Reinventing Project Management: The Diamond Approach to Successful Growth and Innovation, by Aaron Shenhar and Dov Dvir

Aaron Shenhar is professor of management at Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, and Dov Dvir is head of the management department at Israel’s Ben Gurion University School of Management. The key question they address is: “what do organizations need to consider before they launch a new project, and how they should address the project in retrospect.” The book does not reinvent the techniques for keeping a project on time or on budget; the authors assume the readers already do these. Their contribution lies in providing a tool that crosses the boundary from strategic managers to project managers.
