Tak jak obiecałam
wcześniej, dziś relacja z największego wydarzenia project management w UK – Synergy. Poraz drugi
zespół wolontariuszy PMI UK Chapter zoorganizował tą nadzwyczajną konferencję,
której celem jest docenienie profesji Project Managera. Wśród zaproszonych gości
była księżna Anna, politycy, praktycy
zarządzania projektami oraz aktorzy i wolontariusze z The Comedy School, organizacji non-profit, która wykorzystuje komedię w różnych celach, od rozwijania kreatywności po rozwój umiejętności
społecznych, czy pisania. The Comedy School regularnie realizuje zarówno projekty artystyczne jak i
społeczne dla młodzieży szkolnej, czy penitencjariuszy zakładów karnych. Okazało
się, że Duncan Chappell, Prezes PMI UK Chapter posiada nie tylko umiejętności
przywódcze, ale również aktorskie. Dalsza część będzie po angielsku, gdyż tym postem chciałabym podziękować koleżankom
i kolegom z PMI UK Chapter.
On November 1st, 2012 I attended the 2012
Synergy Project Management Event in London. That was
second time when enthusiastic PMI UK Chapter’s volunteers organized one of the
largest events of its kind in the UK and I had a privilege to be a part of both
of them. During
this one event we heard many stories about successful teams and projects as the
main aim of this event is to celebrate the Project Management profession. All
presenters can be found here
and I will mention a few of them.
The event was
opened by Mark Langley, President
and CEO of PMI (via videoconference) introducing the New Project
Management Triangle - see the pictureJ. “The Project Management Triangle has been
misapplied for years and is now not understood by most project managers and
business people..! If we only speak the language of project management as in
scope, time, and cost; then project management as a profession will fail
today’s businesses..!”
New Triangle: Project Management /Leadership/Business Acumen |
Lord Digby Jones in his amusing speech described the
size of opportunities for project management. Last year Louise Hardy walked us through the Olympic
Park project and this year Dame Tessa
Jowell spoke on stakeholder engagement in relation to the London Olympics –
how to unify different fractions toward one goal? BTW, Well done London
Olympics Team!
In his presentation Dr. Thomas Juli introduced 10 Zen insights and translates them into
the language of project management.
1. Identity
2. Timeliness in a time-sensitive world
3. The power of vision
4. Overcoming Angst and the need for action
5. Individualism and hierarchy
6. Leadership and motivation
7. Simplicity
8. Truth and illusion
9. Team play
10. Passion

THE PROJECT
by Joe Onstott
Not sure if you are aware of this, but
Scientists from all over the world have come together in ITER to work toward a
lofty goal: harness the energy produced by the fusion of atoms to help meet
mankind's energy needs. ITER is a large-scale scientific experiment
intended to prove the viability of fusion as an energy source, and to collect
the data necessary for the design and subsequent operation of the first
electricity-producing fusion power plant.
As I’ve already mentioned in my previous post,
International Project Management Day has taken ‘women and children’ as its
theme this year. You can find more on Elizabeth Harinn’s blog
– I’ve just found
out that she wrote about me J. During Synergy 2011 we could learn about
kicking off the Project
Management in Schools project
with Mill Chase School and this year Simon Robson shared the experience from
the pilot.
And the last but not the least The Comedy School, a bit of light hearted entertainment in the name
of project management. I really enjoyed the improvisation show by Luke Sorba
and the team and must admit that Duncan Chappell, PMI UK Chapter President
proved to be not only a good leader, but
also a good actor.
The Comedy School is the only arts organization
of its kind in the UK which works with comedy in many different settings. It
aims to raise profile of the many uses of comedy, from stimulating personal
creativity to encouraging social skills and improving literacy. This is a non
profit organisation and relies heavily on volunteers and donations. The Comedy
School regularly runs both arts and issue based projects with young
people, in schools, youth centres, in association with Youth Inclusion
Projects, Youth Offending Teams and Safer Schools Teams.
This great event would never have happened without the entire volunteer
team who worked very hard, to ensure everyone had a great time. Thanks a lot
and see you at Synergy 2013 next year.
