Concordville, Pennsylvania, USA–Soundview Executive Book Summaries, the global leader in business book summaries, announces that Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading not-for-profit advocacy association for the project management profession, has joined Soundview’s Association Alliance Program.
PMI’s executive leadership, in partnership with the editors at Soundview, has selected four industry-specific titles chosen exclusively for their importance and relevance to PMI’s more than 220, 000 individual members worldwide. Soundview’s summaries of these titles will help PMI’s members quickly build the knowledge, skills and value they need to maintain a competitive edge in the quickly expanding project management profession.
The first book summary, to be distributed in August, will distill into eight fast-reading pages the key concepts contained in “The AMA Handbook of Project Management,” by Paul C. Dinsmore and Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin. The book presents all the critical concepts and theories that every project manager must master, and includes definitive models, advice and in-depth solutions to specific project management dilemmas.
“Our discriminating editors culled thousands of business books, and worked closely with PMI, to hand pick the top four must-reads for any successful project manager,” said Stan Kornaga, vice president of Strategic Alliances for Soundview Executive Book Summaries. “Now, project managers who don’t have sufficient time to read the profession’s important books can leverage their PMI membership to accelerate their knowledge base and career development.”
Soundview’s Association Alliance Program brings the company’s popular monthly summaries of the year’s best business books directly to member-based professional organizations, including associations, nonprofits, societies, institutes, consortiums and other business groups. Soundview’s unparalleled summaries are a unique membership benefit that supplement industry-specific educational efforts, and help members get fast, accurate, up-to-the-minute business insight from the most respected authors.
Soundview’s exceptional PMI summaries will be available online as digital MP3 files and eight-page Adobe PDF summaries, giving even the busiest PMI members ready access to the year’s top business books, wherever they are, to strengthen their skills in record time.
“This Association Alliance Program with Soundview is a great opportunity for the Institute to make not only these four project management titles readily available in summary form, but also make available scores of other business summaries to project management practitioners on the go,” said PMI CEO Gregory Balestrero. “Regardless of location or time of day, the busy project manager can get the information they require to enhance the practice of their profession in the format that is most convenient for their needs.”
