WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE
STATUS QUO?
Strategic Alignment
38%
of initiatives are
not helping to
deliver strategy

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE
STATUS QUO?
Our profession has traditionally focussed on
project and program delivery
but
an initiative delivered well
which should never have started in the first place,
is the ultimate waste of resources
therefore:
Select the right initiatives

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Organisations that
focus on strategic
alignment
deliver 50% more
successful projects

USE LEAD INDICATORS TO
MONITOR BENEFIT PERFORMANCE
• Goal – Reduce Smoking Related Deaths
• Lead Indicator – Smoking Rates
• Goal – Reduce staff in call centre
• Lead Indicator - % of self service transactions
• And don’t forget to test assumptions too!

PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
• Need to regularly review the components of each
portfolio to determine:
–Initiatives are still strategically aligned
–Delivery Performance ($, time)
–Benefits are likely to be realised
• If an initiative no longer fits, have the decency to kill it!

DESIRED ATTRIBUTES OF
BUSINESS CASES
• Involve all stakeholders in their creation
• Identify all work (inc. change)
• Provide objective targets for performance
measurement
• Clearly identify ownership for benefits
• Include Lead Indicators to provide early warning

BENEFITS-LED

In the next five years, the world will see more projects than ever. The reconstruction of the economy, healthcare, social care, and society at large, after the devastating global pandemic crisis, will be unprecedented in human history. According to McKinsey Governments’ have announced $10 trillion in reconstruction funds just in the first two months of the crisis, which is three times more than the response to the 2008–09 financial crisis. We are witnessing the rise of projects as the main unit of work, as well as the essential model to deliver change and create value for individuals, organizations, and society at large. The move from a world driven by efficiency to a world driven by the change will have enormous consequences in terms of strategies, culture, organisational structure, competencies, compensations, etc. Yet, today, about 70% of projects and strategies fail to deliver their objectives. We urgently need to step up and significantly increase the project and strategy implementation success rate. Considering that every year approximately 48 trillion US dollars are invested in projects, we fail to deliver trillions of benefits, value, and impact in organizations and society at large. To achieve this incredible goal, project management and project managers will need to reinvent themselves into strategy implementation professionals, ... you will find out all the details during Antonio's keynote.

Die Testautomatisierung spielt bei der Umsetzung von Softwareentwicklungsprojekten eine immer größere Rolle. Vor allem beim Einsatz eines Continuous-Integration-Prozesses ist sie unabdingbar. Schnelles Feedback über die Softwarequalität und eine hohe Testabdeckung sind dabei genauso wichtig wie die Stabilität der Tests. Oft müssen neben dem Frontend auch Backend-Schnittstellen wie Webservices betrachtet werden. Dafür wird ein umfangreiches Testframework benötigt, welches die gestellten Anforderungen erfüllt. In diesem Vortrag wird das Testautomatisierungsframework XETA vorgestellt, welches von der T-Systems Multimedia Solutions GmbH für eben diese hohen Ansprüche entwickelt wurde.

This APM event was co-organised by the ProgM and Governance SIGs in conjunction with our good friends at PWC. [Full write up: http://bit.ly/apmpwcsurvey] As Miles Dixon and I introduced the evening, I knew that we were in for some fun as Karl Reilly @karl_reilly_pwc, our host, speaker for the evening and veteran of programme management, let it be known that he would ‘ask the audience’ to send in their votes using software called Poll Everywhere. [You only have to look at the website of this tool to realise just how engaging this can be for a live audience!] As part of my introduction I threw out a couple of challenges. Firstly with the well-known saying ‘lies, damned lies and statistics’ - why should we trust what this survey from PWC says? Also, “Isn’t it rather shocking that out of more than 3,000 respondents from more than 100 countries, only half [50%] agreed that ‘an appropriate baseline exists to measure all benefits for their organisation [projects and programmes]’ If this really is the case how can change commissioners possibly know whether they have got what they wanted in the first place? The 4th PwC Global PPM Survey, conducted in 2014 looked at; trends, challenges, opportunities and opinions relating to the management of portfolios, programmes and projects. During the evening we were invited to vote by text and web on our smartphones [one of those rare ‘don’t switch your phones off’ evenings] on various survey questions. The results and opinions of ‘we happy few’ were compared to those of the much larger global population. So for example. On the question of “Where benefits are set, are they realised?” [Slide 12] illustrates the fact that audience opinion [yellow] is broadly similar with the global view [orange] this certainly wasn’t the same in every case and led to some interesting debate. Sandie Grimshaw, who led the survey team, joined us part way through the session - after a long day at work. She says “The results are both interesting and enlightening, especially when considered with the findings of previous surveys, and also with the results that we find when PWC undertakes maturity assessments around the world on client programmes. I believe our survey findings have provided a fresh perspective for executive teams, as well as giving PPM professionals evidence from which to re-evaluate their priorities and approach to delivering successful change programmes.” Not being one to miss an opportunity, Alan Macklin, ProgM committee member and Deputy Chair of APM Board, stated APM’s desire to be involved in the next survey round 2015/16 as he sees it as an opportunity to extend our own work on Conditions for Project Success. In addition, in a short infomercial, the audience were invited to attend our inaugural APM Benefits Summit [23-25 June] - partially in response to the survey’s findings on Benefits Management uptake!

APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024. Speaker: Carole Osterweil Data is power. AI changes everything. If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings? In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions. “We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact. One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime. The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!” This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022. You’ll come away with: a clear understanding of how the human brain works. a framework that: explains ‘why people behave as they do’. makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set) new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder. Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

If AI changes everything – do feelings still matter?

AI in the project profession: examples of current use and roadmaps to adoption webinar Wednesday 27 March 2024 Association for Project Management Speaker panel: Andy Murray, James White, James Garner, Karina Singh and Alex Robertson The link to the write up page and resources of this webinar: https://www.apm.org.uk/news/ai-in-the-project-profession-examples-of-current-use-and-roadmaps-to-adoption-webinar/ Content description: Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession. To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals. This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.

Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology. However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button. Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt. Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering: What do I need to know about AI right now? If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful? Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare? Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.
