Project Management: It’s all Bollocks!

Recently Peter Taylor (and Susie Palmer-Trew) published a book with the provocative title "Project Management: It’s All Bollocks!"

PMI Switzerland invites Peter to tell us what he means by the title.

In our session we will all pick over the sadly inadequate body of knowledge that is project management today, and generally challenge just about everything, eliminating that which you don't need to bother to learn about, or should already know, leaving you only with the parts that will give you the results you want.

The project management profession continues to grow and mature but is at risk of excluding those who don’t fit the mould. There is a mystique out there that only certificated project managers can be project managers. The project management skill set is accessible to anyone, and how you choose to access it and put it to use should remain the decision of the individual. There shouldn’t be a right or wrong choice.

This speech is targeted at those ‘projects as usual project managers’ who will drive most of the change inside organisations tomorrow and beyond, and who really need help to do that.

Here we offer up a selection of seven cracking ideas, that when applied to a project environment will ultimately result in you being a good manager of projects in this modern world of business complexity.
