Hello Reader, One of the most common responses to the question "How did you become a project manager?" is accidentally. It often starts with planning an event or having the responsibility of getting tasks done. I am running a workshop next week if you have found yourself in that position.

You'll learn my technique for making sure my mornings (and the rest of the day) stay focused on the big goals, while juggling everything else! Have a great week! Elizabeth, If you're heading into summer with a view to...
Hello Reader, Today's the day I'm speaking at a BrightWork webinar about how we can make the best use of AI. AI maturity is accelerating but PM maturity is not. There are rising expectations from AI like portfolio transparency, faster cycles and predictive insights. So why are so many organisations still stuck? The answer isn’t technology, it’s the foundations underneath it. AI doesn’t fix broken processes; it amplifies them. In this session we’ll challenge the assumption that the answer to...
