Project 2015


Book Description

This work looks ahead to the year 2015 and beyond, seeking to understand how the Amer. armed forces might contribute better to the nation's future security. The authors try to conceptualize how a transformed world situation 20 years from now could affect U.S. security. They describe the most plausible changes likely to develop -- not as prophecy nor as an intelligence forecast, but as a considered statement of those recognizable trends that portend the greatest influence on U.S. security. By being cognizant of such plausible alternatives, American policy makers would have the chance to pursue or avoid them.

Here, you are exposed to home strategy which, when well implemented, ensures that you’ll experience untold measures of success from one project to another. Unavoidable. I identify very subtle entrapments which can cause you to make unsafe decisions in the course of enlisting the support of contractors. “Project Management 2015” is engineered to offer strategic tips and ideas to enable you to steer clear of making very costly old-tradition mistakes which normally leave residents exposed to escalating degrees of deception and its dire consequences. “Project Management 2015” answers a slew of questions you may or may not have asked yourself. Among these are: *Can I really trust this company? *Should I do a background check on everyone? *Do I have enough to pay for this? *How much will this really cost? *How much should I pay the contractor up front? *Is it really necessary to write everything down? *Is managing my home project from “within” that necessary? *More and more. Really, you’re going to have questions which you hadn’t thought of asking until now. Conversely, you’ll have your answers. Then you’ll have more questions. It’s a cyclical thing. However, you’ll find that the answers you get here aren’t just “answers.” Instead, they’re “working answers.” That’s part of the design. I’m confident enough to say, that if you thought you were managing your projects before, you really haven’t seen anything yet. I sincerely believe that if you’re blessed with a private home that you’re also blessed with the responsibility and ability to manage it. However, it’s what “you” believe which matters most. Your home project success is only as successful as the nature and timely implementation of complimentary priorities. It all boils down to what you choose to believe they should be and will be in relation.

Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design


Book Description

Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design describes an approach to facing two fundamental and unavoidable issues brought about by climate change uncertainty in water resources planning and project design. The first is a risk assessment problem. The second relates to risk management. This book provides background on the risks relevant in water systems planning, the different approaches to scenario definition in water system planning, and an introduction to the decision-scaling methodology upon which the decision tree is based. The decision tree is described as a scientifically defensible, repeatable, direct and clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. While applicable to all water resources projects, it allocates effort to projects in a way that is consistent with their potential sensitivity to climate risk. The process was designed to be hierarchical, with different stages or phases of analysis triggered based on the findings of the previous phase. An application example is provided followed by a descriptions of some of the tools available for decision making under uncertainty and methods available for climate risk management. The tool was designed for the World Bank but can be applicable in other scenarios where similar challenges arise.
