eWELCOME
Firstly a warm welcome to all. I hope you will find your time at Project Challenge to be both very worthwhile and an enjoyable experience.
I am extremely appreciative of the many excellent speakers at Project Challenge who have willingly given their time and expertise to provide a truly meaningful cross section on all of the various challenges faced by project professionals all of whom are striving for improved performance in their various careers.
Project Challenge would not exist without the support of the exhibitors and it will be very apparent from the many inspiring and often entertaining stands that the exhibitors at this event have made considerable efforts to provide you with real value and I encourage you to take full advantage of the many initiatives on offer.
I am sure many of us are wondering how the future will unfold. I am a glass half full person and whilst uncertainty is the enemy of progress we are not in a recession. The UK economy continues to grow as it does in most of the rest of the world very importantly in the USA and Far East. Project Management continues to be highly valued in most organisations both in the public and private sectors and continues to evolve over time.
In conclusion may I wish you every success going forward. I hope this event will provide meaningful value to you, and thank you again for being a part of the Project Challenge Spring Show 2018

10:15 The Potential for Artificial Intelligence to Revolutionise Project Management
Daniel Birch, Management Consultant, PwCArtificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise many aspects of how we live and work, including many opportunities in project management. In this session we will discuss what these may be and how far AI can go in shaping what project management what will look like in the future.
11:15 Breaking the chains: Skanska UK’s journey from spreadsheets and ad-hoc governance to an industry standard Project Delivery Framework
Doug Sorrell, Governance and Process Consultant and Acting Head of IT PMO for Skanska UKHow do you build maturity in your PMO and go from multiple sources of information to one point of truth? And how do you ensure that the tool you use to do so can grow with your processes? This session will detail how Skanska UK, part of one of the world’s leading project development and construction groups, has grown from Excel spreadsheets and ad-hoc governance to an industry standard Project Delivery Framework fully supported by the Antura Projects PPM tool.
Caterina La Tona, Chair of PMI’s 2018 Board of DirectorsAt this ‘Pulse of the Profession®’ presentation, you will learn what PMI’s latest research reveals in project and program results. For the first time in five years, more projects are meeting original goals and business intent and being completed within budget. While this progress is likely due to many factors, the presentation identifies the organizational investments that PMI research shows helps organizations achieve their strategic initiatives and realize their business goals. You will learn what those organizations we identify as Champions do that differentiates them from underperformers.
12:15 The Value of Project Management” PMI’s 2018 Pulse of the Profession®
14:15 5 Ways the PMO can Guide Digital Transformation
Simon Adler, Director of Sales Engineering EMEA, Workfront.There are few organisations that doubt the value of digital transformation. It’s the strategy and execution that can be challenging. Projects need to be strategised, executed, and analysed for optimal realisation of benefits. While most companies are beginning to take steps in their digital transformation journey, less than half of companies have undertaken a digital transformation project. Some worry about digital transformation projects failing, but if they hesitate to act, they risk falling behind. Learn how to overcome five common stumbling blocks faced by PMOs when working within a digital transformation environment. Workfront is an enterprise work management solution that allows PMOs to work with increased visibility, efficiency, and confidence. With smarter, more modern project management practices, the PMO can effectively lead its organisation in digital transformation.
15:15 Why Realising Benefits from Projects is a Rarity and how to ensure you actually realise benefits
David Walton, Managing Director, BestoutcomeWith budgets being squeezed, many organisations are launching cost reduction programmes to deliver cost savings. It is now even more important than before to focus on actually delivering these savings. David Walton, Managing Director of Bestoutcome, describes some key steps to ensure that your projects actually deliver the savings you need. David describes how you plan, manage and deliver benefits throughout the project lifecycle. He covers benefits probabilities, disbenefits, quality gates and linking milestones to benefits delivery.

