Book Description
When Fortune Magazine estimated that 70% of all strategies fail, it also noted that most of these strategies were basically sound, but could not be executed. The central premise of Strategic Project Management Made Simple is that most projects and strategies never get off the ground because of adhoc, haphazard, and obsolete methods used to turn their ideas into coherent and actionable plans. Strategic Project Management Made Simple is the first book to couple a step-by-step process with an interactive thinking tool that takes a strategic approach to designing projects and action initiatives. Strategic Project Management Made Simple builds a solid platform upon four critical questions that are vital for teams to intelligently answer in order to create their own strong, strategic foundation. These questions are: 1. What are we trying to accomplish and why? 2. How will we measure success? 3. What other conditions must exist? 4. How do we get there? This fresh approach begins with clearly understanding the what and why of a project - comprehending the bigger picture goals that are often given only lip service or cursory reviews. The second and third questions clarify success measures and identify the risky assumptions that can later cause pain if not spotted early. The how questions - what are the activities, budgets, and schedules - comes last in our four-question system. By contrast, most project approaches prematurely concentrate on the how without first adequately addressing the three other questions. These four questions guide readers into fleshing out a simple, yet sophisticated, mental workbench called "the Logical Framework" - a Systems Thinking paradigm that lays out one's own project strategy in an easily accessible, interactive 4x4 matrix. The inclusion of memorable features and concepts (four critical questions, LogFrame matrix, If-then thinking, and Implementation Equation) make this book unique.

The Cursed Wedding Night
Author: Ranjan Yadav
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
THE CURSED WEDDING NIGHT' is a collection of one hundred two poems. It contains twelve long poems, sixty-four sonnets and twenty-six short poems. Every poem is pregnant with wits, far-reaching fragrance and dappled hues that attract the readers. 'The Cursed Wedding Night', itself is a poem that shows a new bride in veil withers with her beauty and burns on the bed, in the fire of departure, on the very first night of her marriage. Her husband, a soldier, leaves her to burn on the bed of flowers in dim love-light, without unveiling the bride's beauty and goes to fight on the border for the sake of the nation. 'GANDHI: THE LEGEND' brings the readers back from the world of destruction such as "Molesting the Earth by mining, Invaders are going to touch the breasts of Moon and Mars, If diversity in ideology kills fraternity, this world would turn into a heap of dust."
