APM Wessex Branch: Soft Skills Training for Project Management – harder than you might think!

APM event hosted by the Wessex Branch on 25 January 2024. Speaker: Marion Thomas This event explored the soft skills that enable project and programme managers to be effective in their leadership. Marion Thomas, experienced PM, speaker, certified coach, ChPP mentor, and trainer in leadership, led a discussion on the non-technical skills that differentiate the great project managers. Soft skills are the capability that helps us engage our team and manage our stakeholders. Our people and leadership skills are like the oil that makes the ‘cogs’ of our technical training move and work together smoothly. And there is nothing soft about them. These skills can be hard to acquire and even more challenging to put into practice. So what are the soft skills that elevate a project manager’s performance and how do we learn them? This event explored soft skills for project management and encouraged participants to share their experience. Benefits of attending – learn and network

APM event hosted by the Midlands Branch on 13 March 2024.
Speaker: Stevan Jackson
Kangchenjunga (8586m / 28,169ft) in remote North-eastern Nepal is the world’s third highest mountain. It is rarely climbed as it has no easy routes, all its faces are objectively dangerous and its ridges long and hard. This event was held on 13 March 2024.
In 2000 Stevan Jackson led only the second British expedition to climb the South-West face (Yalung face) since the very first ascent in 1955. This has not been repeated since. He was subsequently involved in the British Everest West Ridge Expedition, 2006.
This presentation offered several benefits to project managers at all levels:
1. Learning from Extreme Environments: Project managers can gain insights into leading & managing projects in extreme and unpredictable environments. Lessons learned from high-altitude mountaineering are often applicable to the business world, especially in terms of risk management, contingency planning, and decision-making under pressure.
2. Risk Management Skills: The challenges faced during such expeditions are enormous and involve significant risk. Understanding how these risks were assessed, managed, and mitigated can provide valuable lessons in risk management for any project.
3. Team Dynamics and Leadership: High-altitude expeditions require strong leadership and effective team dynamics. Project managers can learn about building, leading, and motivating teams, especially in challenging and high-stakes situations.
4. Adaptability and Problem-Solving: Such expeditions often encounter unforeseen challenges, requiring quick thinking and adaptability. Learning how the expedition leader navigated these challenges can provide project managers with strategies for problem-solving and adapting to changing circumstances in their projects.
5. Project Planning and Execution: Mountaineering expeditions involve meticulous planning and precise execution, like complex projects in the business world. Project managers can learn about planning strategies, resource allocation, and execution tactics.
6. Resilience and Perseverance: Lessons in resilience and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity can be incredibly inspiring and applicable to the project management world, especially for managing long and challenging projects.
7. Prince 2 Methodology Insights: With the speaker being Prince 2 qualified, attendees can gain specific insights into this widely recognized PM methodology, which can be particularly beneficial for beginners or those looking to formalise their project management skills.
8. Networking and Inspiration: Attending such a presentation provides an opportunity to network with other professionals and be inspired by a leader who has achieved remarkable feats in both mountaineering and project management.

There is extensive research on the benefits of embracing workplace diversity that leads to higher project and organisational performance. Simply focussing on recruiting a diverse workforce is not enough to expect that people will automatically collaborate, connect, resolve conflicts, or innovate as a cohesive unit. To generate exceptional outcomes, people need to work in an inclusive atmosphere where they can belong, contribute and thrive.
Studies show a profound connection between inclusive leadership and employee experiences of inclusion that result in employees feeling more valued, trusted, authentic, and psychologically safe at work.
As a project professional, you will need to develop competencies to lead your team inclusively to attain the results that your project and organisation requires.
This webinar on Tuesday 5 March discussed inspiring inclusion within projects and programmes, with practical tools and tips that you can implement to improve your inclusive leadership skills to support diverse recruitment and retention strategies.

APM webinar hosted by the North West Branch on 28 February 2024.
Speaker - Ruth Wallsgrove
This webinar was on Asset Management for Project Managers, by a leading AM trainer and advisor who works with the UK IPA and others on how to incorporate whole life thinking into design and construction projects. This webinar was held on 28 February 2024.
Decisions made during inception, design and delivery of projects can have significant impacts future operating and maintenance cost, and overall return in on investment.
Typically project costs only represent 10 to 20% of the total cost of an asset through its life time but are often the main focus in investment decisions.
Considering return on investment, how do we practically take into account the total cost of ownership – when the operation and maintenance of physical assets may cost many times the original construction cost? How do we optimise what we design for operability, maintainability and reliability, when getting any of those wrong only make the lifecycle more expensive and risky? How is Asset Management crucially different from but complementary to what we already do?