10:15 Using PPM tools to answer Business Requirements whilst improving delivery and forecasting
Phil Howe, Project Management Excellence Leader – Europe, Honeywell Building SolutionsHave you wondered how you can improve efficiency in project delivery whilst also providing accurate business data to meet corporate requirements in as efficient manner as possible? Do you suffer project deviation in terms of time, cost, scope without visibility of the root causes? Do you run your projects with MS Excel, MS Word and MS PowerPoint Hear how Honeywell Building Solutions (HBS) has deployed a portfolio management solution to provide better control, insight and governance and it is now incorporating business requirements into the standard “running a project” methodology to provide reduced data entry, allowing data to be entered once for use by many and building a platform for all aspects of project control. Listen to the overview of how HBS has built on its successful global deployment of a standard PPM application with project forecasting modules that provides three outputs: Project cost profiling, Bottom-up project EAC calculation, Business revenue forecasting, And provides the basis for further developments such as cash flow modelling and labour planning.
11:15 Sponsors, it’s their fault isn’t it!?
Andy Taylor, Managing Director - People Deliver Projects, with James Lailey and Ed WareingPeople Deliver Projects has worked with over 20 leading organisations on sponsor capability and it is now a major focus of our work. We want to get better sponsorship on the map as a big issue and we will share with you what we have learned so far. Sponsor behaviour is often a problem for project managers, and even where it isn’t, there could be so much more a sponsor could bring. However, we will argue that believing sponsors don’t know how to sponsor is a myth. We will also share how the project manager can make a tangible difference to getting the sponsor they deserve, in what is often a muddled relationship. Why not bring your sponsor along? At this session we won’t talk any theory, just realty, with a scenario played out by professional actors, with audience interaction from where you sit. There will be a few home truths, a good debate, laughter, and serious learning. It’s not cheesey, and no one will be bored, we promise.
Barry Muir, Managing Director of Innate Management Systems Ltd.Managing multiple projects with a limited pool of resources can be an exciting ride. Whilst sufficient skills must be available to ensure timely completion of assignments and avoid client disappointment, having spare resources ‘just in case’ can severely impact operational profits. Drawing on recent experiences with Lendlease, the international property and infrastructure developer, and CB&I, a leading provider of technology and infrastructure for the energy industry, we will see how project and services organizations can maintain the right balance in a constantly changing environment.
12:15 How to balance skills capacity with demand, in a volatile multi-project environment
14:00 The Importance of the Project Board in directing successful projects using PRINCE2.
Allan Thomson, Future Product Lead, AXELOSThe role of the project board is critical to providing the proper direction for the project manager. Surveys and benchmarks from organizations like PMI’s Pulse of profession, The Standish Group’s Chaos Report, National Audit Office (NAO), and many more, give insight into the key success factors of successful projects and also, importantly, why many projects fail. In all these reports, we find recurring factors like lack of user involvement, speed of decision making, and senior management commitment. Even allowing for the project manager’s expertise, drive and commitment, it’s the senior manager and project board member who is ultimately accountable for these success factors. The project board can make a project a success by building a facilitating culture, showing commitment, supporting decentralized decision making, and making sure the right users are involved.
15:00 Project Management in the Digital Era
Jon Ward – Director, Beneficial ConsultingConsider the characteristics of projects in the Digital Era: shorter project lead times, self-managed teams, continuous delivery, minimum viable product, dev-ops, the end of the “Iron Triangle” measures of success, Scrum masters and Product Owners. Is traditional project management dead? Not so argues Jon Ward, an experienced agile coach and transformational leader. However Project Management needs to adapt. With the publication of PRINCE2 Agile and the PMI’s Agile Practice Guide agile is now main stream. Agile Project Management is an essential ingredient to control and manage the organisational complexities of agile at scale. In this session we will look at the techniques and behaviours of an agile project manager.
MASTER CLASS and SOLUTIONS ZONE PROGRAMME Tuesday 6th March
10:15 The “Agile Wars” and how to avoid them
Barbara Roberts, Director for Professional Development, Agile Business ConsortiumAgile is becoming more and more popular, and the basic concepts of Agile are quite simple to understand. But when adopting Agile into an organisation, it is also important to understand what options are available; it is never a case of “one size fits all” and there are dozens of Agile approaches to choose from. Agile in a complex technical product-based organisation will be different to Agile to support comprehensive change programmes, which may be less about IT and more about business change. Why choose one approach when the optimum approach is to blend several Agile approaches to address complex needs? This presentation provides some basic unbiased information about the pros and cons of the most popular Agile approaches, and provides some real-life examples of the impact of making the wrong choices. Having this basic information will help decision-makers ask the right questions to ensure they get an Agile solution that meets the needs of their organisation.
