Kerzner starts the book off by giving a brief history of project management and how far it has come through the years. Then, he details what is necessary for a company to be successful and to reach maturity and excellence in project management. He does so by using examples of companies he considers to be top performers in the field. He shares the problems these companies encountered while trying to implement project management and how they overcame them. The book is written in textbook format but not too technical.
