​Presentation Synopsis:  In today’s new world of emerging technologies, we want game changing results. Things are changing fast and furious and projects need advanced skills, with a very different approach to success. The world is now in a digital disruption changing and aligning to the business and looking for business value.

McLeod, Perry. The Complete Guide to Requirements Management Using the REPAC® Framework. J. Ross Publishing, 2018. ISBN-1604271353.

In his forthcoming book, Perry discusses his communication framework REPAC; an in-depth treatise designed to help project teams center their efforts on stakeholder’s needs and what is required to fulfill them. Seen through the lenses of poetic naturalism, organizational and behavioral psychology, propositional logic, and communication theory, Perry uniquely argues that all discussions require the right context, focus, perspective, and depth of analysis to build a point-of-view language-set from which atomic, unambiguous imperatives emerge.