11:15 Saying what needs to be said – The conversations that get your project delivered
Andy Taylor, Managing Director - People Deliver Projects, with James Lailey and Ed WareingProject methodologies do not get projects delivered, people do. In fact, we would go further; it is the quality of relationships with stakeholders and within teams that makes the real difference. High performing relationships – the ones that lead to results – are always formed in conversations; conversations which go beyond the familiarity of tasks and the milestones – To where? At this session, we won’t just talk about conversations, you will watch them happen, in a scenario played out by professional actors, with audience interaction from where you sit. There will be debate, laughter, and serious learning. No one will be bored, we promise. We will debate HOW stakeholder conversations can forge more powerful relationships. And we will blow myths on team performance, making a case for building mutual commitment, accountability and trust at the heart of your project culture. People Deliver Projects are exhibiting on Stand 28 – There will be handouts, free coaching and experiential activities on the stand.
12:15 Understanding your value in the Project Management market
John Thorpe, Managing Director, Arras PeopleWith 2018 looking to be another challenging year, there is much to consider when trying to understand the UK market for Project Management practitioners. “What am I worth?” is one of the most common questions posed by PM practitioners along with “How is the market?” both of which do not have a simple answer! Join John, the author of the Arras People Project Management Benchmark Report (PMBR), as he explores the results from the 2018 Arras People report in the context of the UK market to offer practitioners a view on what this means for you!
14:15 Using human bias to achieve better outcomes
Stephen Brown, Head of Innovation, PolarisoftAll day long each one of us is making choices and decisions. These choices and decisions build up to heavily impact the outcome of our projects. How much of that decision is influ-enced by the information we have, and how much by the way it’s presented? Stephen Brown, will discuss the role between human decision-making behaviour and project information; how to leverage human bias in your favour to achieve better project outcomes. Stephen Brown is co-Founder and Director of Innovation at Polarisoft. For the last 20 years, he has been addressing the needs of businesses to consume and manage ever increasing volumes of data and information. Advising some of the world’s largest companies on IT Strategy, Stephen has shown how to create a significant return on investment on limited budget by implementing technology in very specific ways. His passion for technology and simplicity has helped Polarisoft build solutions that not only deliver, but are intuitive and simple to use.
15:15 Get Ready for GDPR Compliance
Nicola McCoy, Managing Consultant, PlanviewThe General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is just around the corner – how ready is your organisation in meeting the timeline? To establish your programme, you will need a cross functional data governance team that includes everyone responsible for GDPR compliance across your organisation. At the highest level, this includes Legal, Data Privacy, Compliance, Marketing, IT Security and Risk Management, Enterprise Architecture, and often the enterprise programme management office (EPMO). Join this session which will focus on the common business questions being asked by these different stakeholders in responding to GDPR. Time to get prepared with a data-driven, sustainable approach with Planview.
MASTER CLASS AND SOLUTIONS ZONE
13:15 Evolution of the prehistoric sticky notes
Liam Pettit – MatchWareAre you having problems creating and optimising the work breakdown structure? Are you constantly re-creating data throughout the life cycle of the project for presentations or report-ing purposes? These issues can be easily solved by applying mind mapping technology to the project life cycle. Mind Mapping has been widely used for the past 40 years in all aspects of business and education. Traditionally used as a brainstorming tool, but more recently it’s been optimised for the project manager. Mind Mapping is an increasingly popular topic in project management because when paired with technology it will increase productivity by 25%. Specifically, it helps the project manager in the WBS process and converting the WBS into a Gantt. Mind Mapping technology has further benefits because of the strong integration with MS Office. If you feel like you need to optimise your WBS process and are looking for ways to communicate the project plan more successfully…this is the session for you.
