The book addresses a wide range of project management topics associated with transformation. These include value management, sponsorship, governance, partnerships, opportunity management, project culture and morale, project complexity, uncertainty, prototyping and piloting, agility, innovation, risk and knowledge management.Project managementManagementIndustrial managementEconomic historyProject Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515020Innovation/Technology Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000Economic Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000Project management.Management.Industrial management.Economic history.Project Management.Innovation/Technology Management.Economic History.658.406658.514Kozak-Holland Markauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut977164Procter Chrisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910367249803321Managing Transformation Projects2226089UNINA
