Why you should read Building Project Management Competence
Author J. Davidson Frame provides just about the last word on competence. His book covers every facet, from the need for competence to how to achieve it on an individual, team and organizational basis. His timely and important treatise is well organized, exact and brimming with inside expertise. However, its personality is very much that of a textbook; the information is dense, clear and interesting, but not chatty. Frame explains how to recruit, hire, retain, encourage, promote and reward people and groups who know what they’re doing. He explains what might be wrong with your organization if it thwarts competence instead of nurturing it. He covers methods of measuring specific achievements and skills, including professional standards in project management and actual assessment tests for individuals, teams and organizational projects. The quest to achieve, build and measure competence is a growing trend in business. Read this detailed book and you will know why. getAbstract.com recommends it to project managers and to all those concerned about employee competence. It takes the entire conversation to a more professional level.
