Louder Than Ten is a Vancouver-based Project Management Training and Consulting company. L>10 was founded by Rachel and Travis Gertz, and for the past 14 years, everything they have done has been centered around fostering healthy and humane ways of working together and managing projects. There aren't many organizations in the digital agency space that have taken the time to develop their own project management manifesto. It is truly a unique place and now, as they do, Rachel and Travis have cranked up the volume just a scosche higher by converting their company into a Worker Owned Cooperative. This means that folks who have been working with them for a long time (like Abby Fretz: https://on.soundcloud.com/H6TJq) as well as new employees who join Louder than Ten will have an option to purchase a stake in the company and become an equal partner. This is a far cry from the sweatshop grind-it-out approach that many agencies take and it is definitely unique in the context of what is happening in the field of project management today. In this episode of the podcast, Rachel and Travis join me to talk about what led to this decision, why they made it, and what it means for the future of Louder Than Ten.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe welcomed Fabio Zaffagnini and Claudia Spadoni from Rockin' 1000. Fabio and his team are the founders of the global movement and sensation Rockin' 1000 which brings together 1000 musicians to perform concerts. The first concert for Rockin' 1000 was a viral video calling for the Foo Fighters to play a concert in their small hometown of Cesena, Italy.Project Management Office Hours is a show about the people and projects in project management from around the world. We've talked with people from all the continents discussing war, family, history, projects, careers, neuroscience and so many different topics over 115 shows. Each show was a fantastic experience to listen and learn, but there has been 1 guest PMO Joe has been chasing for years…Fabio and the Rockin' 1000 team.If you haven't seen the video you are missing out and you must join the over 61 million viewers who have experienced the passion, excitement, purpose, and emotions from this call to action - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JozAmXo2bDE&list=RDJozAmXo2bDEFabio shares the origin story for the video, “So I live in a very small town in Italy, it's called Cesena, and I'm a Foo Fighters fan. And at some point I really wanted Foo Fighters to come and play in my hometown.” He added, “So in order to convince them, I needed something crazy to make some sort of crazy request. So one day this idea popped out in my mind and I had this feeling that if we put on a sort of tribute to the band, the biggest tribute ever made, probably Dave Grohl would have been convinced to come over and play a gig. So I had this idea of asking 1000 musicians to perform altogether simultaneously in a park, one of their songs that was Learn to Fly. And this idea in the beginning was something that I just had, but as days went by, it turned into sort of obsession, so I could not stop thinking about it.”Claudia and Fabio tell us their story, how they built the biggest Foo Fighters tribute. Asking the Foo Fighters to play a concert for them in Cesena. How do you bring to life a crazy idea like this? With the help of project management, that's how. How do you get it funded? Where do you find 1000 musicians? How do you coordinate equipment, video, audio, food, and drink for so many people to come together to play just one song? It was over a yearlong project and they were able to pull it off!At one point in the video Fabio says, “I've been working on this fucking project for more than one year, waking up every morning thinking about how to make it real and this is all that we've got. One thousand people, one thousand rockers that came from all over the nation at their own expense and they did it for just one song…” How many of you have had that same thought leading your projects? I've been working on this project for over a year, and I keep waking up every morning wondering how it is going to all come together.Connect with Fabio, Claudia and the Rockin' 1000 team: https://www.rockin1000.com/en/To catch up on previous episodes visit the Project Management Office Hours website - https://www.thepmosquad.com/podcasts/project-management-office-hoursThank you to THE PMO SQUAD and The PMO Leader for sponsoring this show.The PMO Squad is a leading provider of PMO and Project Management services in the US.

