Managing Sensitive Projects deals with sensitive or difficult projects, ranging from redundancy programs to the disposal of radioactive waste, from the launch of a new product to the introduction of a new computer system. The method - the strategy of the lateral project - is radically different from those used in projects which are normally associated with traditional project management. Derived from twenty years of experience in working with brave managers on difficult projects, the lateral approach is a flexible and non-confrontational method that introduces change through an understanding of how people think and act. Managing Sensitive Projects, the revised translation of the French management book, is a practical handbook, with numerous real case studies, illustrating how sensitive projects can be successfully managed in a radical new way.
