Despite the significant benefits that suppliers and customers can realize through collaboration on projects, programs or operational improvement initiatives, current literature barely discusses project management beyond the scope of a single company. This unique book fills this void with its practical straight forward description of the processes and techniques for creating and managing multi-company project organizations, emphasizing cross-company cooperation and the use of customer-supplier collaboration to maximize project, program or operational results. Multi-Company Project Management is intended to serve as a valuable desk reference for executives with responsibility for strategic projects or operations, as well as a practical "how to" guide for project managers and sponsors, project personnel, and operations staff responsible for leading and implementing improvement efforts.
