    * define the theoretical and practical boundaries of decision making within the context of multiple stakeholder projects
    * provide an insight into what it takes to build high performance project teams
    * provide a communication taxonomy for managing multiple stakeholders and demonstrates how conflict should be managed

    * Achieve your project management goals by providing clear leadership
    * Build and develop an effective project team
