About the Author's Work
As the author behind the "Lessons from History" series Mark Kozak-Holland has always been interested in tracing the evolution of technology and the three industrial revolutions of the last 300 years. Whilst recovering a failed Financial Services project he first used the Titanic analogy to explain to project executives why the project had failed. The project recovery was going to take two years and $8m cost versus the original $2m cost and one-year duration. Mark's lectures/workshops on Lessons from History projects have been very popular at gatherings of project managers and CIOs.
Mark's latest book in the Lessons-From-History series is titled "Project Lessons from the Great Escape (Luft III)" www.mmpubs.com/books-LFH.html. It draws parallels from this event in World War II to today's business challenges. For information on The Great Escape Memorial Foundation see www.thegreatescapememorialproject.com.
