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

Preparing to fail by failing to prepare, 25th feb, london

Association for Project Management

The document discusses the challenges of delivering major infrastructure projects in the UK through mega or giga projects. It notes that these large-scale projects typically go over budget and fail to create promised value due to their complexity, long timelines, and many stakeholders with differing interests. The document advocates for more collaborative, relational contracting approaches to better manage risks from emergence and complexity, rather than the traditional risk transfer approach, but notes relational contracting has seen limited adoption. It summarizes research interviewing practitioners, lawyers, financiers, and policymakers, finding power imbalances, lack of trust, and short-term decision-making have inhibited the wider use of relational contracting for major projects.

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.

How to be in the top 10% of programme managers: Patrick Mayfield

Association for Project Management

This document appears to be a presentation about project management skills and development. It includes photos and quotes from project managers. Some key points discussed are the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition, spending time on proactive vs reactive activities, developing personal margins and awareness, and engaging with others to expand learning and adaptability. The presentation recommends activities like reading, observation, volunteering, and networking to help achieve a top 10% ranking. It concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact information.

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.

NorthConnect - delivering Scotland’s sustainable future

Association for Project Management

NorthConnect aims to connect the power grids of Scotland and Norway through a subsea cable to help Scotland achieve its renewable energy goals. The project supports the European vision of a more connected and sustainable energy market by allowing Scotland to export wind power to Norway for hydroelectric storage and later reimport it. This would help Scotland meet its targets of powering domestic consumption entirely from renewables by 2020 and generating 20 gigawatts of continuous renewable energy. The interconnection would also improve energy security, sustainability, market integration, and reduce price fluctuations for both countries.

Transport Oriented Development – from Strategy to Implementation

Association for Project Management

1. Developing integrated solutions from the start is important for TOD projects as they are complex and take a long time to deliver. 2. TOD projects must include requirements of other sectors as early as possible to reduce costs of changes later on. 3. Computer modeling and analysis of passenger movement patterns are used to optimize transport planning, identify potential congestion issues, and maximize commercial opportunities in TOD developments.

Arabian nights, a desert experience

Association for Project Management

The document describes a project to turn around a struggling multicultural project team of 30 people working in the desert. The Colour Works was brought in to address issues like cultural barriers, a lack of clear leadership, siloed work and poor communication. Over two days, they used tools like personality assessments, team diagnostics and goal setting exercises. This helped the team better understand each other, improve communication and collaboration, and clarify their vision and goals. As a result, cultural issues were resolved, leadership was identified, barriers were removed, and morale improved. The client later reported the team was more effective, communication was better, and their project was back on track due to The Colour Works' intervention.

This document provides information about the Association for Project Management's (APM) Registered Project Professional (RPP) program. It outlines the requirements and process for becoming an RPP, including demonstrating competence in core project management areas through qualifications, experience, and a portfolio of evidence.

Creativity - Does this involve thinking?

Association for Project Management

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.

The Evolving Bicycle Ecosystem Around Suburban Communities

Jonathon Geels

The US is experiencing a dramatic rise in cities and the amenities that attract people to them. At the same time, however, Bedroom Communities still dominate the landscape and play an important role in the success of the region as a whole. Their location around the periphery of cities puts a strain on county budgets statewide: in how to fund and maintain infrastructure projects, while continuing to focus on safety, and ensure a high quality of life. As we see active living efforts connect people to cities and their amenities, the transition of these bedroom communities in taking on more urban qualities will play an important role in the success of broad active transportation networks.

I would like to start off by thanking the R.I Rotaract Institute organising Committee for a job well done in the recently concluded Seminar. The planning was definitely strenuous but the fruits of it were the happy faces of more than 150 Rotaractors and Interactors who came. I was impressed that the various Interactors who came in for the Seminar were eager to learn about the workings of Interact, Rotaract and Rotary. This was evident in their coming early and the questions they asked. I must thank the Rotaractors present for making them feel comfortable enough as the sessions were progressing. My take on this is that there is hope in our working with the Interactors…

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.
