Recent research shows that the number of individuals working in project-based roles will increase significantly over the next several years, forecasted to reach 88 million by 2027. Likewise, the value of project-oriented economic activity worldwide will surpass $20 trillion, representing millions of projects that require millions of project managers per year! This exponential growth of the Project Economy is impacting not only organizations, but the very nature of work and our entire professional lives. The traditional career path of previous generations is now a distant memory. Today, we don't remain at a single company for decades: we change jobs many times during our careers and are likely to be self-employed at some point. As this trend accelerates, professional careers will become a sequence of projects in which we apply the lessons we have learned from previous jobs, companies, and industries--all while positioning ourselves for our next career move. Clearly, mastering the processes of effective decision-making and Portfolio Project Management (PPM) is no longer optional. Juggling multiple projects has become a major challenge, as every aspect of both our professional and personal lives is becoming a set of projects. In A Symphony of Choices, workplace culture and strategy expert Gerald Leonard provides you with the practical tools and real-world examples that will help you build the knowledge and skills you need to thrive in a project-driven world. Through an engaging fable, Gerald offers invaluable advice on choosing the right people, projects, processes, performance metrics, risk and implementation strategies, and much more. Regardless of industry and stage of professional development, A Symphony of Choices is a must-read for anyone who wants to level-up their decision-making, clearly define their goals, overcome challenges, and succeed in the face of interconnected adversities.
