Leading in difficult and uncertain times: The Battle of Britain, Stephen Carv...Association for Project Management
This document discusses leadership in difficult times using the Battle of Britain as an example. It describes the strategic approaches taken by Hugh Dowding and Keith Park in leading the Royal Air Force's Fighter Command against the German Luftwaffe. Park was able to focus resources effectively and implement an agile defense strategy through clear communication and empowering pilots. This allowed the outnumbered British forces to defeat the Luftwaffe and turn the tide of the battle, demonstrating the importance of having a clear vision, focusing resources, communicating integrated plans, empowering teams, and embracing complexity when leading during a crisis.Goldsworthy stolk wargaming adsa12 v2
Wargaming provides benefits for aviation security training and planning. It allows organizations to learn from mistakes in a structured environment without real-world consequences. Wargaming can be used at strategic, tactical, organizational, and individual levels for various purposes like testing security protocols, identifying risks, and improving decision-making. It is an acceptable way to experience failure during training, which saves lives, money and time compared to learning from failures in operational environments. The document provides examples of how wargaming has been applied in other domains and opportunities for its use in aviation security training and testing.
An introduction to Decision Workshops
Decision Workshops provides tools to help understand, plan, and focus on the politics of decision making. It uses Confrontation Analysis and the Dilemma Explorer software to model complex multi-party issues. The process involves defining the problem, players, and their goals; developing strategies through analysis; testing and refining strategies in workshops; and presenting a clear strategy. The software helps structure decisions, communicate desires, understand dilemmas, and indicate progress through negotiation rehearsals. Decision Workshops has been used in various scenarios including government, military, and business deals.
The Battle Of Britain
The Battle of Britain was a key air battle during World War 2 fought between the British Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe from July to October 1940. It was the first major military defeat for Nazi Germany. Though the Luftwaffe inflicted heavy losses on the RAF during the campaign, the British were able to continue defending their airspace thanks to brave fighter pilots. Hitler's decision to shift the Luftwaffe's targets from RAF airfields to bombing London gave the RAF time to recover. By mid-September the Luftwaffe had failed to gain air superiority over Britain, forcing Hitler to postpone the planned invasion of the UK. The British victory provided a crucial turning point in the war.
Battle of britain
The Battle of Britain was an air battle fought between the German Luftwaffe and the British Royal Air Force in 1940. The Luftwaffe aimed to destroy Britain's air defenses to enable a German invasion, but were unable to gain air superiority due to superior British equipment and the courage of 2,900 pilots who fought against overwhelming odds. Although Churchill played a limited direct military role, his speeches boosted morale. Germany's failure to gain air superiority, combined with British technological advantages like radar, led to Germany abandoning its invasion plans after four months.
Battle of Britain
The document summarizes key events of the Battle of Britain between the German Luftwaffe and British Royal Air Force from July to October 1940. It describes Operation Catapult where the British attacked the French navy to prevent it from falling into German hands. It then discusses early Luftwaffe probing attacks over the English Channel and southern England. On "Eagle Day" the Germans launched massive bombing raids on British air bases, but suffered heavy losses. They then shifted targets to major cities like London in the Blitz, but on September 17th Hitler indefinitely postponed plans for invading Britain and turned towards invading Russia instead.
Battle of Britain
The document summarizes the Battle of Britain between the German Luftwaffe and the British Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1940. It describes how Germany sought to destroy the RAF in preparation for invading Britain. Though outnumbered, the RAF was able to defend Britain through the heroic efforts of its pilots, known as "The Few" by Winston Churchill. The RAF was ultimately victorious, forcing Hitler to abandon plans to invade Britain. However, Germany continued its military campaigns by assisting Italy's invasion of Greece.
Kargil war , 1999
The Kargil War was a conflict between India and Pakistan over control of the Kashmir region that took place in 1999. Over 500 Indian soldiers and 600-4000 Pakistani militants and soldiers were killed in battles like Tiger Hill and Tololing along the Line of Control dividing Kashmir. Pakistan had infiltrated forces into the Indian-controlled side of Kashmir during the winter when patrolling was reduced. India discovered the infiltration and launched operations to push the Pakistani forces back. Fighting ceased on July 26 after India regained control of the border posts, marking Kargil Vijay Divas in India. The war highlighted ongoing tensions over Kashmir between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

