Organizations simply can no longer execute projects the same way they have in the past. Their managers must rethink methods and change in response to an evolving context that is confronting every organization. An efficient way to realize this change is to evaluate project management and organizational project management maturity. Project Management Maturity: Elevating Organizational Performance explains how such an evaluation not only provides an independent benchmark of project management performance but also recommends targeted actions for change and improvement.The book offers a framework to assess project management maturity at both the project and organizational levels. This framework was developed by academics and professionals tasked with evaluating project management maturity to improve organizational performance. To explain the steps required for a successful maturity evaluation, the book takes an action research approach to describe in detail the evaluation process. It further illustrates the process with a real-world case study of a maturity evaluation in a public sector organization. Presenting key findings and recommendations that follow from an evaluation, the book explains the four categories of results and describes general avenues for improvement based on the authors' field experience. To help managers with their own evaluations, the book discusses how project management professionals have experienced the evaluation process and how they have transformed their organizations. It also presents how evaluators have experienced the process and how they have collaborated with project and organizational managers.

Industrialized Construction in the Age of AI and Robotics explores the transformative convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, and modern construction methods. This comprehensive textbook reveals how cutting-edge technologies are reshaping the construction industry, offering unprecedented improvements in efficiency, quality, and sustainability.From fundamental concepts to practical applications, the book is divided into three sections. Part One establishes the foundational principles of industrialized construction and introduces the revolutionary potential of AI and robotics. Part Two delves deep into six critical operational areas: AI-driven design systems, agile production processes, intelligent supply chain management, automated on-site assembly, predictive maintenance, and smart work packaging. The final section examines current challenges, from technical and financial constraints to regulatory considerations, before exploring emerging trends and future innovations. Each chapter features detailed case studies and practical examples that bridge theory and real-world implementation.Written for a diverse audience, this essential resource serves as both an academic textbook and a professional reference. Students in Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Construction Engineering and Management, and AI &amp; Robotics programs will find it invaluable for understanding the intersection of these disciplines. Industry practitioners, including construction managers, project engineers, and technology integrators, will gain practical insights into implementing AI and robotics solutions. Whether you're preparing for a career in modern construction, leading technological transformation in your organization, or conducting advanced research in the field, this book provides the interdisciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in construction's AI-driven future.

Unmasking Safety's Myth of Individualism unveils a critical gap in current safety thinking: safety is not solely an individual responsibility, but a social outcome that entails collective action and thinking. Focusing on individual responsibility often translates into individual blame (most often called accountability) and is usually accompanied by a reluctance to recognize the psychosocial harm that leads to physical and emotional injuries. The cost of this oversimplification is that we miss the crucial role of psychological well-being and social dynamics.This book encourages us not to dismiss the importance of safety management systems, but to expose their limitations. Along with practical pointers, it advocates for a relationship-centered evolution that prioritizes human connection to break through the current status quo and reduce serious injuries and fatalities. The focus on relationship-centered leadership and the critique of an exclusively individualistic or physical focus is timely and relevant. The book challenges leaders to rethink their approach to safety, moving beyond over-reliance on individual responsibility and embracing a relationship-centered model that fosters collective action and psychological wellbeing. It provides a blueprint where leaders act as catalysts for change, guiding and supporting their teams to achieve shared safety goals. Unlike traditional approaches, this book explores the crucial role of social dynamics and relational leadership in creating truly safe workplaces. It offers specific strategies for fostering communication and building trust. Additionally, this book provides valuable insights into the role of OHS advisors from a social perspective. It explores how leaders can effectively leverage the H&amp;S function by understanding the challenges OHS professionals face in influencing organizational culture. Finally, it offers practical advice and strategies for executives and managers as well as for OHS advisors on navigating hierarchical structures and effectively drive safety improvements.This book is written for all safety leaders, executives and safety professionals. It could also have a role in supplementary reading for graduate programs.
