Reviewed: 09-17-21

I listen to this book over a few different Settings thanks. I found it to be it to be a reminder of many of the best practices it's the best practices as well as a great framework to organize for future success. I appreciate it the end wrapping up that it's not all just about money and yourself but also how to live in a world that is enjoyable because it is sustainable.

a good overview of the CIO role

Reviewed: 05-25-21

a fun way of incorporating a variety of case studies as well as one-on-one interviews with cios over the years. All these case studies are interesting and informative. what I found most beneficial was the converting those case stories into actual checklists and actions to be taken. while this applied very well when I first started the book it applies less so for me today. But I will be referring back to this and the checklist provided in the future as it comes up again and again.

good reminder to treat people as individuals

Reviewed: 05-23-21

A one hour seminar on how to look at treating your teams is individuals rather than as prejudged groups across different age spectrum with prejudged biases and challenges of them. Shared by a manager who still remembers the mistakes she made And the lessons she learned.

good collection from 90s of best practices. intere

Reviewed: 05-17-21

interesting to hear some of the best practices from decades ago about organizational change management or ocm have not changed substantially. I think a lot of this is around the fact that management in general and change management is challenging and this demonstrates that we need to take new approaches and New Attitudes to change in an organization.

an interesting premise that never get started

Reviewed: 12-10-20

work was assigned as a reading assignment for for daughter in school so I wanted to read along to see what it was about. It was really difficult to stay engaged I kept thinking that the story should get started soon. But it never really did. Lovely themes of friendship and relationships as we grow through life. but the plot is just Meandering along through life. Perhaps that's the point that life is just Meandering as we go through it. There's a slight Arc around an interesting exploration around Healthcare but it never is explored in much depth but just in a cursory relationship as to what is Humanities values and morals around community and health. I would suggest that if you are not fully engaged in the first couple chapters Let It Go.

nice review to build to success - solve for value

Reviewed: 10-23-20

For very large and complex concept of trying to organize Enterprise and medium-sized businesses project management offices this short book frames the core mistakes of many lproject management offices. his analysis aligns with many of my own experiences of failed pmo's. After identifying the problem and inherent causes of the problem, this book clearly identifies a path towards success - the agile value based PMO.

The book is a nice blend of prescriptive, checklist, case studies that makes it an easy listen while fairly dense and with material. my only concern or reluctance in giving it a full five stars is a lack of a summary checklist of some of its key points and suggestions. I did see some of Neil's presentations online from various project management Institute conventions that I will be utilizing.

Great aural experience leveraging space

Reviewed: 07-17-20

this is a nice 5-minute relaxing piece that leverages the wonderful oral space with Chelo's to give an Asian flavor to The Chimes with a beautiful wood tone. don't forget to reset your speed back to one to enjoy this as it was intended.

wonderful clarity in headphones no dualogue

Reviewed: 07-17-20

this is a nice meditative piece with Chimes and bells for relaxing. Only wish it was a little bit longer almost tempting to put it on a loop. Although for a nice short time to piece together a reminder to take just a few minutes out and relax.