APM event hosted by the Midlands Branch on 13 March 2024.
Speaker: Stevan Jackson
Kangchenjunga (8586m / 28,169ft) in remote North-eastern Nepal is the world’s third highest mountain. It is rarely climbed as it has no easy routes, all its faces are objectively dangerous and its ridges long and hard. This event was held on 13 March 2024.
In 2000 Stevan Jackson led only the second British expedition to climb the South-West face (Yalung face) since the very first ascent in 1955. This has not been repeated since. He was subsequently involved in the British Everest West Ridge Expedition, 2006.
This presentation offered several benefits to project managers at all levels:
1. Learning from Extreme Environments: Project managers can gain insights into leading & managing projects in extreme and unpredictable environments. Lessons learned from high-altitude mountaineering are often applicable to the business world, especially in terms of risk management, contingency planning, and decision-making under pressure.
2. Risk Management Skills: The challenges faced during such expeditions are enormous and involve significant risk. Understanding how these risks were assessed, managed, and mitigated can provide valuable lessons in risk management for any project.
3. Team Dynamics and Leadership: High-altitude expeditions require strong leadership and effective team dynamics. Project managers can learn about building, leading, and motivating teams, especially in challenging and high-stakes situations.
4. Adaptability and Problem-Solving: Such expeditions often encounter unforeseen challenges, requiring quick thinking and adaptability. Learning how the expedition leader navigated these challenges can provide project managers with strategies for problem-solving and adapting to changing circumstances in their projects.
5. Project Planning and Execution: Mountaineering expeditions involve meticulous planning and precise execution, like complex projects in the business world. Project managers can learn about planning strategies, resource allocation, and execution tactics.
6. Resilience and Perseverance: Lessons in resilience and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity can be incredibly inspiring and applicable to the project management world, especially for managing long and challenging projects.
7. Prince 2 Methodology Insights: With the speaker being Prince 2 qualified, attendees can gain specific insights into this widely recognized PM methodology, which can be particularly beneficial for beginners or those looking to formalise their project management skills.
8. Networking and Inspiration: Attending such a presentation provides an opportunity to network with other professionals and be inspired by a leader who has achieved remarkable feats in both mountaineering and project management.

There is extensive research on the benefits of embracing workplace diversity that leads to higher project and organisational performance. Simply focussing on recruiting a diverse workforce is not enough to expect that people will automatically collaborate, connect, resolve conflicts, or innovate as a cohesive unit. To generate exceptional outcomes, people need to work in an inclusive atmosphere where they can belong, contribute and thrive.
Studies show a profound connection between inclusive leadership and employee experiences of inclusion that result in employees feeling more valued, trusted, authentic, and psychologically safe at work.
As a project professional, you will need to develop competencies to lead your team inclusively to attain the results that your project and organisation requires.
This webinar on Tuesday 5 March discussed inspiring inclusion within projects and programmes, with practical tools and tips that you can implement to improve your inclusive leadership skills to support diverse recruitment and retention strategies.

Content description:
A new competence framework that applies to the management of projects in the built environment has been launched, following changes in the recently introduced Building Safety Act.
Introduced in response to learnings from the Grenfell Tower tragedy, this new framework will have significant implications for project professionals working in the built environment. APM is proud to have worked alongside RICS and CIOB in shaping these changes, to ensure project professionals have a clear understanding of how safer buildings can be created.
This webinar explored what these changes mean for project professionals and what they need to do next.Discussing the new Competence Framework for project managers in the built env...

APM webinar hosted by the North West Branch on 28 February 2024.
Speaker - Ruth Wallsgrove
This webinar was on Asset Management for Project Managers, by a leading AM trainer and advisor who works with the UK IPA and others on how to incorporate whole life thinking into design and construction projects. This webinar was held on 28 February 2024.
Decisions made during inception, design and delivery of projects can have significant impacts future operating and maintenance cost, and overall return in on investment.
Typically project costs only represent 10 to 20% of the total cost of an asset through its life time but are often the main focus in investment decisions.
Considering return on investment, how do we practically take into account the total cost of ownership – when the operation and maintenance of physical assets may cost many times the original construction cost? How do we optimise what we design for operability, maintainability and reliability, when getting any of those wrong only make the lifecycle more expensive and risky? How is Asset Management crucially different from but complementary to what we already do?
