AOM 2010 Montreal (Final Session)

Hi again,

AOM 2010 has drawn to a close, but as I said yesterday there was one more session I hadn’t commented on. Its title was “Project Success” and as tired as I was, and as reluctant as I was to potentially go to a downer after the high of the last session, I felt I had to go. read more

AOM 2010 Montreal (Day Three)

Hi again,  Day Three of the AOM 2010 conference.   Well I was excited. There were several sessions scheduled (I’ve always loved alliteration) on training that is now being provided, to ensure organisations in the future can access PMs and Program and Portfolio people who can do what organisations want done. But think about it… what do organisations want?… read more

AOM 2010 Montreal (Day One)

Hi, now I know you might not be too interested but I love to write about stuff when I am travelling.   I recently attended the 2010 AOM Annual Conference which was held in Montreal, and the experience allowed me to see and hear so much, and meet so many people. I can’t help but share it with you…  so here is the first of several updates recounting those experiences.

Spinning My Webinar – It’s All About the People

I recently hosted a webinar presentation for a Pharmaceutical Special Interest Group of the Project Management Institute.  It was well-received by the 122 people across the U.S. who logged in to attend.  The popularity of this form of web conferencing is fast growing and it was a fabulous experience to be able to present live audio alongside my powerpoint visuals. read more

The NASA Experience

I simply must give you an update on the conference I have just returned from. It was s-o-o-o-o good! If you’ve read my previous summaries of conferences (who could forget the UN BAWB conference of 2006) you will know that I’m hard to please – but this conference achieved it.

Imagine if you will, 1,300 project, program and portfolio managers from the one organisation seated in a very large ballroom ready to listen to the head of their organisation (not the PM Head, the head, head if you like). That was the atmosphere at the start of day one of the NASA Project Management Challenge, the annual gathering of NASA project, program and portfolio managers/directors. read more
