APM welcome from CEO
The main conference objective was to promote the Project Management profession with interaction between project practitioners, APM Corporate members, current project management students, academia and all who have an interest in projects.
Reinventing project management antonio nieto-rodriguez. 27th may 2021PMIUKChapter
In the next five years, the world will see more projects than ever. The reconstruction of the economy, healthcare, social care, and society at large, after the devastating global pandemic crisis, will be unprecedented in human history. According to McKinsey Governments’ have announced $10 trillion in reconstruction funds just in the first two months of the crisis, which is three times more than the response to the 2008–09 financial crisis.
We are witnessing the rise of projects as the main unit of work, as well as the essential model to deliver change and create value for individuals, organizations, and society at large. The move from a world driven by efficiency to a world driven by the change will have enormous consequences in terms of strategies, culture, organisational structure, competencies, compensations, etc.
Yet, today, about 70% of projects and strategies fail to deliver their objectives. We urgently need to step up and significantly increase the project and strategy implementation success rate. Considering that every year approximately 48 trillion US dollars are invested in projects, we fail to deliver trillions of benefits, value, and impact in organizations and society at large.
To achieve this incredible goal, project management and project managers will need to reinvent themselves into strategy implementation professionals, ... you will find out all the details during Antonio's keynote.
Talking points agenda:
Why Project Management rules the world?
Why the demand for project professionals is extremely high?
Change through innovation in the form of project
The evident Question: Why managing projects is so Hard?
Learning objectives:
Through this session you will understand and learn the importance of soft skills rather than methodologies as well as “Balancing Project Management Hard Skills and Soft Skills.”
Invensis Learning, a premier training and certification organization that provides widely-recognized project management certification courses decided to understand what could be the Project Management trends for 2019. As a training and certification provider, we wanted to clearly understand from the industry experts as to where the project management domain was heading towards and how could we address the gaps if there were any.
As managing ESG and sustainability issues have become mainstream business practice, there is no doubt in the minds of corporate leaders that ESG/sustainability issues should be a top priority agenda in boardrooms. However, it is still challenging to integrate ESG/sustainability considerations fully into business practices due to the difference between short-term financial goals and longer-term ESG/sustainability performance. Thus, top executives usually give weight to the shorter-term financial metrics when trade-offs between financial and ESG/sustainability performance come into focus. How can companies achieve short-term profits and ESG/sustainability goals at the same time?

This presentation discusses emerging trends in PMO governance and addresses three domains: the Portfolio Management Office, Program Management Office and Project Management Office.
Over the course of my career, I’ve sat on a number of small-company boards. Looking back, it would have been nice if the managing directors had a baseline dashboard they could riff off of so as not to waste so much time on dash boarding.
So the purpose of this document is to offer a baseline template dashboard that a start-up firm could use to update the board of directors. All the data would need to be filled in with real data, of course. And, the dashboard would have to be customized to meet the reporting requirements and operational uniqueness of the business. That said, baselines can save time and spark thought-threads.
Remember that reporting should be for the sake of strategic enlightenment and to drive transparent discussions, and not for the sake of reporting.
If anyone out there has some additional points of data they use effectively in their small-business management reporting , I’d love to hear about it!

Antonio Bonanni
Nel mondo del Project Management, il tema del PMO ormai ricopre un ruolo sempre più centrale per le aziende più lungimiranti e non. Ci sono dei contesti e degli ambiti però, che più di altri offrono enormi opportunità di sfruttamento delle grandi potenzialità che un Project Management Office possiede.
In questo intervento vorrei presentarvi un caso particolare che esprime ciò. In un contesto professionale giovane, multinazionale, in forte crescita, meritocratico e volto ad attività di consulenza in ambiti e settori di business molto diversi tra loro, ho ideato una struttura di PMO in grado di massimizzare le potenzialità individuali e di gruppo. Un PMO in grado di liberare la massima potenzialità della stessa organizzazione fondendo le caratteristiche dello stesso PMO con le esperienze multidisciplinari che l’organizzazione vive quotidianamente, impattando cosi sulla velocita e la qualità di crescita dell’individuo e garantendo ai clienti un servizio maggiormente efficace e soddisfacente.
Una struttura inedita di PMO, ideata e pensata ad hoc, ed inoltre inclusiva di uno dei concetti forse poco sfruttati dai più ancora: la Maturità di Project Management.
Il mondo non ha improvvisamente bisogno di un numero maggiore di progetti. Questi hanno sempre permeato la storia dell’umanità. Il mondo ha più bisogno di Project Management, perché il mondo è diventato più rapido nell’imporci nuovi cambiamenti e noi uomini dobbiamo divenire più efficienti nello spendere le nostre energie mentali per rimanere al passo.

APM Thames Valley branch and Governance Specific Interest Group
by Martin Samphire and Miles Dixon
This Workshop summarizes the reasons that modern project management (PM) is important to all enterprises today, in the highly competitive environment of this digital, Internet Age.
The requirements to achieve these important benefits are discussed, and the concept that PM is a core competency required of all executives is presented
Programs and projects are of great importance to all banking, insurance, industry, governmental and other organizations.
They are the means by which companies, especially when delivering complex, advanced products or systems to their customers, earn a major share of their profit.
In all these various organizations there are a growing recognition that although many projects apparently exist within the organization they are often poorly understood and frequently not properly managed.
More organizations are now recognizing these facts, and more are approaching the management of these growth steps using proven project management principles and practices.
Essentially all enterprises realize their long range growth strategies through the creation, planning, and execution of unique efforts that we call projects.
In order for any enterprise to properly, effectively, and prudently manage their future growth, modern project management principles and practices must be applied.
Thus the application of these practices, methods, systems and tools is of great importance to every enterprise today.
The project management discipline is not anymore a separate management profession but rather it is a core competency that all executives must have in this Internet Age. It should be a way of life for all professionals.
The art and science of project management will continue to evolve, in particular with more complete project life cycle management, with closer linkage to the organization’s strategic management, with more specialization in life cycle models and individual certification.

Speakers: Chris Drysdale and Peter Huggett
An interactive session discussing how Project Managers can identify mental health symptoms, provide tools to help themselves and others, plus also increase the capabilities of the Project Management function. This webinar was held on 14 May 2024.
The covid-19 pandemic led to concerns about a worsening of mental health & wellbeing across the world and increased awareness in both society and the workplace. This webinar looks to advise the benefits of having a Mental Health First Aid function in the workplace whilst also providing tools and techniques that can be readily used and applied to yourself and colleagues. Additionally, there are wider benefits to Project Management which will be proposed and discussed.

“I’m a Project Manager”.
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.

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.
AI in the project profession: examples of current use and roadmaps to adoption webinar

Content description:
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 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.
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.

The project profession is not yet seen
universally as a profession in its own right
• Trial by media (project failure)
• Project success is rarely deemed newsworthy…
Public
• Project management does not have an equivalent status to other
strategic professions (HR, marketing, finance)
• MBA programmes fail to recognise projects as strategy delivery
(project management is too often an elective)
• BAU:change ratio lends itself to the projectification of leadership
roles, but buy-in from leaders remains low
