Our summer 2006 bulletin provides news and information on the latest topics affecting project management professionals today.
Guiding light: All healthy cultures constantly evolve; the front page of Bulletin discusses how to manage organisational evolution. For a live debate on this subject we invite you to attend our session at Best Practice Showcase on the 9th June. Toni Frascina, Business Improvement Manager at Sheffield Hallam University, discusses cultural change and the challenges the University has overcome to deliver the Vice-Chancellor’s vision. Details of how to attend can be found in the leaflet enclosed with this issue.
Nurturing your PPSO: So you’ve got a Project and Programme Support Office (PPSO) but how do you know if it’s serving your organisation’s needs? If you are a PPSO customer, a PPSO supplier, or work within the PPSO itself you need to be able to answer this question. To identify a route to a healthy, effective PPSO, you need to know what your current PPSO capability is. To find out how to assess your PPSO – read the article on page two and complete our online PPSO capability questionnaire at www.citi.co.uk/ppsoquest
A framework for change: There is an unrelenting pressure on organisations, and the individuals who populate them, to change and develop. This in turn places unprecedented demands on change management communities, especially the project and programme managers. Find out how to create the right climate for progression on page four.
