Dr Peter Parkes has held programme director roles in the private and public sectors, public private partnerships (PPPs) and 'Big 4' consultancy practices. He is a Fellow of the Association for Project Management (APM), BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT and the Chartered Management Institute. With the APM he is a Trustee and Board Champion for best practice groups and a regular speaker on aspects of project management. He is a professional member of the Association for NLP and an NLP Master Practitioner.
To be effective, project managers must learn the language of the
boardroom. Peter and this book will help you to do that.
*Institute of Directors*
If all books placed as much importance on soft skills as this one
then perhaps we might start to see a sea change in the way projects
are managed.
*Chris Field PMP MBCS CITP*
I recommend every project manager reads this book (in addition to
PRINCE2!).
*Andy Murray CDir*
This is one of the first books to apply soft skills to the normally
precise and potentially stressful world of project management. As
such it meets a great challenge because project managers more than
most workers relate to a large number of different people for a
pre-determined duration; these relationships then end, and a fresh
set of relationships then needs to be built at the start of the
next project.
*Chartered Management Institute*
Mission accomplished.
*Project Magazine January 2012*
If like me you're one of those project managers that likes to keep
abreast of new techniques but perhaps are slightly sceptical of the
less than 'hard' skills that seem to come and go as fads, then
Peter Parkes' latest book is for you.