Knowledge SIG conference
Creativity - does this involve thinking?
This document discusses creativity and problem-solving techniques for project managers. It is authored by Tom Taylor, who leads several organizations. The document outlines 18 techniques project managers can use when facing problems on projects, such as defining the problem, asking others for input, brainstorming solutions, and establishing a process to reach a solution. It emphasizes that thinking may not be the key to creativity and suggests wisdom may be a better approach to managing projects and teams.
Ngaging your team for success
The document discusses an engagement workshop led by Nick Fewings on leading change effectively. It provides information on the workshop content which includes discussions on leadership skills needed for change, psychological preferences, colour personalities, team dynamics assessment, stakeholder engagement strategies, and conducting a team excellence audit. Examples of workshop activities involve measuring personality preferences with colours, assessing team average scores, and evaluating areas of a team over multiple runs. The workshop aims to help organizations achieve greater success by engaging individuals, motivating teams, and enabling transformation.
Are we too busy with the urgent to focus on the important?
This was a thought provoking talk on project leadership that is aimed to help one to lead oneself and others more effectively in a project context.
In this talk, Susanne Madsen discussed the differences between management and leadership and how it relates to a project manager. Delegates learned to avoid fire fighting, unhappy clients and project failure and instead use the project they are currently working on to propel themselves to the next level.
Through powerful strategies, Susanne showed how one can increase performance, become a project leader, and differentiate oneself from the competition.
No matter one's role or level of experience there were powerful lessons to be learned from this talk:
Understanding the differences between management and leadership
Applying the strategies that will make you a project leader
Building effective relationships with stakeholders
Building a highly motivated team
Continuously improving and innovating
Expanding comfort zones
Asking for feedback
Focussing on the 20% of activities that add to 80% of results
Designing projects for success by Tim Banfield
The document discusses factors that influence successful project delivery. It identifies five key factors: initiating projects strategically; understanding stakeholders and their influence; managing expectations and risks appropriately; having strong working relationships across the delivery chain; and defining success in terms of outcomes and benefits, not just outputs. It also provides examples of both successful (London 2012 Olympics) and challenged (UK mobile policing) projects to illustrate lessons learned.
APM Four seasons of risk - Scotland: Identification
The document discusses dimensions of risk identification for projects. It recommends starting identification top-down using prompt lists and a few complementary techniques. Identification should consider the project context and boundaries. Risks should be grouped by similar ownership and cause. Identification should occur early, including during the bid phase, and be repeated at later stages. Case studies demonstrate how considering environmental factors through PESTLE analysis could have avoided issues related to resource costs, interface requirements, and regulatory accessibility.
Leading change effectively - right people right result
The document discusses a client briefing for a project team consulting engagement. The team had 30 multi-cultural members experiencing cultural issues, no clear leadership, siloed work, poor communication, and low morale. Through a team development process using personality assessments and team audits, the consulting helped the team break down barriers, establish clear leadership, improve communication, clarify goals, and boost morale. A follow up found the cultural issues resolved and the project back on track.

Knowledge management and social business
This document discusses KM and social business at Faithful+Gould, a multinational cost and project management consultancy. It describes Faithful+Gould's journey from static internal content to connecting internally and externally through social media. It defines different types of network connections like strong ties within organizations and weak ties between organizations. It notes how social technologies now allow connections beyond immediate networks and organizations through latent ties. It discusses implications like organizations needing to recognize social media's productivity and support employees' external connections with good social media policies.
Stephen carver fear of flying presentation
This document discusses leadership in difficult times using the Battle of Britain as an example. It describes the RAF's approach led by Hugh Dowding and Keith Park which involved having a clear strategy, focusing resources, using radar effectively, communicating integrated tactics, and empowering pilots. Their leadership embraced complexity and risk, bending rules when needed, and was credited with saving the country. The document advocates for leaders in uncertain times to have a vision, do more with less, turn on systems to gain information, and empower and communicate with their team.
Project drift refresh detroit
This document discusses strategies for predicting and mitigating project risk. It introduces the concept of "project drift," where a project moves off its desired course due to unforeseen issues. The document advocates calculating a "drift score" for each project by assessing the probability and impact of potential risks and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. Specific risks that could cause drift are identified, such as delays, budget overruns, and unavailable resources. The document provides tips for communicating risks to stakeholders and strategies for risk management, such as risk acceptance, avoidance, reduction, and transfer. The overall message is that anticipating and planning for risks can help reduce project drift and ensure projects stay on track.