Lastly, is to shift from command and control, top-down management to leadership and collaboration. Sanjiv stated, “So, in a nutshell, project to product mindset, change large batch to small batch, tracking outcomes towards value, delivery value, not just outputs.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe welcomed Andrea Clinton and Daniel Zitter. Prior to this discussion we all participated in a Workshop using the Project Management Board game led by Daniel. The discussion included lessons learned during the workshop, the benefits of games for learning, the next generation of PMs, as well as the career transition Andrea recently experienced and how her long project management career helped with the change. Andrea Clinton is a career project manager and leader. She has dedicated her expansive 25 year career to the craft of project management. She has worked across industries from education to manufacturing, software development to data center design/build, gaining experience at variety of companies from small start-ups to Fortune 5 companies such as Apple.Daniel Zitter loves project management, and he's happy to tell anyone who will listen! He appreciates the complexities of managing a project. He enjoys discussing it with others and teaching the methodologies, thought processes and how to deal with the questions and challenges that are sure to arise. He is Co-Founder of PM Zone and the Project Management Board game.If you're wondering does playing a board game simulate running a project and what can you learn from the game, here is what Andrea had to say, “As we were working through the program, within our gameplay, if you will, you think that you're going to start working on your tasks and you have them all lined up and you're thinking, what could possibly go wrong? I've got this, this is totally easy. And then before you know it, there's a risk thrown up and you have to stop and address that risk or there's a constraint that comes up and then you have to turn around and go backwards or have to try and borrow resources from somewhere else.” We train our youth with games all the time whether in school, at home, or activities. Gaming helps to break down any barriers which might pop up when you are “supposed to be learning”. The fun and excitement of the gaming workshop allows players, Project Managers, to experience situations and learn together building stronger teams and better situational awareness.Listen to the entire episode to hear the full story from Andrea and Daniel.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe welcomed Milan Dordevic for an in-studio discussion. We get to hear Milan share his story and how he began a career in Project Management spanning many countries and industries. Milan and Joe also discussed Leadership, Certifications, Artificial Intelligence and so much more. Milan is a certified project management expert and leader, author, speaker, and business and technology mentor for high-tech start-ups. His expertise is in complex & remote project and product management, organizational development, and change, all of which he has gained over the course of 15 years. Through dynamic leadership and vision, he is driving business and product innovation, automatization, digitalization, program efficiency, and scaling agility in the organization. Milan has made a big impact in his career and when asked about how did he do so much so quickly he shared, “I was never afraid of doing some project or taking the project or jumping into something that I didn't know I was learning by doing. In the meanwhile, every night I was reading about it, I was enrolling myself, currently in parallel with my family.”When asked about some lessons learned during his experiences Milan shared, “I think the biggest mistake that people, organization do, they read about some methodology, they read about some approach or they hear that one company succeeded because they did it in that way and they want to do the same. So there is one person who succeed. He was doing it the same way and you want to do the same. No, but you are in different industry, you have different products, your story is different. You need to take all those things into consideration and apply to your organization company approach. So you cannot implement. There are probably chances that you will succeed, but there are plenty of approaches, plenty of methodologies, frameworks, and you can select one of them or you can make even better, custom one, select the best from all of them and apply to your organization.

