Breakfast Briefing: 17th November - Building Delivery Capability: Leadership, Skills & Tools with Rory Underwood MBE

Following on from my post about Saving Money with SharePoint in the Public Sector where I talked about the OEP and how SharePoint might help with cost efficiency, I thought you might be interested in hearing about an event one of our partners, PCubed is running in London on 17th December which looks at how we can improve project delivery capability in the public sector.  Clearly even shaving a few percent off the cost of delivering projects running across a significant programme of work, reducing project failures and delivering more of those projects on time will add up to significant savings in a very short space of time for most organisations, so I expect this will be a very interesting session for many of you to attend.

Public Sector organisations are under pressure to improve their performance with regard to project delivery. Government Departments are now being specifically assessed as to their capability in this area; and the PPM Professionalism initiative is attempting to drive up standards across the public sector. These challenges are being addressed, of course, against a backdrop of increasing financial constraint.

The latest in Pcubed’s series of Breakfast Briefings explores three key aspects of the improvement process.

Rory Underwood MBE, ex-England and British Lions Rugby International and now Managing Director of Wingman, will talk about the importance of leadership in effective project delivery.

Marcus Wildsmith will provide insight into how to assess and improve the capability of an individual and the performance of the organisation.

Karl Williams will set out how software tools can add control and visibility, demonstrating the Pcubed DeliveryHub, our PPM solution (Built on SharePoint MOSS and Project Server) .

Place: British Film Institute, South Bank, Waterloo SE1 8XT

Time: Tuesday 17th November 2009, 8.30am-10.30am