Organizational disasters, studies show, rarely have a single cause. Rather, they are initiated by the unexpected interaction of multiple small, often seemingly unimportant, human errors, technological failures, or bad business decisions. These latent errors combine with enabling conditions to produce a significant failure. Catherine H. Tinsley, Robin L. Dillon, and Peter M. Madsen suggest 7 strategies to recognize and prevent near miss

Content description:
Most project professionals have found themselves on a project where success looks unlikely, yet nobody does anything about it. Why is this? Flagging up that a project is heading for failure is typically a career limiting move - the messenger bringing the bad news get blamed.
This panel delivered webinar on Tuesday 6 September 2022 explored a simple approach to how we, as project professionals, can flag up the need for changes to projects (or even killing them), in a way that avoids being blamed personally.
This approach can be used in any context where stakeholders don’t want to hear changes are vital.
Getting commitment to reshaping or killing a failing project without the messenger being killed.Bruce Keightley - Flying and Fighting: Agile Aircraft - Agile Team
Mention the word ‘military’ and what springs to mind? Regimented, disciplined, trained groups of people who do what they are told and follow orders? What could they possibly teach us about Agile?
Bruce will take you through an approach that the air force used to tap into the skills of small, highly motivated and successful teams to develop winning tactics – tactics that allowed them to win against adversaries with newer, more manoeuvrable aircraft equipped with more powerful engines, better radars and longer range weapons.

This document provides an overview of a three-part training program on strategic risk management. Part One focuses on introducing participants to risk management processes and frameworks. It discusses principles of risk management and why strategic risk management is important. Tools covered include a risk inventory template to identify, assess and prioritize risks, and a risk heat map. The training aims to help participants understand their roles in risk management and how to implement strategic risk management in their work areas.
Optimism will sink a project
The document analyzes how optimism can negatively impact project success by examining case studies of project failures and successes. It discusses how the sinking of the Titanic and explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger were due to overly optimistic attitudes that ignored warnings. In contrast, the successful water landings of US Airways Flight 1549 and Qantas Flight QF32 demonstrated realistic assessments of risk. The document advocates for practices like "project pre-mortems" to counter optimism and improve failure avoidance, such as identifying potential problems early.
Leadership Competencies for VUCA World
The document discusses leadership challenges in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world. It outlines how volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity impact organizations and require new leadership skills. These include translating data into information, clear communication, flexibility, collaboration, diversity, vision, direction, and comfort with ambiguity. Successful leadership in a VUCA world demands qualities like clarity, learning agility, rapid prototyping, and creating shared understanding.

If AI changes everything – do feelings still matter?
APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024.
Speaker: Carole Osterweil
Data is power. AI changes everything.
If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings?
In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions.
“We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact.
One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime.
The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!”
This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022.
You’ll come away with:
a clear understanding of how the human brain works.
a framework that:
explains ‘why people behave as they do’.
makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set)
new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder.
Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession.
To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals.
This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.Katharine Fox, WRAP - Valuing sustainability
Katharine works for WRAP which is a climate action NGO working in more than 40 countries around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future. In this session, you will learn about WRAP’s plastics programme and how sustainability has been incorporated as a core value in delivery of the programme, with the aim of inspiring the audience to take action in their own work.
The silent project disruptor: Building AI solutions
Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology.
However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button.
Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt.
Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering:
What do I need to know about AI right now?
If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful?
Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare?
Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
