About the Author
Rudolf Melik is the author of The Rise of the Project Workforce: Managing People and Projects in a Flat World, and is the CEO and a founder of Tenrox. In his writings and speeches, Melik explores the ways that companies can thrive in a world where rapid technological advances and globalization are changing how we get work done and manage the people who do it.
Under his leadership, Tenrox, the leader in Project Workforce Management enterprise software, has grown to a company with more than 100 employees, and more than 800 customers worldwide.
In The Rise of the Project Workforce, Melik shows how the flattening of the world has fundamentally transformed the structure of the organization and nature of work. Globalization, projectization, fragmentation of the enterprise (including outsourcing), and real-time collaboration across the planet have enabled companies to reduce costs, leverage a global talent pool, and execute challenging deliverables with a dispersed yet incredibly connected project workforce. These shifts are changing the way we work, collaborate, and make business decisions. Melik explains the challenges that companies face in today’s business environment and shows how to leverage these changes and new technologies to beat the competition.

Hi Rudolf,
My name is Steven Kass. I just checked your blog and appreciate the fact that you are really passionate about project management.
We have just launched a new site at http://www.askaboutprojects.com. It is a Q&A site focused on project management.
It uses a new type of platform that is at the crossroads of blogs, Wikipedia, Digg (for the votes), and even the Xbox (for the badges, and the playfulness) which has proved very successful with stackoverflow.com (which I believe has become the #1 Q&A site for developers).
We would be grateful if you would consider checking it out, blog about it, or even better participate in it! There are still unanswered questions, and we need experienced PM to keep helping the less experienced.
To get an idea of the full potential of askaboutprojects.com, it helps (me at least!) to look at the page featuring stackoverflow.com top users -> http://www.stackoverflow.com/users: you will see this is a very active community with top players of their field. It is also a very good way for professionals to promote their skills and gain awareness.
We are contacting you and other bloggers… and hopefully will get this party started!
Thank you for your time.
If you need any help or additional info, let me know.
