Our Summer 2008 bulletin provides news and information on the latest topics affecting project management today. This issue features articles on: sponsorship, professionalising project management and project complexity.

Developing a tailored solution: with a large portfolio of business improvement initiatives in the pipeline, Severn Trent Laboratories (STL), the most comprehensive environmental testing company in the UK, quickly recognised the need to professionalise project management. Simon Marshall, STL’s Operations Director, discusses how this worked and what value ‘professionalisation’ has brought to their operations and people.

Conferences and events: see the back page for up and coming events including: Best Practice Showcase, Centre for Excellence Club and the Best Practice User Group one-day workshop.