BILL YATES:  Yes, we're celebrating 20 years, a 20-year birthday or... WENDY GROUNDS:  Love birthdays. BILL YATES:  ...anniversary for Velociteach.  That's right, Velociteach started up in September of 2002.  And we just wanted to invite Andy into the studio just to pause and reflect on 20 years of Velociteach, and then ask him some personal questions; you know?  What makes a project manager successful?  What's it like when your project gets canceled?  Tell us about starting a business.  So this will be a fun conversation, just to get inside the brain of Andy Crowe, CEO of Velociteach. WENDY GROUNDS:  And I think he has a lot of great advice for younger project managers or project managers who are struggling.  He has some really good advice.  So take a listen. Behind the Book Hi, Andy.  Welcome back to Manage This. ANDY CROWE:  Thank you.  I'm excited to be here. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah, we're excited to talk with you today.  So Velociteach, it all started with a book.  And writing a book is a huge project.  Could you tell us a bit about your book, “The PMP Exam:  How to Pass on Your First Try,” and your motivation to write it? ANDY CROWE:  You know what, I was motivated because when I read other books I wasn't happy with them.  And they didn't explain things the way I did.  So, you know, certainly there were a lot of resources out there, and people definitely passed the PMP before this.  But it was something that I like to explain things.  I love to write.  I just write a lot regardless.  And so it was a good marriage of things.  As I was going through, I took all of my notes that I had used previously to study for the PMP and kind of put them to use and organized them.  And then it evolved over time. BILL YATES:  I've known you for a while, and I think that's a  natural evolution for you.  That's part of your DNA is you look at something, you go through something personally like the PMP Exam.  And you go, you know what, I think I would have done better if I'd had this, or if.  It makes sense to me that you would go through that, pass the PMP Exam, and then go, you know, I think I could write a book about this. ANDY CROWE:  Well, and also, you know, it was something that, as I'm going through trying to explain things, there were just things that I thought I would love to have stated that differently.  I would love to have explained this a different way.  And so, you know,

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe welcomed Robert Joslin to the show. We get to hear Robert share his story and learn about the founding of AIPMO. Robert and Joe also discussed global associations, industry research, Agile in PMOs and so much more. Robert is a Portfolio/project/program management consultant, professor, and engineer. He has 25 plus years in designing, initiating management delivery of business transformation, reengineering, infrastructure, and strategy development including winning national prizes for ideas and product innovation.Why start AIPMO? “AIPMO stands for the Association of International Project Management Officers. So really the association should be about the individuals rather than the project management office itself. So the O could be officers or office, depending on how you use the term. And the reason I actually set up AIPMO back in 2015 was having worked on projects pretty much all my life and experienced projects, good ones, poor ones, you realize actually in the projects that are poorly run, how it actually impacts individuals.”What differences do you find with PMOs from different regions around the world? “I actually call Saudi Arabia the Kingdom of PMOs because it has so many structured PMOs run by consulting companies like McKinsey, for example. PwC is big into PMOs. So really Saudi Arabia has maybe surprising to some, it's extremely advanced in the way that PMOs they've actually developed.”Listen to the full episode to hear the full conversation with Robert.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe welcomed Ruth Bedingfield. Ruth shares her journey working as a PMO Leader and her path to joining KeyedIn supporting customers. Ruth and Joe discuss the importance of listening, how to react when opportunity knocks, and having passion for your work. Ruth has 15 years of business expertise with 5+ years focused on the Project Management Office. She understands what successful PMOs are doing today to bring value for their businesses tomorrow through working closely with enterprise project management professionals looking to deliver the value outcomes their businesses need. She understands the role of the PMO for today's evolving businesses and jumps at the opportunity to help PMOs achieve their goals through data-driven insights from powerful project portfolio management software.Ruth shared how important it is to be adaptive and flexible as a PMO Leader, “So I think I always like in PMO to being on the ocean. Sometimes it's forever changing, but the ground is never stable. Sometimes the waves are small and it's like a mill pond, sometimes it's like a storm and the waves are crashing down around you. But as a PMO, you learn and you adapt to ride those waves. I think agility and adaptability were really key for me to be able to grow in the role of the PMO Officer.”Many PMOs face the challenge of overcoming the perception of being the Project Management Police. Ruth had great perspective on this, “it was a really interesting journey. When I was able to sort of get hold of the reigns, I was really fortunate to also have the support of some really strong open minded leaders and sponsors as well as PMO that really felt the value. I think that was one key benefit that I certainly benefited from within our organization. But we did a full reset. I said to everybody, just stop, it's not working. We're firefighting, for instance. We're chasing tails, we're not proactively listening. We need to stop. That's exactly what we did. And we went back to basics.”Listen to the full episode to hear how working with KeyedIn as a vendor eventually led Ruth to joining the KeyedIn team supporting customers.

