prone to accidents. For those at sea, wellbeing comes with its own challenges, with seafarers undergoing prolonged periods of isolation and having limited access to services. As well as physical and mental wellbeing, topical areas include how to: ·         improve organisational culture and wellbeing ·         deal with conflicts, bullying, discrimination and harassment ·         defuse crisis situations ·         overcome fatigue and manage seafarers’ workloads. Written by experts in the industry, this title offers practical advice on improving individual and corporate wellbeing. With useful appendices that include templates and checklists for quick reference, Wellbeing at Sea will help employers to fulfil their responsibilities to their employees, and ensure excellence in the physical and mental wellbeing of all those at sea.