MASTER CLASS and SOLUTIONS ZONE PROGRAMME Wednesday 7th March
11:15 Multi-Project Resource Management
Sean Pales, Managing Director, ProSymmetryIn today’s environment with more techniques and tools available than ever before why is seeing the big picture still so more complex ? Whether projects are Agile or Waterfall the common theme is the need to manage a finite resource supply with what seems like and unlimited demand on the resources. Whether you are managing IT, Engineering, HR or other resources we will tackle techniques and best practices from around the globe and case studies including PepsiCo, Reserve Bank of Australia, Qualcomm, and others.
MASTER CLASS AND SOLUTIONS ZONE
Rod Sowden Managing Director, Aspire EuropeThe P3M community is often involved in delivering capabilities that are designed to improve the performance of the business, they very rarely look at their own business change and the need to keep pace or stay ahead of the curve. In this session, we will look at lessons from our work delivering over 150 maturity assessments and a range of assurance reviews which provide us with insight into the characteristics that differentiate the winners from the also rans. We will draw on real life examples and reflect on the value of well established and proven concepts like Kottler and the Bereavement Curve to understand how they can help improve performance.
12:15 Delivering performance and productivity
10:15 Explaining the value of change management
Melanie Franklin, Director, Agile Change Management LimitedIf change management is to be taken seriously as a management discipline, it must justify itself. Those of us in the profession must get better at explaining both what we do and the value of what we do. In this session, Melanie will provide lots of ideas for how we might better explain the value of what Change Managers do and ask the audience to participate in generating ideas of their own.
14:00 Effective Sponsorship is the Key to Success
Martin Samphire – Director of 3pmxl Ltd and Chair of APM Governance SigEvery year lots of surveys tell us the same things that some of us have been reading for the last 40 years – more projects fail than succeed. And it’s often not down to the programme or project managers. Too few senior managers and executives in organisations do enough to change the culture of project sponsorship and delivery in their organisation, but all would say that they welcome the opportunity to be educated. In this session Martin will outline some of the key research about the importance of the role, what makes a good sponsor, how can organisations embrace and support the role, what help and support can sponsors call on.
15:00 Developing Your Skills for an Agile PMO
Eileen Roden, Director PMO Learning & Lindsay Scott, Founder, PMO Flashmob and Director PMO LearningMany PMOs now need to support Agile projects as well as traditional waterfall projects, moving to be a hybrid or bimodal PMO. PMO Flashmob launch the latest Inside PMO report, “Agile PMO – What’s New and What’s Not” bringing insights from PMO Managers working in hybrid PMOs today. The report looks at the functions and services required and answers the questions – what stays the same, what needs to change and what is new. The question for the PMO community is, “do you understand what additional skills and competencies you need working in a hybrid PMO?”Many of the skills you have are still required, but some will need further honing or developed from scratch. This session will talk about how the services of the PMO change when supporting Agile projects and what associated skills you will need to have to do that successfully. Inside PMO is an annual report from PMO Flashmob which is created from contributions from leading PMO Managers on key PMO themes.
14:00 Starting out in project management

Keith Richards, Founder and Director, agileKRCIn recent years Agile Project Management has become an important part of many organisation’s Agile toolbox. The AgilePM qualification has become the benchmark against which ‘project style’ Agile is measured and is APMG’s fastest growing product. This presentation will create a clear understanding of how Agile Project Management operates and how it relates to the other well-known frameworks such as Scrum and Kanban. It will explain when to use it and when NOT to use it. It will look at the key areas you need to get right in order to maximise its potential and it will also identify the main risk areas that can make your life very difficult if you ignore them. Above all, this presentation will look to explode the many myths surrounding the use of Agile in a project context and you may be very surprised by some of the things you will hear. In today’s world you MUST know how to run projects that come in ‘on time’ without compromising the quality of what you are delivering. Why not come along and find out more…?

Dr. Sheena Carlisle, Senior Lecturer, Cardiff Metropolitan UniversityThis session introduces the key principles of PM4SD to influence success of sustainability initiatives in project design, delivery and management, placing an emphasis on long-term multi-stakeholder engagement and beneficiaries. PM4SD establishes the importance of underpinning international and national sustainability policies delivered using an appropriate range of project management tools and techniques for managing projects and associated workloads with sustainability criteria. An evaluation of sustainable development indicators useful to projects and the application of fundamental principles of PM4SD to project delivery through Work Based Learning and Planning demonstrates how an organisation can begin to adopt and implement sustainable project management principles.
