Overview

Roy Millard will draw from his experiences at TfL and from developing industry-wide guidance in the Association for Project Management.

Nobody (well, almost nobody) deliberately gets in the way, but there are a host of organisational, behavioural, cultural and historical challenges to overcome.

Perseverance pays off, though; providing you don’t set your sights too high, some benefits are quite easy to achieve. You will be encouraged to think for yourselves to compare and contrast your experiences with his.
