Discover how functional managers can apply the Kerzner
Approach to project management
As a functional manager today, you need to become more involved in

manager, but rather you need to know how to perform specific
project-related tasks, work with project team members, understand each
other's priorities and problems, and resolve issues jointly. Now
here's the book that gives you everything you need to know about your
role in project management clearly and succinctly.
Based on principles set forth in the bestselling Project
Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and
Controlling, Tenth Edition, this easy-to-follow guide focuses on
the pivotal role you play as an executive in project management. It
introduces the acclaimed Kerzner Approach, demonstrating how it
empowers functional managers with the skills needed to ensure that
projects are completed successfully, on time, and on budget.
