In Breakthrough Project Management, Ian Heptinstall & Robert Bolton show you how, by combining proven innovations in project management and procurement, you can break the so-called ‘Iron Triangle’ of project management.It is no longer a case of “Time, Cost Quality, choose any two”.Each of the two main elements of Breakthrough Project Management has been shown to bring step-change improvements in project durations, predictability, cost and quality.Discover how Critical Chain Project Management reduces project durations by at least 25%, whilst at the same time increasing reliability and reducing cost.Learn how Project Alliancing removes the commercial and contractual obstacles to establishing a truly collaborative project team across the range of suppliers and contractors involved in the project.  This is key not only to exploiting Critical Chain, but to many other project improvement techniques, and to further increasing quality whilst reducing risk, cost and duration.Do you want to be left behind as your competitors breakthrough the constraints imposed by today’s “best practice” in project management?

Are you having trouble communicating? Maybe you should try talking less--and listening more.

"For a long time now, religion in the West has been polarized between a democratic kind of faith meant for simple believers, and divine mysteries so high that hardly anyone can claim to know much about them. The vital connecting link between them, that of metaphysical religion, is all but lost..." (From the Introduction.) There are many books that seek to answer the fundamental questions of life: Who am I? Does life have a purpose? How should I live? Dr Bolton's book brings to these universal questions an extraordinary degree of metaphysical insight. It contains in highly condensed form a veritable library of traditional wisdom, offering a systematic reconstruction of our understanding of the soul and its relation to archetypal reality. Its starting-point is the fact that increasing numbers of people seem to lack spiritual and material power over their own lives. Modern man feels like a victim. But true power, real freedom, is closer than we think. Our mistake lies in accepting a false view of the self, and neglecting the metaphysical dimension that gives access to eternity. Dr Bolton's book offers a crash-course in liberation. It can liberate us, specifically, from a common sense idea of reality which is profoundly false, and which holds us in unconscious slavery to time and appearances. The book defends the capacity of the human mind to obtain objective insight, despite the obfuscations of postmodernism, and represents a bold development of the Platonist tradition associated with St Augustine, Plotinus, and Proclus. "This book is like a diamond: a diamond placed not in a necklace, but at the business end of a drill. It is up to us to use the drill to penetrate reality. Writing the book was a great achievement. Reading it invites us to make the achievement our own." - Stratford Caldecott (G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture)