In this episode, Justin Smith, Principal with Start 2 Rise in Tampa, FL, sits down with us to discuss how he and his colleagues help AEC Design Firm leaders “build stronger Project Management playbooks to focus on growing their people and their business.”  Justin has teamed up with Zweig Group to offer a groundbreaking Project Management training program to help PMs be more effective and efficient.  The best part about the PM Training that Justin has created is that it was designed and delivered by actual AEC Professionals. Justin worked for more than a decade as a Structural Engineer, and he knows the project management challenges that firms face all too well.   The PM Training focuses on four key areas: Time Management  Communication - Ability to Understand and Be Understood Leadership Problem Solving & Conflict Resolution The question that Justin focuses on with AEC Leaders dealing with project management challenges is, “where are you now, and where do you want to go?”  According to Justin, for us to have a successful outcome with PM Training, we have to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge our shortcomings so that they can be repaired, built up, and fortified. There has never been a better time to professionally and personally develop your team. Starting with a foundational approach to project management will help you chart a path to project success for your firm and your clients.  Justin shares so many nuggets of wisdom in this episode.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe chats with Louise Worsley. Louise is a consultant, lecturer and coach in the Project Management industry for over 30 years. She shared several stories and experiences with us including key points from years of research conducted for several organizations.Louise leads the leadership module on the Masters in Project Management at the University of Cape Town and is the author of several books and publications on portfolio and project management, including Stakeholder-led Project Management: Changing the way we manage projects.Louise and PMO Joe chatted about Leadership, with Louise sharing, “And for me, the currency of leadership is relationships. So I had to build those relationships in the University so that I could run this relatively complex program and build that coalition of support that we needed in order to do this major change program. And I think I personally had to change. I have to now focus not on doing things, but on creating those connections. And I think that for me was when I started to feel, gosh, this is what it means to be a manager. Here's what it means to run projects.” We also learned quite a bit about the research Louise has conducted over the years. What important findings can we learn from research? Is there a method or process that is more successful than another? She shared, “what we also found is that you could have one person using the same method and another person using the same method. One was incredibly successful, one was incredibly unsuccessful. So what was different about the people? What really mattered? So we went and measured their high performing project managers and looked at them. And I think one of the interesting first, the most important behavioral competence came out. And I've mentioned this before was integrity.”Louise and PMO Joe continue their discussion about the various research findings and what to look for with successful project management.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe chats with the Chief Innovation Officer of Prosci, Tim Creasey. Tim is a returning guest and while they discuss change management, much of the episode is focused on the future of work and reimagining work in our post-covid world. Tim Creasey is an author, researcher, and change expert who focuses on the people side of change with process, wit and vigor. Tim's work forms the foundation of the world's largest body of knowledge on change management. His role as Chief Innovation Officer at Prosci gives him unparalleled insight into change management challenges, trends and futures. One of the concepts Tim shared is the mindset of reentry or reimagining the workplace. He said, “even in April 2020, like reentry is you're driving down 15, you get off the highway, get gas, you get back on 15, you reentered the road that you departed from. But the road we were on wasn't going to be there even back in April 2020.” We are now reimagining what work will be like for us. The concept of gathering has been lost in some respect as we've lived in a remote work environment. Tim shared, “Gathering matters. Even though we can do almost anything apart. Gathering matters. And so how are we going to be strategic, intentional, really thoughtful when we are able to share space and make the most of the time, we share space.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, PMO Joe celebrates his 100th show milestone with special guests Asya Watkins and Kim Essendrup! Making it to the 100th episode of a podcast is a milestone worth celebrating and taking time to reflect on the people and stories shared along the journey. As successful podcast hosts themselves, Asya and Kim also share the lessons they've learned, the guests with the biggest impact, the guests who they are chasing, and the communities they've built.Asya is the host of the Women of Project Management podcast and founder of the WoPM community. She started the community because she couldn't find one that already existed to match what she needed. Asya shared with us, “I know a lot of people when they start businesses, they do the research and who else is out there? And I really couldn't find it or I would have just joined it. And so, I just decided to go ahead and start it. And so now I'm just