Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

this professional organization So I am grateful for and enthusi-astically applaud their contribution to our knowledge

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

this professional organization So I am grateful for and enthusi-astically applaud their contribution to our knowledge

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

this professional organization So I am grateful for and enthusi-astically applaud their contribution to our knowledge

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

this professional organization So I am grateful for and enthusi-astically applaud their contribution to our knowledge

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

this professional organization So I am grateful for and enthusi-astically applaud their contribution to our knowledge

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

this professional organization So I am grateful for and enthusi-astically applaud their contribution to our knowledge

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

xviii Foreword

All of the bookrsquos editors are highly qualified and they repre-sent a variety of professional backgrounds To illustrate just a bit of this context Richard Klimoski is a highly regarded industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologist based in academia Beverly Dugan also a distinguished I-O psychologist works in a pre-eminent human resources consulting organization Carla Mes-sikomer is a leader in the formal study and teaching of project management Franccedilois Chiocchio is a social scientist in a leading Canadian business school

The editors also have recruited a set of chapter contributors with superb credentials and lots of real-life experience They come from major industries and consulting firms as well as from academic settings and from different professional back-grounds Their organizations are often global ones About one-third of the authors in this volume are from outside of the United States mostly from Western Europe and Canada As our world becomes more globalized in trade and cultural exchange successful project management demands an equally broad awareness and this volume helps the reader to achieve that understanding

The bookrsquos title Advancing Human Resource Project Management may be too modest I think in zeroing in on the ldquohuman resource projectrdquo Its practical value extends beyond HR to any sizable project done in the social sciences or in different organizations All such projects need to deal with contracting and ethical issues getting the necessary resources to the right people at the right time assessing the outcomes of the project for oneself and the client and implementing results A broad view of ldquoprojectrdquo would fit equally well to a basic employee selection project the installa-tion of a performance management process a merger and acqui-sition or the undertaking of basic research in the social sciences On a smaller scale it would also apply to most projects done as part of a graduate course

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of

Foreword

This book is destined to be a well-thumbed volume kept close at hand by many practitioners and academics It will serve as a refer-ence a playbook and instructional manual for those who will be managing a variety of projects It will certainly help to minimize the ldquospeed bumpsrdquo and to avoid the hidden ldquolandminesrdquo in our practice

The book will appeal especially to people new to project man-agement which includes almost all of us at some point Typically our education prepares us to work alone or in small groups Proj-ects grow larger and more complex as we progress in our careers If we are lucky we gather experience along with the necessary bruises as we progress in our work This book will make the ldquoschool of hard knocksrdquo a lot easier because it furnishes a check-list of issues to be faced examples of how to cope with such issues and a new understanding of our responsibilities in carrying out projects As a result the contents of this book will also be quite useful for experienced practitioners who want to mentor more junior colleagues for faculty members who want to teach or give guidance to students and for all practitioners who value a tem-plate they can use as a reminder list

When the proposal for this book was first sent to me I was surprised and delighted as was the SIOP Professional Practices Editorial Board when they reviewed it We saw that this book would fill an important hole in most practitionersrsquo skill sets The management of projects is rarely taught to us We learn mostly from experience Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a manager mentor or more senior colleague who can help us by example or instruction After all we all want to know the things to consider in contracting a project setting up and working with a timeline dealing with budget and even legal issues and coping with ethical concerns that may come up during a project

The beauty of this book is that it distills the experience of many skilled practitioners with wonderful examples of what must be done on projects large and small to result in success Overviews of the key issues are presented and then also shown in various case studies so we can truly see how project management is done and how it pays off in project success

We the readers and users of this book are indebted to the editors and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and understanding with us Their work is really a gift to us in more than one way A fact not well known is that the editors and contributors to this series receive no payment except for a copy of the book All royalties go to SIOP to help further the aims of
