The author notes that all good project management systems include a focus on what is important, a system for taking corrective action, and an emphasis on timely responses.

According to the author, two new management tools have revolutionized modern business process: project management and automated workflow. Project management is a charge to get a project done with the manager responsible for multiple tasks; most importantly, successful project managers complete what they start. On the other hand, workflow automates the continuing, repetitive processes not susceptible to project management. Business workflows are scripted programs with clear definitions and rules that enable one to preview the conclusion and avoid surprise endings. Whatever is repeated should be dealt with in a standard and persistent manner until the issue is resolved.

This is an overview of project management and human resource management, a model for effective management, information on handling project stakeholders, and organizational design strategies.
