Richard Bacon, MP, co-author of a ‘must read’ book for anyone
involved in, or affected by, [pretty much every UK citizen] government
programmes entitled ‘Conundrum: Why every government gets things
wrong – and what we can do about it.’
APM has a stated ambition to “create a world in which all projects
succeed by 2020" – including all Government ones! We hear a great
deal about project failure but here is a man whose experience,
dogged questioning and forensic analysis make him a formidable
member of the Public Accounts Committee.
Richard really is in a unique position of being able to provide both a diagnosis and some
recommended treatment for the project patient who is suffering with a chronic condition!

2. Great programme managers listen, learn and lead
How to be in the top 10% of programme managers – Patrick Mayfield
Would you like to know what the elite project managers do, that the
rest of us don’t? The answers may surprise you?
Based on research into the behaviours of high-performing project and
programme managers, Patrick Mayfield and his team came to some
surprising conclusions.
Conclusions that could alter the way we look at governance and
organizational maturity. If you are a traditional programme manager,
who believes the answer lies in processes, tools, techniques and
templates, this presentation might upset you.
Great programme managers engage and
lead powerfully
Author, expert, consultant and coach, Jane Sparrow, explains how a mix
of generating excitement around the ambition, behaving like a leader
and using the right tools and processes is the critical mix to create
programme success.
She'll share real examples of individuals and organisations that have
successfully engaged all stakeholder groups to generate successful
implementation with a lasting impact on the business.
Jane will inspire us, challenge our thinking and show how individual
project and programme managers can leave an unseen legacy among
people long after the project has become 'the way we do things around
here'. She will leave us with practical takeaways that we can go away and put into use immediately.
