Event Description: Think about any change program that you’ve tried to achieve or were a part of. Now think what impact did your culture have on the success of that change? More often than not my clients tell me that their “culture” is holding them back from the changes they want to make in business. The people aren’t engaged and are rejecting the new way of working. Have you thought about how much of that is to do with the individual and how much is systemic? This talk explores the business culture as a living ecosystem and the impact that this system has on the individuals ability to make change in business. Through case studies we explore why change failed and how understanding the ecosystem would have created a different outcome

This is increasingly important at a time when cyber risk is front of mind for many Boards, regulators and risk functions.

Presentation: PMOs and Project Managers: How to co-exist productively and deliver projects successfully

Ever come away from the latest training session in project management or change management excited at first but then not really knowing what to do or how it will be helpful?

Frustrated at not being able to get “pull” from the organisation and/or your team?

Do you catch yourself “telling” rather than “engaging”, “directing” rather than “involving” or, at the other end of the scale, “agreeing” rather than “challenging”?

This presentation outlines PM Frameworks, engagement mechanisms for PMOs and Project Managers together with the human interactions required. It is contended that all businesses are no more than a complex combination of human decisions and activities (in combination with tools and systems) to provide products and/or services. Therefore, this presentation focusses on Human to Human (H2H) interactions to get the best out of people, alignment among decision-makers and engagement of the organisation.
