Project Management Masterclass

Professional Body Cross Sector Networking Event.  Included presentation by Nick Lake, former Director of the UK Project Management Institute (good speaker, worth seeing again).  Intro by Laura Dziaszyk of CMI (poor speaker, avoid if she is main speaker).

Joint event with CIMA, Brighton Business School, ACCA, CIM, CIPD, CII, IFA, CMI and IOD.

Points to follow up:

1. Cost/benefits of formal project mngt qualification such as Prince2.
2. The grief cycle (but with applications to many other 'people issues').
3. Motivating Volunteers by Helen Little (because most people working in projects, or with interims, are not direct reports and need to be motivated as if they are volunteers.

Network notes:

First met: People from HMRC, Sussex Police (90 day consultation), someone ex PWC just back from Thailand.

Renewed contacts with Adam Shields, Michael Ramshaw and Judith Newton. 

2 hours for CPD purposes.
