Product Description
Taming Change with Portfolio Management is a powerful presentation of the cutting-edge discipline of portfolio management applied to organization-wide change events. The most effective leaders approach change as a powerful force to be anticipated and leveraged. They tame change by managing it in a comprehensive and systematic way. Portfolio management offers proven tools and techniques to unify how an organization harnesses the power of change to create measurable value. Taming Change begins with an introduction to the relentless change that impacts our personal and professional lives. It then provides practical steps to effectively use your organization's capacities to meet the dynamic demands that it faces. Finally, it provides the tools and advice you need to confidently implement portfolio management in your organization. With more than 50 years of combined industry experience, Pat Durbin and Terry Doerscher have collaborated on this 352 page book of management expertise and practical guidance, brought to life with more than 60 illustrations. While hundreds of books have been written about various portions of the portfolio ecosystem, this is the first book to address organization-wide change management. Get your copy of this take-action guide to harnessing the power of change with the cutting-edge discipline of portfolio management.

Taming Change a great read for ITIL practitioners... July 5, 2010
John M. Worthington (New Jersey)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
While the scope of Taming Change is well beyond those interested in adopting IT service management, the concepts apply extremely well to that environment. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to understand how portfolio management can and should be integrated into an overall program for effective IT/Business governance.

A Book Written For Executives By Executives June 23, 2010
Dennis L. Bolles (Holland, MI United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Change is the rule to day, not the exception. In the past the effects of economic climate changes were long term, they became the new norm for many years. The changes that have affected all of us, individuals and businesses, around the world beginning in 2008 have created conditions that we have never experienced before. The economic challenges that are impacting organizations of all sizes around the world are without precedence. Today our roles as business leaders and the way we have managed the cost of doing business as usual are gone. Our mindset of how we manage our organizations must change if we are to survive these economic challenges.
Pat Durbin and Terry Doerscher have developed a concept for managing change with the Portfolio Ecosystem in their book "Taming Change with Portfolio Management: Unify Your Organization, Sharpen Your Strategy, And Create Measurable Value" that provides organizations of all types and sizes a way to effectively manage changes impacting all areas of the organization. This book is written for business executives by business executives using the language that is understood by executives.
This book is by far the best book about positioning the Project Management Office within an organization to affectively "...apply the discipline of portfolio management to take command of change events as they flow through your organization." (Durbin and Doerscher p3).
Practical PPM Guidance for Today's Businesses June 24, 2010
Mark Price Perry (Orlando, Florida)

I highly recommend this new portfolio management book written by Pat Durbin and Terry Doerscher, two of the thought leaders at Planview and within the project management community. The book provides a comprenhensive set of topics and a unique perspective not found in the current literature. Many organizations struggle with the pressing reality that change needs to be organizational instituionalized, not viewed as a one time event. Durbin and Doerscher have teamed to pen a must-read book on this often difficult to understand and implement domain. Congrats to the authors.
True expertise, real-world context and vision July 5, 2010
Mario Arlt (Princeton, NJ United States)

This is an excellent book both for portfolio management practitioners and executives. Several aspects of the book are outstanding: the integration of project portfolio management into the greater organizational context of managing a business, process focus and the emphasis on using portfolio management as an instrument of change. This book is both visionary and relevant to practitioners at the same time. Highly recommended.
Excellent Reference Book for Portfolio Management July 18, 2010

I have just completed Taming Change and found that it is an excellent reference book for both strategic and tactical business change management. I especially like to chapters on implementing portfolio management where you use a process approach to building a framework. I highly recommend this book.
