The new book from Comau Academy, entitled "," is the result of the collaboration between Comau, a provider of industrial automation products and services, and TCO International, a professional consulting company specialized for over 25 years in the creation of tools and strategies to develop competencies and transversal skills that are useful in facing the new challenges of the global world.
The authors, Roberto Guida, Head of Contract & Project Management in Comau, David Trickey, Founding Partner of TCO International, and Ezio Fregnan, HR Training Manager at Comau, have produced the book based on the results of a multi-year program conducted by the Comau Project Management Academy together with TCO International. This program was designed to develop a new generation of project managers able to influence and govern, within the projects under their responsibility, both the strictly technical aspects, as well as the human and relational aspects, of the teams they guide. "Comau learned long ago the importance of cultivating knowledge not only in technology but also in management, when aiming to be truly effective in running a business - especially if it develops within a multinational context," said a spokesperson.
The creation of "" is based on the belief that culture is not only the result of a university education, but is also cultivated and developed in the workplace, every day, and then spread profitably outside of the company perimeter.
This volume is designed to provide organizations with practical instruments for immediate use in the management of projects requiring the collaboration of teams composed by people of different nationalities.
The book opens with introductions by Prof. Domenico Bodega, Università Cattolica di Milano, and Prof. Harold Kerzner, of the International Institute of Learning. Afterwards, there is a three-way discussion regarding the development of business strategies, project management and the enhancement of people, led by Mauro Fenzi, CEO of Comau, Donatella Pinto, Head of Human Resources of Comau and author Roberto Guida. David Trickey and Ezio Fregnan also examine key issues regarding intercultural behavior in a multinational context.
The publication is published in English by McGraw-Hill and is available in bookstores, online and in an e-book version.