so grateful that we get to have these beautiful conversations, we get to learn. But it is something also about being able just to see other women that look like you and that are thriving in their careers and that there's no titles, they let down those titles, there's no ego and we share.”We also reflected on some of our favorite shows and guests. Kim is one of the co-hosts of Project Management Happy Hour with his co-host Kate Anderson. Kim shared one recent show and a discussion they had with Tim Creasey, Chief Innovation Officer at Prosci. He shared, “I have to say, I have a professional man crush on Tim Creasey. It's just brilliant. I just love any conversation we have with him.” He added, “It was really nice talking with him. He had a number of different topics he talked us through when it came to change management. And so many of them were really so profound that I found myself quoting content from the show to my colleagues, to my partners and then at home, which I like what you're talking about, but it just really changed the way I think about change and the way people go through change. It was really profound for me” Be sure to catch all the conversations and listen to the full episode: https://www.thepmosquad.com/podcasts/project-management-office-hours/episodes/2147717629Connect with Asya: Company Website - https://womenofpm.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/asyawatkins/Connect with Kim: Company Website - https://kolmegroup.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-essendrup/To catch up on previous episodes visit the Project Management Office Hours website - https://www.thepmosquad.com/podcasts/project-management-office-hours Or see the guest list for upcoming shows - https://www.thepmosquad.com/podcast Thank you to THE PMO SQUAD and The PMO Leader for sponsoring this show.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Ben Peters and PMO Joe discussed Ben's journey in the PMO space, Portfolio Management along with Engineering and Project Management in Cape Town! Ben's unique experience as professional spans over 18 years within the mining, oil and gas, telecoms, food, health care and the government sectors. With significant experience as a seasoned professional in all aspects of Project Management. As we learn about his story and path into the PMO space he started not within the Project Management field rather an industrial engineering. “After industrial engineering studies, I found myself in the project management space applying those industrial engineering principles—Always be proactive. I am known within the city of Cape Town as an implementer, as a driver, as a continuous enforcer. I'm striving for change. I like change. I'm not waiting for anything because it's just changing your mindset and maximizing those skills in the project management field.” Those early career experiences were setting the stage for a successful Project Management career as he learned the importance of mindset, organization, and management. Ben shared that he enjoys solving problems and helping others. In Cape town he worked on a project to help citizens impacted with Covid-19. “You sometimes take it for granted, but it's a great contribution that we do in the project management group that we're touching lives. I think that's the reason why I keep on working in this space.” As a government agency it is amazing to see the applications in project management take place and have such an impact on so many lives. We often tend to think of just business when it comes to PMO, however it applies to anything as Ben has experienced.

Bruno shared that he enjoys solving problems, inspiring others, and accomplishing his goals. He is an outcomes driven leader who solves problems and delivers results. Bruno is also deeply invested in mentoring.

It's an opportunity for you to be able to listen to what they have done in their career. “That was when I decided that I absolutely wanted to give back to society. So, I decided to carve out a lot of my free time to support people. Then, I started doing much more mentoring, Pro-Bono mentoring online on different platforms, of course, like the mentoring club being the biggest one, which is a nonprofit organization based here in Berlin.” -Bruno As a #IamRemarkable Certified Facilitator, Bruno is part of a global community of people who are passionate about helping women and underrepresented groups promote themselves in the workplace and beyond.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Kandis Porter and PMO Joe discussed entrepreneurship in project management and change management space, serving the military, mentorship and much more. Some of the themes in the show were building your network, along with helping people. Kandis explains that building your network and explaining the passion you have for something helps create deeper connections with someone. “Project management, change management, that leadership development. I think that's one area that I especially enjoy working with people on, because if you don't have support at that leadership level with project management or with change management, it's going to be a lot harder than it has to be or it's not going to be successful.” -Kandis Porter Kandis Porter is the Founder and Managing Director of Effective Flow Connections (EFC), a management consulting company that helps transform organizations through project management, process improvement, change management, facilitation of key meetings, and training. Kandis also works one-on-one with clients, focusing on Leadership development and growth. EFC enables organizations to do what they do, even better! Kandis describes the most challenging projects she's had to face, “I'd say just about any project that involves people is a challenging one. And I say that lightheartedly. That's what makes project management, change management so rewarding as well, because you're making a difference. There's project outcomes and objectives. You're trying to do something. People are everywhere. And if you forget about them, you're not going to succeed with your project.” Before joining the consulting industry, Kandis proudly served more than seven years in the United States Air Force and is passionate about giving back to veterans and their families.