Multi-Company Project Management: Maximizing Business Results through Strategic Collaboration

by Dean A. Baker

Despite the significant benefits that suppliers and customers can realize through collaboration on projects, programs or operational improvement initiatives, current literature barely discusses project management beyond the scope of a single company. This unique book fills this void with its practical straight forward description of the processes and techniques for creating and managing multi-company project organizations, emphasizing cross-company cooperation and the use of customer-supplier collaboration to maximize project, program or operational results. Multi-Company Project Management is intended to serve as a valuable desk reference for executives with responsibility for strategic projects or operations, as well as a practical "how to" guide for project managers and sponsors, project personnel, and operations staff responsible for leading and implementing improvement efforts.
