I am very excited to share that I am contributing a chapter to the ‘Handbook of People in Project Management’. This book will be co-edited by Lindsay Scott and Dennis Lock and published next year. I will be writing about how to develop project management talent from within an organisation; something very close to my heart and the ethos I work with. There are some fantastic contributing authors lined up and its a pleasure to be in such good company.

Also in the diary, I will be leading a Round Table session at the Best Practise Showcase in London on the 17 of June. I’ll be talking about how to turn your PMO from an administrative support function into a Kick-Ass Team. We’ll discuss how to engage senior management and how to demonstrate your value quickly. Round table sessions are interactive discussions – with lots of energy and ideas – a great forum for sharing learnings meeting peers in the project community. 

I attended the Best Practise Showcase last year as a delegate and was mightily impressed with the calibre of sandwiches at the free lunch buffet. Andy Murray’s keynote was also pretty good :)

Hope to see you there!
