Value is added to projects through the relationships surrounding
the client; the focus of this book is therefore the client as
project, rather than the building on the ground. It shows how to
create and maintain effective relationships between the client and
the project team, as well as intra-coalition relationships
Students, academics and practitioners need to understand the
changing nature of reforms from successive calls for change by the
industry’s various clients and client groups. Project team
network relationships are a function of mindsets, behaviour and
competencies of individuals and The Management of Complex Projects:
a relationship approach:
* Explores the relationship at the project interface:
client-design team-contractor, stakeholders and supply chain
relations
* Examines different concepts to the development and
management of relationships; formation and maintenance issues
* Highlights some of the key issues that require development,
both academically and through applied research.
Most project management books cover tools and techniques; this one
covers the softer skills and shows how crucial good relationships
are to the successful management of projects.