Eddie Borup, Director, ibp Solutions LimitedA critical look at the controls being used today for the projects we will start tomorrow. This zone states that ‘Project controls’ are the information gathering, analytics and management processes used to predict, understand and influence the time / cost outcomes of a project or program. As the we accelerate into the 21st century is it right to still be focusing on predicting, understanding and trying to influence time and cost? Isn’t this yesterday thinking? Today seems to have a desire to deliver tomorrows benefit and desperately wants good value for money. This session will look at the need to shift focus from trying to control “old world” constraints to enabling “new world” delivery, without repeating the mistakes of the past.
10:30 Tomorrows Project is controlled by yesterday

Only by ensuring there is user adoption and that accurate up to date information is maintained will organisations be able to harness the true value of Project Solutions as they can drive the portfolio using a single source of truth. This presentation covers best practice in delivering a single source of truth using Office365, edison365 and Project Online and value this provides.
11:30 Single source of truth: Why we invest in Project Portfolio Solutions
Nicolas Mierowski, UK/Benelux Sales Manager, SciformaStatistics show that over 70% of projects fail to meet schedules. The consequence of this is “delayed time to market which results directly in losses in revenue, savings, customer satisfaction, and market share.” A root cause of schedule failures is not having the right resources available at the right time. In this presentation, we will discuss how to improve project success rates by focusing on resource management and how to implement your project cycle time improvement solution.

10:30 Implementing decision quality for project success
Quinton van Eeden PMP RMP – Palisade EMEAUltimately, a company’s value is no more (and no less) than the sum of the decisions it makes and executes. Its assets, capabilities, and structure are useless unless executives and managers throughout the organisation make the essential decisions and get those decisions right more often than not – i.e. “decision quality”. Business managers typically require a single deterministic number/value, expressed with a high degree of confidence, when making a business decision. As project managers, we however know that the effect of uncertainty on business decisions (i.e. “risk”) is a range of outcomes and not an arbitrary single number. This leads to a mismatch between the subjective expectations of the decision-maker and the objective realism provided by risk analysis. The presentation will explore the value of stochastic, decision analysis and how this facilitates high confidence, objective decision making setting projects up for success.
11:30 Ideation to value realisation using Office 365
Chris Aslett, PPM Consultant, CPS and edison365Organisations are looking to embrace innovation but lack the structure and tools to support it. Many organisations already have a function in place for delivery, but to effectively manage change and drive innovation it should surely be managed end-to-end, including strategy, ideation, implementation, and benefits. Built on Office 365, edison365 provides the freedom to crowdsource ideas, and the platform to implement them. By leveraging Office 365 and harnessing employees’ insight, edison365 transforms creative ideas into winning projects. Our solution when combined with Project Online, Microsofts industry leading Project Portfolio Management platform, empowers organisations to deliver end-to-end innovation.
12:30 The Case for Benefits Management TM
Bernie Leadbeater, Director and Lead Trainer, Academia InternationalChange is justified by the benefits we expect. However…Projects commonly fail to deliver the benefits that were used to justify them!The reasons broadly fall into 4 main categories: Strategic misrepresentation, (deliberate fabrication of a business case) Cognitive biases (affecting our ability to be realistic), Failure to make the business changes on which realisation of benefits depend, Failure to deliver the project outputs to the right quality, within the expected cost and time. In this session we will show how the Managing Benefits guidance can help us to avoid the twin threats of strategic misrepresentation and cognitive bias.
Patrick Kennerson, Head of Regional PMO, Virgin Media Lighting Project Change management is a subject that is very misunderstood within the controls community. Most projects pay lip service to change but don’t fully understand how to implement a viable change process. Change is often scapegoated for project failure by saying “The scale of change overwhelmed us, and we couldn’t keep up.” All projects will have change, and change must be understood within the wider complex relationships of Cost, Scope, Risk, and Dependencies. Change management is, therefore, a transverse activity that must be controlled and coordinated across various project functions, hopefully adhering to a single vision and a single point of truth. Join me for what I hope will be a lively discussion!
