I’m proud to announce that my new book, The Rise of the Project Workforce: Managing People and Projects in a Flat World, is now available for pre-ordering, in advance of its official release in August.

Please click here to order The Rise of the Project Workforce from Amazon.com.

This book is the culmination of a great deal of research and analysis to understand what is happening to today’s workforces.  In short, globalization, projectization, and rapid technology change are creating a “flat world” (a term coined by author Thomas Friedman) where projects and workforces must be managed in new ways.  Top-down, command and control, centrally managed departments are giving way to collaborative, project-driven, ad hoc, dispersed and outsourced project workforces: Workforce 2.0.

The book describes these trends in detail, and explains quite a few best practices for organizations who need to manage the project workforce effectively.

You can also read more about the book at www.projectworkforcebook.com.

We welcome your feedback on the book and the Project Workforce concept.
