Project Resilience: The Art
of Noticing, Interpreting,
Preparing, Containing, and
Recovering
;is book is
about making
projects and
project man-
agers more
resilient, which
involves ;nd-
ing ways to
help project managers notice more,
interpret adversity more realisti-
cally, prepare themselves better for
it, and contain and recover from it
quicker and more appropriately. It
o;ers a glimpse into the tendency to
be irrational in the face of adversity
and o;ers a new perspective to aid in
managing risky, uncertain and com-
plex projects. ;e authors go beyond
commonly accepted standards in
project management with the aim of
providing an understanding of how to
implement projectwide resilience.

Organizational Enablers for Project Governance
In this practical guide, the authors examine the interaction of governance and governmentality in
various types of companies and demonstrate how these factors drive business success and in;uence project work, e;ciency and pro;tability. Research conducted in Sweden and China investigated di;erent systems of governance and their relationships to organizational success. ;e
research suggested that organizational enablers (including leadership, governance and in;uence
of project managers) have a critical impact on how organizations operate, adapt to market ;uc-tuations and forces, and make essential changes over time. ;e insights and industry examples
provided can be applied to any project-based organization.
