‘Thank you, Peter Taylor, for another masterpiece. Following on from your first bestseller, “The Lazy Winning Project Manager,” “The Invisible Project Manager” is another gem of a read. Although it challenges the traditional role of the project manager and even calls for a radical transformation, it clearly points the way forward in the AI era. Important note: don't resist change but actively shape it and be part of it from the very beginning... that is, now!’ - Dr. Reinhard Wagner