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Louise Gardner and PMO Joe discussed the PMO space and how to push the start button, entrepreneurship, strategies that have helped resolve organizational resistance to new PMOs and much more. Passion goes a long way when you're thinking about starting your own business. Louise shared how starting her own company has made her feel that she has a purpose. “I dance to work every day. I'm having an awesome time and I've never quite felt like that. There's lots of positive things to be said about corporate life, but I'm having more fun than I've ever had right now.” Louise started her PMO career as a Project Controller in the Water industry in the late 90's. Working with topflight engineering companies on large projects, she developed a passion for supporting project teams and creating transparency around project data. After moving to Sydney, Australia in 2004, Louise continued to work with Utilities across water, power, and transport before establishing Pledge Consulting in 2012. “PMO is such a people centric Department team. It's about giving people a level of comfort that you are there to support them on the journey. And these things that they think can't be done shouldn't be done. Let's just deal with them one step at a time. Evolution, not revolution, is one of my favorite things” -Louise Driven by passion for creating efficiency, quality and an overarching desire to help organizations get more value from their project controls and project delivery teams. Pledge Consulting's mission is ‘To help organizations deliver value by doing projects better'.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Annmarie Curley and PMO Joe discussed how a top-down and bottom-up approach is necessary to bridge the strategy-execution gap and establish environments where teams can be successful without burning out. Annmarie shares how teams spend so much of their time reacting and firefighting that they are unable to devote any time to learning new tools or methods to change how they operate. “It becomes a vicious cycle that are nearly impossible to break out of, and results in team members who are stressed, overworked, and overwhelmed.”- Annmarie CurleyOne major contributor Annmarie mentioned is the type of chaotic environment, she calls “duct tape leadership” -- the patched-together systems that help teams meet short-term goals, at the cost of long-term stability and sustainability. The antidote to duct tape is intentional leadership-- taking time to establish the conditions your team needs to succeed.Organizations achieve their mission through projects -- and the work that project teams accomplish is pivotal to the organization's success. The project manager's ability to lead the team and transformation is a critical element. However executive leaders also have a responsibility to set the stage for the team's success, and to ensure that the work being executed aligns with the strategic priorities. “Revisiting the Agile Manifesto led me to think about the Project Leader's Manifesto. The work that a project leader does isn't easy - they often are working under duress, and it can sometimes feel like pushing a boulder up a mountain. However, I firmly believe that to be effective, project managers have to lead rather than manage which is why I call the role project leader rather than project manager.” “Organizations achieve their mission through projects -- and the work that project teams accomplish are pivotal to the organization's success. Project Leader Manifesto focuses on people over process and placing attention on the power skills. ” -AnnmarieConnect with Annmarie: Website: https://lnkd.in/enfMJ6XM LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/gQUHz4W Twitter: https://lnkd.in/eFYh56Sp To catch up on previous episodes or see the guest list for upcoming shows visit the Project Management Office Hours website - https://lnkd.in/g_zP8gU8 Thank you to THE PMO SQUAD and The PMO Leader for sponsoring this show.

Efficiency, what does that mean to you? Since COVID, our jobs have been impacted with efficiency and prioritization. “As a Project Manager or any manager for that matter, we rarely leave the office with everything finished. There is always a list of things that you did not get to or an email you saw pop in just as you shut down the computer.” -Nigel Creaser.Joe and Nigel discuss how to become more productive and efficient at the office from Nigel's book Project Manager Productivity Hacks.Nigel Creaser is the host of The Sunday Lunch Project Podcast where he conducts in-depth interviews with leading project professionals from around the world, working out what makes project managers tick.“From my past shows on my podcast we've had talks about the different strengths you've got and how you can see why people who have certain strengths are asked to do something that is against their what they are comfortable with.”- Nigel Creaser. This puts us in to perspective that we all can learn by stepping outside of our boundaries and push ourselves.Nigel Creaser is a Project and Program Manager with over 20 years of experience leading change for public and private organizations across a vast array of sectors and technologies.

