In depth, it delves into the concepts of continual improvement, change, and innovation, explaining their profound importance in enhancing performance, both incrementally and transformative. The authors examine the four types of work and workforce management in organizations, including Strategic, Operations, Projects, and Crises, using four common comparative variables: Proactive/Preventive versus Reactive/Corrective, Temporary/Unique versus Ongoing/Repetitive, Innovative versus Maintaining the Status Quo, and Schedule Focus: Fiscal Year versus Short Term versus Long Term. These comparisons lay the foundation for understanding the unique nature of Projects (and Programs) that are fundamentally driven by change.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or a newcomer to the field, Project Management for Performance Improvement Teams is a valuable resource that will empower you to lead and succeed in today's dynamic project landscape.
