This is the long-awaited new book from Geoff Reiss. With Geof Leigh he has created an 'educational novel'. The story of a new CEO and his 'project challenge' to the organisation takes the reader through all the by-ways of modern project and programme management with a cast of characters who display many of the frailities of those of us who work in projects. In addition to the story, the book contains all the information created and used by the team as they struggle to get the 'e-trolley' project off the ground and introduce the bones of programme management in the organisation. Anna's filing cabinets placed at strategic points in the text, lead the author to the technical content at the back of the book.