This topic was one of ILTACON 2021's most popular conference sessions, and as security is a concern to many the original panel has reunited for a follow-up podcast. Security is complex and when left without robust resources of money, knowledge, and people we sometimes revert to the ostrich head in the sand approach. Even though we try to do our best, we sometimes fall into bad habits. This podcast session is the opposite of sharing best practices . . . we will call out the absolute worst mistakes. Without mentioning any entity or name, we will discuss the criticality of certain practices. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to walk away with a private GOLD STAR or perhaps the feeling of "oh no, I do that and better fix that" without having to admit it to your peers.

And going forward, what can organisations do to make their culture more diverse and inclusive to all ethnicities?This episode was produced by Alice Crabtree.Music used: Ketsa - ‘Ascend Dub’Ketsa - ‘Good Vibe’Both are licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0All interviews were conducted remotely, as per the COVID-19 restrictions at the time.A huge thank you to everyone involved in this episode:·         Sheilina Somani·         Anuli Changa·         Erina Nyonyintono·         Juliano Robinson·         Preye Tobolayefa·         Yaw Owusu·         Indigo Rosen HuntUseful resources:https://blacklivesmatter.com/resources/https://www.verywellmind.com/anti-racism-strategies-5069386 https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/race-report-statistics Find out more about ILX’s Diversity & Inclusion group and activities on our website: https://www.ilxgroup.com/uk/individual/diversity-and-inclusion Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and InstagramAnd don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast for more episodes!DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by those in this podcast are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the organisations that they are associated with in a professional or personal capacity, unless explicitly stated.

This week in our 15-minute podcast series it's all about PRINCE2 Agile®, with our PRINCE2 Agile lead trainer, Steve Boronski. Steve breaks down the benefits of both PRINCE2 and agile as separate approaches to project management. Many projects can benefit from the flexible and iterative nature of agile, but often you will find that you need the structure of a project management methodology as well.

In this special episode of Project Management Office Hours Joe Pusz, PMO Joe, has a thought provoking discussion with Project Management Industry leaders Dr. Harold Kerzner from the International Institute for Learning and Belinda Goodrich from PM Learning Solutions.Much of our hour-long conversation was focused on the future of project management and learning from our collective experiences. Dr. Kerzner and Belinda both highlighted how Project Managers and the role they perform are evolving. We no longer focus our metrics on just the Triple Constraint. We utilize Frameworks rather than Methodology. We have re-defined project success. Our training techniques and tools are changing to meet these new expectations. We discuss differences in project management in the US compared to abroad and challenges with teaching project management at higher educational institutions.Belinda speaks in detail about the A.C.I.D. Approach; Agility, Change, Innovation, and Disruption. Using this Approach, project managers are more prepared and skilled to lead organizations through growth by running programs and projects critical to overall organizational success. She also shares how Project Management Training has become more behavioral and less technical which provides project managers with essential tools to become successful. Belinda also shares her own story as a young woman starting in a male dominated field, how that has changed and the role that has played in her life with her daughters. Innovation and Project Management are two terms not often associated. As a leader in our field, Dr. Kerzner is examining innovation in project management through understanding our past as well as understanding the future needs of our organizations and customers. He shares stories of working at the beginning of modern project management and the impetus and limitations of Earned Value, also his personal experiences with his daughter as a project manager facing challenges leading IILlogoUSpnginternational projects. We hear how measuring success on projects has changed from on time, on budget to now over hundreds of available metrics. He shares how and why project success is now defined as “did you create business value.”Listen in to the full episode to hear the details from both of these industry leaders. We covered much in our hour and I wish we had more time to dig even deeper. Tune in for upcoming shows with Project Management leaders discussing a wide range of current topics and events! Our next show will be December 6th with Naomi Caietti and Raoul Encinas.

This week in our 15-minute podcast series we're looking at Change Management™ with our Change Management lead trainer, Andy West.
