For more than a decade, I have been closely familiar with Laufer's research, consulting, writing and teaching. I am also familiar with the research behind his upcoming book, which exhibits the same depth of thought and creativity typified by all of Laufer's professional activities. <p>All white-collar work today is project work. Experienced and less experienced project managers alike have all been waiting too long for this breakthrough in project management. In giving us the real story of project management, Breaking the Code of Project Management combines the rigor of Good to Great with the conviction of Organizing Genius and the spirit of In Search of Excellence. No project manager can afford not to read and re-read this superb book. Dr. Edward J. Hoffman, Director, NASA Academy of Program and Project Engineering and Leadership
