The Flow Economics Book
A full length treatment of the framework, currently in development.
The complete argument
The book brings together the full Flow Economics framework in one place.
It begins with the Project Illusion and the diagnostic case for why most multi project organisations underdeliver.
It develops the core concepts, including the Coordination Ceiling, shared resource dynamics, and the economic logic of flow at the portfolio level.
It draws on the foundational work of Stephen Devaux, Jan Willem Tromp, Albert Ponsteen, and Alexey Mikhalevich, and shows how their contributions combine into a single way of thinking about delivery.
It closes with the implications for how organisations should structure decisions, govern portfolios, and develop the capability to operate above the Coordination Ceiling.
Written for leaders, advisors, and serious practitioners
The book is written for those responsible for portfolio outcomes, and for the consultants, advisors, and senior practitioners who work alongside them.
It is intended to be readable by anyone with experience of multi project environments, and substantive enough to reward those who want the full intellectual case behind the framework.
Built with the people who shaped the foundations
The book draws on and credits the work of Stephen Devaux, Jan Willem Tromp, Albert Ponsteen, and Alexey Mikhalevich, with contributed chapters and material from each.
Together, their contributions span value driven project management, systems thinking and the Theory of Constraints, academic research into multi project resource allocation, and computational optimisation of constrained systems.
