Abstract
Projects are a part of everyday life in an organization. Tools and proce-
dures for project management are well understood and applied. However,
the management of projects by an organization for substantial transfor-
mation is less certain in both practice and study. An awareness of how
to manage increasingly complex projects, and collections of projects, to
achieve the benefits of organizational transformation becomes ever more
crucial in the implementation of new strategies.
This book goes beyond a simple review of tools and techniques com-
mon in most publications of project management. We illustrate how the
traditional practice of project management advances to handle the more
complex problems inherent to strategic organizational transformation.
The linkages among projects, operations, and the foundations of an orga-
nization provide a perspective of how an organization might pursue the
difficult changes required of comprehensive transformation. The fashion
in which the project world interacts with the executive world through
successive layers of project management principles is prelude to opera-
tional benefits realization.

nizational transformations in the foreseeable future.

successful, with diminished capacity or elimination as a result
of failure.
