It is also a source for project managers and sponsoring executives seeking information to improve sponsor effectiveness. Improving Executive Sponsorship of Projects addresses gaps in current project management literature. From a senior management perspective, the gap is the lack of resources explaining why and how to establish a program to improve executive sponsorship strategically across an organization. From a tactical perspective, the gap is a scarcity of actionable materials to clarify roles, responsibilities, expected behaviors, and identify support necessary for improving sponsor effectiveness. The authors identify key factors to consider before creating an executive sponsorship improvement program or enhancing an existing one and explain why executive sponsorship is important to an organization, how an organization's culture influences the effectiveness of the sponsor role, and why project management standards are critical to success. They explore what roles, responsibilities, and behavior should be considered and how to determine whether the person in the sponsor role is the right person and prepared to do the job. Finally, the book provides a process, with tools, to assess an organization's readiness to implement an executive sponsorship program, develop a plan for improvement, and monitor the progress of a program once it has begun. 410 0$aPortfolio and project management collection.,$x2156-8200 606 $aProject management 606 $aExecutive ability 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aexecutive leadership 610 $aexecutive sponsorship 610 $aorganizational preparedness 610 $aportfolio management 610 $aprogram management 610 $aproject management 610 $aproject manager and sponsor relationship building 610 $aproject sponsor behaviors 610 $aproject sponsor training 610 $aproject sponsor roles and responsibilities 610 $aproject sponsorship 610 $aproject sponsorship effectiveness 610 $aproject sponsorship assessment 610 $aprojects and strategic alignment 610 $astrategy 610 $asustainability of project management 610 $avalue of project management 610 $avalue of project sponsorship 615 0$aProject management. 615 0$aExecutive ability. 676 $a658.404 700 $aChandler$b Dawne E.$0876933 702 $aHall$b Payson 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155089903321 996 $aImproving executive sponsorship of projects$91958235 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06756nam 22008055 450 001 9910483618003321 005 20251226203459.0 010 $a9783540322641 024 7 $a10.1007/b136920 035 $a(CKB)1000000000213018 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000318356 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11239140 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000318356 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10310206 035 $a(PQKB)11351325 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-540-32264-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3067510 035 $a(PPN)123095042 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000213018 100 $a20100715d2005 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIntegration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems $eSecond International Conference, CPAIOR 2005, Prague, Czech Republic, May 31 -- June 1, 2005 /$fedited by Roman Barták, Michela Milano 205 $a1st ed. 2005. 210 1$aBerlin, Heidelberg :$cSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :$cImprint: Springer,$d2005. 215 $a1 online resource (XII, 412 p.) 225 1 $aTheoretical Computer Science and General Issues,$x2512-2029 ;$v3524 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a3-540-32264-7 311 08$a3-540-26152-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aInvited Papers -- Integration of Rules and Optimization in Plant PowerOps -- Embedded Systems Design: Optimization Challenges -- Models for Solving the Travelling Salesman Problem -- Technical Papers -- Set Variables and Local Search -- The Temporal Knapsack Problem and Its Solution -- Simplifying Diagnosis Using LSAT: A Propositional Approach to Reasoning from First Principles -- The tree Constraint -- Filtering Algorithms for the NValue Constraint -- Identifying and Exploiting Problem Structures Using Explanation-Based Constraint Programming -- A Hybrid Algorithm for a Class of Resource Constrained Scheduling Problems -- On the Minimal Steiner Tree Subproblem and Its Application in Branch-and-Price -- Constraint Programming Based Column Generation for Employee Timetabling -- Scheduling Social Golfers Locally -- Multiconsistency and Robustness with Global Constraints -- Mixed Discrete and Continuous Algorithms for Scheduling Airborne Astronomy Observations -- Shorter Path Constraints for the Resource Constrained Shortest Path Problem -- Improving the Cooperation Between the Master Problem and the Subproblem in Constraint Programming Based Column Generation -- Group Construction for Airline Cabin Crew: Comparing Constraint Programming with Branch and Price -- A Search-Infer-and-Relax Framework for Integrating Solution Methods -- Combining Arc-Consistency and Dual Lagrangean Relaxation for Filtering CSPs -- Symmetry Breaking and Local Search Spaces -- Combination of Among and Cardinality Constraints -- On the Tractability of Smooth Constraint Satisfaction Problems -- A SAT-Based Decision Procedure for Mixed Logical/Integer Linear Problems -- Symmetry and Search in a Network Design Problem -- Integrating CSP Decomposition Techniques and BDDs for Compiling Configuration Problems -- Formulations and Reformulations in Integer Programming -- Nondeterministic Control for Hybrid Search -- Computing Explanations for the Unary Resource Constraint. 330 $aThe 2nd International Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (CPAIOR2005)washeldinPrague,CzechRepublic,duringMay31?June1,2005. The conference is intended primarily as a forum to focus on the integration and hybridization of the approaches of constraint programming (CP), arti?cial intelligence (AI), and operations research (OR) technologies for solving large-scale and complex real-life optimization problems. Therefore, CPAIOR is never far from industrial applications. The high number of submissions received this year, almost 100 papers, in witness to the interest of the research community in this conference. From these submissions, we chose 26 to be published in full in the proceedings. This volume includes summaries of the invited talks of CPAIOR: one from industry, one from the embedded system research community, and one from the operations research community. The invited speakers were: Filippo Focacci from ILOGS.A.,France,oneoftheleadingcompaniesinthe?eld;PaulPop,professor in the Embedded Systems Lab in the Computer and Information Science - partment, Link¨ oping University; and Paul Williams, full professor of Operations Research at the London School of Economics. The day before CPAIOR, a Master Class was organized by Gilles Pesant, where leading researchers gave introductory and overview talks in the area of metaheuristics and constraint programming. The Master Class was intended for PhD students, researchers, and practitioners. We are very grateful to Gilles who brought this excellent program together. For conference publicity we warmly thank Willem Jan van Hoeve and Petr Vil´ ?m who did a great job with the high number of submissions received. 410 0$aTheoretical Computer Science and General Issues,$x2512-2029 ;$v3524 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aComputer science$xMathematics 606 $aDiscrete mathematics 606 $aComputer networks 606 $aInformation technology$xManagement 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aNumerical Analysis 606 $aDiscrete Mathematics in Computer Science 606 $aComputer Communication Networks 606 $aComputer Application in Administrative Data Processing 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 0$aComputer science$xMathematics. 615 0$aDiscrete mathematics. 615 0$aComputer networks. 615 0$aInformation technology$xManagement. 615 14$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aNumerical Analysis. 615 24$aDiscrete Mathematics in Computer Science. 615 24$aComputer Communication Networks. 615 24$aComputer Application in Administrative Data Processing. 676 $a005.1/16 701 $aBartak$b Roman$01757016 701 $aMilano$b Michela$065829 712 12$aInternational Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimisation Problems 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483618003321 996 $aIntegration of AI and OR techniques in constraint programming for combinatorial optimization problems$94194652 997 $aUNINA
