Out of office...

As if talent gaps and shortages, ever increasing demands, and ever mounting pressure (on return on investment, budgets and timescales) were not enough – IT Project resourcing managers are facing a new challenge! OOO!!! The “out of office” season!!! I say “new”, let’s be honest, it’s a seasonal, recurring, annual challenge and one that, despite this, we never seem prepared for! I swear time speeds up between holidays.

Avoiding Burn-Out: Five...

We invest a lot of time, energy and budget on the “self-care” of our IT projects, in terms of robust governance, strong PMO (Project Management Office) and world-class processes, etc – but do we pay enough attention to our individual or team’s self-care?

Unleashing success! What...

If you’ve ever trained a puppy, you’ll know the value of a “treat” to reward good behaviour, like sitting or staying on command. I think most dogs know the word “biscuit” before they learn their own name, mind you, I know some PMs who are as partial to a bourbon or chocolate malted milk, she writes dunking a digestive! At Crufts I saw a lot of treats passed from owner to dog with a “good boy” or “good girl”. Rewards are vital to the process.
