We are delighted to enclose our Summer 2010 bulletin which provides news and information on the latest topics affecting project management today.

Front page story: ‘Are you free?’ One of the most rewarding problems to solve is properly and appropriately resourcing your project portfolio. Not that it is easy, as many factors shape the solution, and it is dynamic, with good current solutions decaying, sometimes quite quickly, into poor ones. Of the many factors to be integrated into a solution this article provides the five ‘must-haves’.

Case study: ‘Leading the way’ Mergers cause enormous organisational change, and that means projects, lots of them. When The Co-operative Financial Services and Britannia Building Society embarked on a 3-year transformational change journey they knew that successful project delivery depended on highly capable project managers working in partnership with knowledgeable project sponsors. Steve Hall, Functional Leader, Delivery and Portfolio Management, CIS tells us how calling on the expertise of CITI helped to make this happen.

Back page story: ‘Demographic time bomb’ The growth of project management as a major management discipline, and the increasing dependence of organisations on projects has resulted in a ticking, demographic ‘time-bomb’. Many highly experienced project managers are approaching retirement, and, without management action, they will take their practical experience and their ability to manage ‘difficult’ projects with them.
