The Great Challenge
Xavier Tusquets
The first step to change the way you manage projects in uncertain environments
"I have experienced first-hand the pressure of projects that don't move forward, the constant changes in priorities, the stress of teams.
I know what it means to work hard and not see clear results.
That's why I wrote El Gran Reto: to show, through a novel story inspired by my own experience and those lived with my clients, that another way of managing is possible." Xavier Tusquets
What does El Gran Reto bring to you?
- An inspiring story that reflects the experience of managing real projects.
- A clear introduction to the CCPM system for managing projects in uncertain environments.
- Practical reflections to start transforming the way projects are managed.
- The first step before deeper learning with our online CCPM course
"An enjoyable read that sparks interest in a truly effective methodology."
