This document discusses creativity and problem-solving in project management. It is authored by Tom Taylor, who leads several organizations. The document provides examples of common problems that arise in projects and suggests techniques for managers to consider when facing issues. These techniques range from taking no action to delegating the problem or cultivating a culture where creativity is valued. The author concludes that thinking may not be the key to creativity and that wisdom may be a better approach for managing projects and teams.

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. The main objective of our presentation was to enable thought and ideas from the volunteer’s community on how best to work with the Enabling Change SIG. 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.

Are we too busy with the urgent to focus on the important?

Association for Project Management

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

Dissecting open innovation

Association for Project Management

John Underhill presents on implementing agile project management processes for heavy engineering design projects at Babcock International Group. He discusses adopting agile techniques like sprints and prioritizing highest risks to better manage uncertainty, scope changes, and measure progress. Key aspects of their approach include identifying risks each sprint to focus resources, maintaining a task list to track progress, and using metrics like a "saw tooth" graph to demonstrate risk reduction over time. Initial results show benefits like empowered teams, informed stakeholders, faster decisions, and assurance of steady design progress.

Delivering change in Scotland’s busiest airport

The document summarizes key points about culture and strategy at Edinburgh Airport. It discusses how developing an inclusive culture that engages employees can help ensure success more than strategy alone. Facts are provided about passenger numbers and awards received by the airport. New investments and airline agreements are noted. The launch of a new brand and logo is described as rooting the airport firmly in Edinburgh. A quote from an employee expresses feeling like part of the solution due to the new culture.

Learning management systems

Association for Project Management

The document discusses how learning is transforming and where it is heading. It provides examples of how learning technologies can support transformation at an organization like Bupa Health & Wellbeing. Bupa implemented a new single system and ways of working, which resulted in improved employee engagement and customer satisfaction. Learning technology has enabled changes in employee behavior, new systems, products, and customer connections. The top tips include understanding learner readiness, aligning technology to business needs, testing extensively, and bringing fun and flexibility to learning.

PMO and Assurance: Skills Funding Agency

Association for Project Management

The PMO at the Skills Funding Agency provides portfolio management, quality assurance, training and other support functions to around 30 projects with an annual budget of £60 million. It faces challenges from organizational restructuring, changing supplier models, and new development approaches. Questions remain about how the PMO can best support change, operate with multiple suppliers, and adapt to more agile development methods.

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.

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.

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.

Collaboration, sharing knowledge and improving delivery within local government

Association for Project Management

On Tuesday 26th November 2013 in the heart of Birmingham ProgM SIG staged “Delivering more 4 less: using programme management to achieve transformational change in times of austerity." The SIG had promised an event that weaved together the four ‘C’s’ theme namely collaboration, change, community and competence, drawing on a wealth of experience from across the public sector. http://bit.ly/progmm4l Merv Wyeth, ProgM Chair introduced the conference by describing how the event had been designed with the intention of providing delegates with a high return on their personal investment – i.e attendance and participation #eventroi. The big idea was that the day should be an enjoyable shared experience that offered an exceptional opportunity for learning, motivation and networking in the field of programme management. Time and space was built into the programme to enable the audience to interrogate (police were present), and otherwise question, speakers. They were also given the opportunity to vote in polls on issues and questions that speakers posed, which offered additional insights into audience perception and sentiment which otherwise would not have been available. The conference offered the chance for Jim Dale to provide a ‘sitrep’ on his ProgM-backed Collaborative Change research namely “Using research to improve the delivery and effectiveness of change programmes and projects” previewed in last month’s show-case webinar. During his presentation Jim provided an update of the story so far, thanked those who had already participated either in an interview or by completing the survey. ProgM would like to extend the opportunity to all those currently, or previously, involved in programme management and related collaborative activity to participate in this important Collaborative Change survey. On the day, Steve Wake, newly appointed Chair of APM Board, was available to round-up the proceedings and provide a special vote of thanks to his Board colleagues, the organising committee and our generous sponsors, BMT Hi-Q Sigma. He reminded those present of the ongoing Strategy 2020 initiative of “Listening, learning and leading” that complements events of this type. One delegate (Neil White) wrote “A constant theme, running like a golden thread throughout the day, was that effective programme management is a necessary and complimentary bedfellow of collaboration, and an important ingredient in delivering successful transformational change. Whereas projects are essentially objective and enable the effective development and delivery of ‘products’ (some of which are can be very big products!) it was recognised that programmes are much more subjective and must be sensitive to the environment in which they are operate. Rather than see them as obstacles, programme managers must respect and be prepared to exploit the systems and organisations surrounding them to their mutual benefit.

Overview of APM vision and strategy

Association for Project Management

BIM level 2 is already widely introduced and working. Since every party works in its own system today’s contractual relationships and insurance cover continue to fulfil the requirements. •BIM level 3 is where the big changes are needed, since all parties to a project will have access and edit facilities to all data.This is where FIDIC might have a need to adapt its family of contracts to address the new working environment. Some examples of issues popping up: –Responsibility for cyber security –Liability for incorrect information –Ownership of data –Intellectual property rights –Liability if the information is subsequently used for illegal purposes –integration with new insurance packages BIM integration into FIDIC Contracts

Global Business Intel

The document discusses the City of London Corporation's review of its facilities management contracts and operations. It notes that the review was initially prompted by the need to make efficiencies, but has evolved to focus on developing a more customer-centric service delivery model. The new model aims to (1) prioritize end-user needs, (2) allow flexibility in contracted services, (3) enhance measurement of supplier performance, and (4) define roles more clearly to improve employee satisfaction while meeting business requirements. The review also examined consolidating suppliers but recognized that different approaches may be needed depending on factors like cultural fit and value for money.

darrylbcamp

This document discusses the practical legal considerations of using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for construction projects. It notes that while BIM can provide benefits like improved coordination and reduced costs/delays, current contracts are not drafted with BIM in mind and provide limited guidance. Issues that may need to be addressed when using BIM include responsibilities for the BIM model's integrity, copyrights, responsibilities between design participants, and insurance. Bespoke amendments or a "BIM protocol" may be needed to deal with these new practical and design issues introduced by BIM. Communication between parties is emphasized as important for effective use of BIM.

This document provides an overview of Building Information Modeling (BIM) including definitions of BIM, the benefits of BIM, examples of BIM implementation on projects, and considerations for adopting BIM. It defines BIM as a shared digital representation of a built object that forms a reliable basis for decision making. The benefits discussed include improved design coordination, reduced waste, single source of information for a projects lifecycle. Case studies on education and housing projects demonstrate BIM uses. Implementation requires developing a strategy, selecting pilot projects, understanding learning curves and costs/benefits. Widespread adoption of BIM is an important change for the construction industry.

Soft landings - A persuasive case

BSRIA

This document describes a case study of a building project that initially failed to meet its sustainability and energy efficiency goals due to cost-cutting and lack of proper commissioning, training, and aftercare. The client and design team then implemented the BSRIA Soft Landings process for a subsequent project, which focused on managing performance risks, thorough commissioning, training and user support. This led to improved occupant satisfaction and energy performance compared to the initial building. The document argues that processes like Soft Landings which emphasize operational outcomes can help deliver higher quality, lower cost buildings.

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.
