The Nehemiah Effect: Ancient Wisdom from the World’s First Agile Projects

by Ted Kallman, Andrew Kallman

The rapid convergence of technological and knowledge growth is resulting in disruptive change unlike any in human history. So why go back 2,500 years for a business leadership and project management model? According to today’s experts, Nehemiah’s building the 4.5-mile wall around Jerusalem in 445 BC should have taken years with a huge labor force. But he accomplished it with 150 leaders and an enormous volunteer team in 52 days. His book is a roadmap on how to accomplish seemingly impossible goals using a Business Agile framework. The Nehemiah Effect combines new mindsets, methodologies, and technologies with proven, ancient wisdom to deliver surprising results for today’s business leaders and project managers.

Cliche and jargon filled

A poorly written, jargon-ridden read, albeit with some good insights. Chiefly for mega-sized corporations. Not a lot of meat for the small business.
