Bim presentation Belfast 13th September 2016

Association for Project Management

BIM aims to improve construction through collaborative design, reducing errors and costs. Legal issues include allocating design liability, insuring risks, and determining intellectual property ownership of BIM models. At Level 2, traditional responsibilities likely remain unchanged, but Level 3's fully integrated process requires protocols to clarify liability if a model is corrupted. Contracts may need amendments for insurances, copyright, and database rights regarding model inputs and outputs. As BIM adoption increases toward Level 3, clear guidelines are still needed around allocating these legal implications.

Ahead of the curve PMO - Mark Walsh

Association for Project Management

The document discusses how PMOs and status reporting need to change to keep up with modern information consumption habits. It notes that status reports and PMO information are often overloaded and not tailored to what stakeholders actually need or want. It advocates moving to a real-time, on-demand model where relevant updates are easily accessible to interested parties, rather than periodic large reports sent to wide distributions. This would better reflect how people now access information online and on social networks. The document also suggests improving information management practices within PMOs and programs to support collecting and reporting data in a real-time, ongoing manner.

Coping with disruptive change a new approach to project planning

Association for Project Management

Coping with disruptive change with Steve Beaumont held in the Holiday Inn Notts Derby on 18th February 2016. The only constant is Change. Change is happening in every market, faster and more disruptively than ever before. A business must have the flexibility and agility to adapt to changing business conditions. As the pace of change accelerates the organisations are not adapting quickly.The volume, complexity, and urgency of change is increasing  Programmes are not responding appropriately

Peeling back the covers on government programmes, Richard Bacon MP

Association for Project Management

Richard Bacon MP for South Norfolk and successful author of ‘Conundrum: Why every government gets things wrong and what we can do about it’ was the guest speaker at highly entertaining and informative ProgM event held in Central London. Securing Richard’s attendance was a coup for ProgM. Merv Wyeth (ProgM Chair) confessed that the evening represented the culmination of months of stalking and some mild harassment to ensure the committee ‘got their man’. Steve Wake, Chair of APM Board, introduced the evening with a personal story about the seminal Committee of Public Accounts, Eighth Report “The Proper Conduct of Public Business,” that had started him out on the road of earned value. This set the context for Richard to explain what, if anything, had changed in twenty years! Richard did not ‘pull his punches’ and his early assessment of the consequences of failed major projects was uncompromising: “Don’t be surprised, he told the assembled, if what you end up with: • is a mess that is way behind schedule, • damages your organization, • traumatizes your staff, • costs much more than it is supposed to, • and doesn’t work! As a member of the highly influential House of Commons Public Accounts Committee Richard has been exposed to the full range of major project horror stories. While Richard’s focus was on the really big projects that cost the most and carry the greatest risk, his advice is equally applicable to those smaller scale projects, that many of us have personal experience of, and, irritatingly, somehow have an uncanny habit of achieving a sub optimal outcome. Richard’s assessment of the causes of failure reveals the same olde problems with which we are all familiar: • very high staff turnover • lack of information • lack of knowledge about costs and sloppy financial management • lack of key skills • poor project management • lack of procurement capability • risk aversion and risk ignorance. So why do we get it wrong, seemingly again and again? Richard’s answer lies in human nature - “it’s behavior stupid’’ … Get this right and then we are on the way to successful delivery. Yet, and here is the ‘conundrum’, while senior managers handle and live comfortably with ambiguity successful project managers are programmed to nail down scope at the earliest possible stage.

Use of lean metrics apm 170216 slides to share

Association for Project Management

The document summarizes the use of Lean techniques by Natural Resources Wales to improve the management of flood defence projects. Key issues causing delays were identified through root cause analysis including long approval times. Metrics were collected and analyzed, finding that changes in 2013 increased delays from -0.4 to 10.2 weeks on average. Improvements to approvals processes and supplier management reduced delays. Further work is still needed as approvals remain the top cause of delay. Lean techniques like risk forecasting and justifying programs can continue improving project timelines.

New SIG on the block

Association for Project Management

The newly established APM Enabling Change SIG present at the APM Volunteers forum. The SIG bid for a community session slot at the forum to make the most of the opportunity to engage with the wider APM Branch and SIG communities.

A workshop was held where answers to the following three questions were invited: How could the Enabling Change SIG help branch or SIG members achieve their goals? How could your branch or SIG contribute to the success of the Enabling Change SIG? What Change Management challenges do you face in your work? The results of this workshop will be used to inform future objectives and ways of working. A report on the findings will be issued in due course.

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.

Before we count the bricks we cost plan

Association for Project Management

A cost plan or budget is a key document in the scheme development process. The protocol has been developed as a design manual rather than outlining a rigid prescriptive format. Advising cost and associated information in a form that allows management decisions by client or others is fundamental. DBK cost planners are encouraged to approach any exercise with "client eyes" and tailor the format accordingly.

Introducing benefits management by David Waller, Keldale

Association for Project Management

This document discusses lessons learned from implementing benefits management in healthcare organizations. It provides examples of challenges encountered, such as lack of health-specific examples, difficulty balancing stakeholder needs, and pressure to justify existing plans rather than enable radical change. Effective benefits management requires resources for enablers rather than just identifying them as limiting factors. While some local groups adapted the tools quickly, broader training efforts were difficult. The application of existing knowledge could significantly improve healthcare outcomes.

“From Stressed to Flourishing - simple ways leaders can transform wellbeing and outcomes at work” The insatiable demand to get more from less, is producing worrying levels of stress in organisations. At least two recent reports reveal that stress is the major cause of sickness absenteeism, and that it is increasing; furthermore, there is disturbing evidence that stress among HR professionals is high. We must find a better way of coping which does not damage the very human spirit required to meet the challenges of serving our communities. The great news is that research has identified simple, common-sense leadership behaviours that, practised with authenticity, enable our people not just to survive, but to flourish!

That’s often what we tell family, friends and peers when asked what we do. But is it really a fair description? It may well be our role title, but it probably doesn’t convey a lot of what we actually do. This presentation and discussion is about going beyond the frameworks, processes and stereotypes associated with project management and exploring the leadership roles we all in fact perform. “I provide leadership focused on delivering projects and change for organisations”

If AI changes everything – do feelings still matter?

Association for Project Management

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.

The silent project disruptor: Building AI solutions

Association for Project Management

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.
