"Successful, Win-win Strategies for a Superyacht Project" by Tomek M. Glowacki is a dissertation on what to do, what not to do, what to watch out for, and what to expect in the cake mix of building a super yacht. The author has a long association with super yachts in many capacities of great significance. Specific instructions are given, breaking down the strategies into smaller portions like product development and project management, which is further analysed as small packets of work. Planning the work, launching, sea trials, and commissioning are discussed next. The final task of the builder, handing over the yacht to its owners, is made clear, followed by the real completion, a celebration party of ‘handing over.’ However, the author mentions that the real final act, one must not forget, is to collate the lessons learned. Successful, Win-win Strategies for a Superyacht Project by Tomek M. Glowacki is a very helpful book, not only for those involved in yacht building, but also for all who are likely to be connected with works of any kind. The author seems to have put in a lot of effort to cover the whole gamut of meeting deadlines while maintaining quality. This excellent guide comes up with a rare gem towards the end of its advisory notes: “The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on your successes - any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your mistakes."
