- How Do We Get More Done With Less?
– How do we share resources and use them strategically?
– How do we execute the strategy with less?
Recently I posed these questions and more in my presentation at CHI’s 9th Annual Strategic Resource Management Conference, held in Philadelphia in early November. I was equipped with some answers too, and you can check out my presentation slides to find out more. read more
And so it’s the final day. The conference hasn’t been as good as usual (in fact I might reconsider next year). It’s a pity. I’ve lain awake wondering what the difference is and finally arrived at an explanation that works for me (apart from the ear infection which I accept changed my experience a tad).

Hi,
Sorry about the interruption to sending my updates – a middle ear infection got between me and most everything I wanted to do. I got to the sessions though, and my thoughts follow.

Hi,
Each year I make a pilgrimage to the Academy of Management (AoM) conference. It’s the largest global gathering of people interested in all things management and this year it’s in San Antonio and has attracted over 9000 people. It’s hot (the weather).
People ask me why I go, and the answer is really simple. I want, and need, to stay up to date with the thoughts and activities and requirements of the people who hire us. To do that I need to listen and learn to what they are saying. What they see are the biggest issues facing them; what they hear is changing and what is being done to address current and future threats and opportunities. read more
CHI and the BioPharma Strategy Series’ Ninth Annual Strategic Resource Management Conference will be held later this year in Philadelphia. The Sixth Annual Portfolio Management Conference is also included in the 3 day event. The conferences will feature presentations from industry thought leaders on the latest innovations in resource management, commercial strategies, R&D and portfolio management.
RNC is delighted to be a corporate sponsor, and is also pleased to announce that Diane will be speaking. If you’re interested, check out the link below for full details.
Diane is presenting on Day 1 (Nov 8th) - and if your resource strategies are causing you to wonder: “the question is how?”, you’ll be excited to know that she will be offering answers to this complex question, and indeed, you might soon be wondering: “the answer is…. Why didn’t I think of that before?”
Keep watching for news on the event plus Diane’s day by day perspectives on the speakers and presentations.
Hi,
I thought it would be a good idea to present some insight and overview on the conferences I attended last week.
I chose to attend the first – the International Conference of Global Studies -because it focused on global management – overall management not just related to projects. I was invited to speak, but I wanted to give you a bit of a brief on what I heard and learned.
Hi again,
I know I promised this yesterday but instead I spent the time debating with myself about what to say. You see, in recent times I haven’t been going to project management conferences, preferring instead to go to the conferences where the people who ‘use’ project managers hang out. (And just for clarity please note that my use of the terms project and program, manager and director are interchangeable for these purposes – the people other people look to, to get things done).
However, I agreed to speak at the PMI Pharmaceutical project management conference in the US last week and was hopeful that things had changed. That perhaps the conversation would be around delivery rather than process and outcomes rather than tracking, reporting and analysis? read more
Hi,
On Monday 28th February I presented a paper at the 2011 International Conference of the Association of Global Management Studies, which has just concluded in Las Vegas. The conference provided opportunities for networking and collaboration amongst scholars from academia, industry and government, and encouraged papers on any aspect of management and business. read more
Working Towards My Top Job! is a workshop being held on Friday 26th November 2010 by the Sydney chapter of the PMI’s Special Interest Group – Women In Project Management. It should be of special interest to you if you have been asking yourself, where to next from here?
It’s an interactive workshop and I’ll be one of the guest speakers, so mark it in your diary. It should be fun!
