It also appears that the ‘Friends’ leagues do not always listen enough to what is required they prefer the wouldn’t it be good attitude. Hence there are £ms of pounds worth of equipment across the country bouight by the genorous fundraisers but no space to install it.

My prefessional experience in Local Government service since 1993 confirms this and not just in Project Management. This may partly due to misjudged as politically correct job description – person specification which over the same period in thousands of job adverts studiously avoids prescribing professional qualifications or at best it asks for “or eqivalent ‘practical experience’ ” whatever this is meant to convey to the unitiated. For a country that competes with the best for training the world, I regard this as serious let down even if one is strictly against the ‘closed’ or protected profession of chartered status. I have also had to personally come to the rescue of many a project with cost the employer dearly for entrusting complex and simple construction contracts alike, to the unitiated.

Thanks

This will be on Tuesday 21st September at our offices in London (Millennium Bridge House).
