Published 2009 - ISBN: 0273722328 Brilliant Project Management (Revised Edition) |
Projects - and Project managers - are failing at an alarming rate. In the IT industry only 24% of projects succeed according to the Government Office of Commerce. Railtrack and the upgrade of the NHS are high profile examples of large project failures. And there are plenty of low-profile examples available too - as any viewer of Channel 4’s “Property Ladder” programme will confirm.
In an ever growing market, Brilliant Project Management stands out from the crowd. This revised edition is part of the high profile Brilliant series and the first edition redefined the mould for books in this category. Through its engaging and entertaining approach, Brilliant Project Management does more than just talk you through the process. It provides practical advice and techniques taken from people’s experience in the real world so you always know exactly what to do and say to make your project a success.
Brilliant Project Management highlights the areas where your actions and behaviours will make the difference between failure, an average outcome, and a huge success. Whether you’re always behind schedule and fighting to catch up, haven’t a clue where to start, or simply want your projects to be more successful, this book will teach you simple and effective techniques to leading successful projects every time.
The Author says: In this book we've distilled down what we think it takes to be a brilliant project manager. We've drawn on the good, the bad and the ugly - and the eccentric. But above all, we've thought long and hard about what we've learned from rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty. Between us we've got over thirty years of Barker and Cole hands-on project management experience. That's plenty of time to learn lessons at the school of hard knocks!
Our advice has been packaged up as a guide book to project management. You can dip into the topics that interest you most, or read it from cover to cover. Like any guide book, we've had to be selective about the subjects we explore. However, we've focussed our attention on what you'll find of most practical use and can immediately apply. We'll show you the tricks of the trade and the traps to avoid. Best of all, this advice is tried and tested in the real world of project management. We've got plenty to say about both the traditional project management topics, as well as the people side of the job that often gets overlooked. Project managers don't just struggle with the intricacies of plans and risk logs, they struggle with people too!

"Build It! DIY Projects for Farmers, Smallholders and Gardeners"Using recycled materials where ever possible, Joe Jacobs Build provides step-by-step instructions for over 50 DIY projects for both inside and outside the barns of the farm or smallholding. Former engineer Joe Jacobs guides you through the equipment, the tools, the materials and the plans to provide you with clear instructions, inspiration and plenty of ideas. The projects include a polytunnel, beehives, chicken arks and runs, gates, hurdles and fencing, cloches, dog kennel, feed bins, a heat pump installation, a heated orphan lamb feeder, incubator, nesting boxes and renewable energy projects including solar panels and plenty more, making this an essential book for any keen DIY enthusiast with a basic knowledge of construction.
A review in "Landworker Newspaper" commented "This is an uncomplicated and enthusiastic guide encouraging people to build all sorts of projects, many would think beyond their capabilities. Don't expect blueprints with a detailed description of each and every step fully explained, but rather excellent simplified instructions and diagrams, which are easier to follow and adapt than more complex works. This is the book's strength. The author has an easy-going and humorous writing style, so it's not like an instruction book which can be very dry reading. I liked the up-to-date references and particularly the references to internet sites: indeed, throughout the book, the author tells you where to look for more information. It is inspiration in its approach and even demystifies the complex subjects of renewable energy and water conservation projects with a practical, common sense approach. The price of the book is very quickly recovered with the helpful tips and practical advice Joe offers.Used & New Copies - Amazon pages: USA Canada UK & Europe (all deliver world-wide)
Thorough cleansing and disinfection procedures for pig housing are an effective way to break the on-farm cycle of re-infection with infectious swine diseases which can occur on "pig sick" land and buildings. Disease challenge to healthy incoming stock can be minimised by reducing the number and range of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, parasites) to which they will be exposed before they have overcome the stress of moving. This flyer includes a list of approved disinfectants.

NEW DIY BOOK 2009!! "Build It!....with Pallets"
Often found abandoned at the back of factories, at dumps or even in skips, the humble pallet, for many practically minded people, represents a huge source of inspiration as well as a challenge. When skilfully broken down into timber and smartened up, they can be re-fashioned into beautiful chairs, tables, fences, gates, chicken arks, planters, sheds, decking, cladding and many other functional items. "Build It!...With Pallets", part of the "Build It!" series, illustrates the very best techniques for breaking down the pallets safely. The author then discusses the best ways to refurbish the wood and provides over 20 plans for tables, fences, chairs, planters and other items of indoor and outdoor furniture. This book is the ideal companion for those who views towers of pallets not as an eyesore but as an inspiration and an economical source of wood, making them the ultimate recycling solution. Engineer Joe Jacobs has a smallholding and a pig farm in Yorkshire U.K. He is a regular contributor to Home Farmer magazine and is the author of the best-selling book, "Build It!" (see above).
