Review "I am confident you will find this book to be a very helpful resource as you manage business transformation and change programs."― Thomas H. Davenport, Professor, Babson College and Digital Fellow, MIT "Satish offers a practical guidebook that balances both the art and science of program management―regardless of what industry you are in. It has the credibility that only comes from someone who has been there. Well done!"― F.
