David Michaels is afraid. His palms sweat. His knees threaten to buckle. And his tongue, like his stomach, seems to be tied in knots. For David is due to give a series of presentations. His objective is to win support for his project to save sick children in Amazonia. Fortunately, help is at hand in the unlikely shape of Demosthenes, the 4th-century Greek orator. Under his tutelage, David overcomes his fears and learns how to create a powerful presentation. What he learns, he realises, can be applied to any presentation, large or small. By following David as he gradually masters the techniques this book teaches how to: define the audience; determine what to say; organize the content; control nervousness; deliver in style; use visual aids; and deal with questions. The fictional treatment should make this an entertaining as well as an informative guide. As an additional aid to learning, the key points are summarized in checklist form at the end of the book. It should be useful to all managers faced with the need to give effective presentations.

( In the information highway age Just-In-Time Systems--JI...)
In the information highway age Just-In-Time Systems--JITS--are becoming increasingly visible: customers want to purchase rather than develop customized computing systems and they want these systems now. JITS will allow for developing systems at the right time, in the right place, and at the right price to address the right needs. This is promoted by covenant relationships between customer and supplier; JITS developers recognize that all system development projects and their maintenance have commonalities. They can apply technical, operational, and managerial approaches to similar problems--the managemant structure or system components of a project, for example, may be applicable to similar projects and follow similar lifecycles. JITS developers, therefore, avoid reinventing the wheel. JITS will not appear overnight; its adoption will only come through evolution, not revolution. This incremental growth does not, however, imply that it's not revolutionary in substance. Managers, designers, programmers, engineers, analysts, planners, librarians, quality assurance specialists, customers, users, and suppliers of computing systems can benefit from this book.

(What are my chances of completing this project successful...)
What are my chances of completing this project successfully? What could prevent me? How can I anticipate potential threats? These are the kinds of questions you are likely to ask yourself when you become responsible for an important project. And these are the kinds of question Reducing Project Risk will help you answer. Drawing on examples from a variety of business activities as well as on their own extensive experience, the authors propose a systematic approach to dealing with risk. They provide both a conceptual framework and the practical techniques for identifying, analysing and controlling risks of any type. Among other things you will learn: ¢ how to carry out an objective review of the factors involved ¢ how to recognize the warning signs so that you can head off trouble before it strikes ¢ how to take care of the 'people side' of project management. Here is a book that will be welcomed not just by professional project managers but by anyone using human and material resources to accomplish a complex task.
