EVA 18 focuses on Project Control

The EVA conference recognises Earned Value as the best way to integrate cost and time and the best

way to monitor status and inform management for decision making.

EVA is a conference organised by a project management practitioner for project management

practitioners and stakeholders.

The material is delivered, wherever possible by practitioners who actually have the experience of

doing the job.

It focuses on the technical when it is cutting edge.

It emphasises people skills.

It illustrates with examples from the biggest most complex projects on the planet.

It is mostly concerned with managing change and making it work. Bridging the knowing-doing gap.

It recognises the plurality of views about projects and welcomes input from unusual, unknown or

unexpected directions.

It is great for networking.

It is not in thrall to its sponsors and yet remains on very good terms with them and welcomes their

continued support.

It recognises that women do project management too. And very well!!

It remains fiercely independent and is attended by people who want to be there.

We look forward to meeting you.

Booking status

There are 2 price streams.

Expensive and less expensive.

Less expensive is for individuals who are members of professional bodies that have something to do

with project management, or are civil servants or are in full-time education, teaching or learning.

From further afield if your association belongs to the International Project Management Association.

Or in the if you are Prince qualified or your organisation is a member of BE or MPA or ADS or

PMIUK.

Above all if your organisation logo appears on the front webpage for this event.

“How to Be Upbeat in a Downbeat World.” 60mins

Roy Sheppard

A world class communicator and facilitator: In 2010 he was the guest of the Beijing metropolitan government when he moderated his third World Summit for the Olympic movement. This was conducted in English, French and Mandarin. In 2011 he moderated the same event held in Rio de Janeiro. English and Portuguese. When the IOC (International Olympic Committee) held their inaugural global conference for cities preparing to bid for the Olympic games, Roy was hired to moderate extended, live and unscripted discussions with panellists including Sebastian Coe of London 2012, Dimitry Chernyshenko of Sochi2014 and Carlos Nuzman of Rio 2016.

He is the acknowledged European expert on building profitable business relationships through networking and referrals and has spoken at conferences internationally for many of the world’s largest companies. He has worked as a visiting lecturer at Cranfield University’s full-time MBA course. And more recently at Henley School of Management.

In this session, you will learn life-changing strategies and practical tips on how to be a genuinely upbeat person. Enjoy this thoroughly entertaining session that is also guaranteed to help you realize how upbeat you can be—without chemicals of any sort! Fans of yoga and pilates know about the importance of having a strong “physical core.” Roy will share his own methodology for developing what he calls your “Emotional Core,” including how to be emotionally stronger, more flexible and capable of dealing with whatever life seems to throw at us each and every day.

“Resilience and Assertiveness.” 30mins

Didi Hopkins

Skirting the Boards

In theatre, impact, visibility, passion, presence, vision, flexibility, resilience, authenticity, creativity and courage are all crucial components of performance.

Resilience and Assertiveness is about how to stand your ground under pressure. It looks at the crucial moments when dealing with assumed, actual or perceived resistance. It explores dealing with difficult, unexpected behaviours and offers techniques to stay strong when influencing - seniors, peers or teams. It gives you the chance to flex, adapt and change your style to meet the dynamics and behaviours of others, so you remain confident and in control.

I teach, direct, coach and consult, and maintain a necessary balance between the worlds of theatre and business.

In theatre my roots are in the tradition of commedia dell'Arte. Recently I worked with Richard Bean on his National Theatre hit play, One Man Two Guvnors.

“Helping your sponsor step up to the challenge.” 45mins

Sarah Coleman BSc MBA FAPM FCMI FInstL&M

How can you educate your sponsor? Yes, you can choose your friends but you don’t often have the opportunity to choose your project sponsor. What are they supposed to be doing for you and your project? How can you ensure they come up with the goods and, more to the point, how can you ensure your organization is supporting the role?

This presentation offers an insight into selecting suitable probability distributions for use in project estimation. It aims to enhance understanding of the effectmaturity on the predicted outcome of costs from an early stage. Guidance will be provided on the fundamental question of does estimation to project outcome convergence improve by the use of different probability distributions, and is this affected by the maturity of the estimate under consideration. The presentation will also present whether there are significant differences in outcome spread and robustness across the various industry recognised distributions used in the generation of cumulative frequency curves developed using Monte Carlo analysis techniques.

Earned Value and Agile software DevelopmentStephen Jones MSc BEng(Hons) CEng MIET AMIMechE MAPM

It is notoriously difficult to accurately forecast final software development. The difficulty is converting performance of the project teams to forecast a cost. Often the best method that project managers have is to use inaccurate estimates for the cost of work done. Over the last 15 years, Agile software development methods have been developed to deliver higher quality software, better and faster, whilst being able to react to a changing (or poorly defined) client need.

This presentation will look at the the effects change has to employees from a cultural / behavioural

/ motivational viewpoint asking what steps the PM needs to be take pre-change, during change and

post change to ensure the change is implemented successfully with buy-in from stakeholders.

Traditionally when Change Management is discussed the PM instinctively reaches for his calculator

or calendar to work out the cost and schedule impact respectively. This talk is to reinforce the

importance of successfully managing employees through this usually difficult period to ensure the

change and ultimately the project is a success.

“What's in it for me? - Benefits realisation management and staff

motivation.” 30mins

Dr Hugo Minney

The APM Holy Grail is that all projects succeed. In the context of benefits management and benefits

realisation management, this means that all planned change contributes to the success of the

organisation.

Benefits Management is the framework for managing and monitoring, but to actually drive success,

we need the engagement and enthusiasm of motivated employees. So how can you get this,

without spending more money?

It turns out that money is not most people’s primary motivation. If we can move nurses from “I turn

up at 8am, see a bunch of sick people and go home at 4pm” to “I can tell my grandchildren that I did

a great job this week”; and if we can move cable TV installers from “I drive a van and pick up a pay

check” to “I help people and have great job satisfaction” then we can probably motivate just about

anyone, by showing where they contribute and the difference they make. That’s how Benefits

Management really should be applied.

We’ll discuss the present and future of Benefits Management, especially as it relates to staff

motivation.
