Powered by Projects: Leading Your Organization in the Transformation Age

Rewire your organization—and your leadership—for a world driven by projects.

It's time to stop treating projects as side work. In the age of constant transformation, projects are the primary way organizations create value and accelerate innovation. In this new paradigm—the project economy—traditional agile approaches are no longer enough. The next evolution is the project-driven organization, where projects sit at the center of how companies are structured, led, and rewarded.

Powered by Projects: Leading Your Organization in the Transformation Age explores this bold new model. Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, the worldwide expert on project-based work, reveals the leadership styles and organizational structures necessary to drive success today. You'll learn to:

• Develop your organization's transformation muscles to remain resilient, adaptive, and relevant • Sponsor projects actively and prioritize them ruthlessly to ensure resources are directed to high-value initiatives • Decentralize decision-making to empower people to break through the bottlenecks that slow down transformation • Engage your project teams and workforce more deeply to accelerate value creation • Build AI into projects to enable quicker decisions and proactive planning and to lower risk

Filled with practical strategies and detailed case studies, this book is a new manifesto for CEOs, transformation drivers, and project leaders. Embrace the project-driven organization, become a project-driven leader, and turn your company into a highly engaged growth engine, powered by projects.
