Reviews
'The book never wavers from its commitment to providing a valuable framework of methods to be used for the benefit of global project outcomes.' -- Winner of the 2008 PMI David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award 'What makes global projects succeed? Do you wonder why some generic projects are perfectly managed and delivered in some countries and not even understood in others when the project scope and communication were exactly the same? If you're looking for solid, easy-to-follow advice on cross-cultural collaboration, coaching over distance, global communication, organizations, tools and more, then this is the book for you! A must-have for any project management professional.' -- Fabien Niget, Orange Business Services, Outsourcing Services Program Office, Switzerland 'With a refreshing sense of pragmatism, and a methodical approach of key concepts, Jean Binder cuts through the complexity of Global Project Management issues. This book deals with most of the situations I've had to face as a Global Project Manager, and gives easy-to-implement techniques and hints to solve issues and improve best practices. I'm sure you'll benefit from the time saved thanks to its effectiveness.' -- Jacob Marchal, R&D Project Manager, Alcatel-Lucent
Award: Project Management Institute - David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award - 2008 'PMI is proud to award the PMI David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award to Jean Binder, PMP, MBA in recognition of the book Global Project Management... Over the course of its 300 pages, the book never wavers from its commitment to providing a valuable framework of methods to be used for the benefit of global project outcomes.' 'What makes global projects succeed? Do you wonder why some generic projects are perfectly managed and delivered in some countries and not even understood in others when the project scope and communication were exactly the same? If you're looking for solid, easy-to-follow advice on cross-cultural collaboration, coaching over distance, global communication, organizations, tools and more, then this is the book for you! I have been managing projects for over 13 years, developing telecommunication solutions all over the world. Before even completing 3 chapters, I was entirely engrossed in this book as it was describing exactly what I experience and was clearly explaining why some projects fail and why some succeed. This book is definitely a must-have for any Project Management professional.' - Fabien Niget, Orange Business Services, Outsourcing Services Program Office, Switzerland 'With a refreshing sense of pragmatism, and a methodical approach of key concepts, Jean Binder cuts through the complexity of Global Project Management issues.

It could serve as a textbook for universities that offer programs in project management and wish to or have a course on the virtual and global environment...organized in an easy-to-read fashion...shows Binder's openness to new ideas and recognition of the changing nature of the project management profession.' - Project Management Journal '...[This book is] one of the few available texts in this domain with a PM focus and as such is makes a valuable contribution to PM practice with many diagrams, figures and tables which make it easy to pick up refer to and grasp overall appreciation of topics...I would certainly recommend that this book be ordered as a valuable reference for all university and corporate organisation libraries...This represents one of the pioneer books in an important area of focus for PM and so I am pleased to see this available to widen access to PM wisdom.' - Derek H.T. Walker, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia (in International Journal of Managing Projects in Business)
