 Strategic Context: Its Effect on Project Practices and Process
18 & 19 November 2008, Berlin Hilton
Join other senior executives from member organizations at the Berlin Hilton on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th November to examine the issues surrounding the Strategic Context of Projects and to analyse the impact of this on the practices and processes targeted in different commercial environments.
The words 'best practice' have become an almost universal target across the project and program profession.
To what degree does 'best' vary according to organizational strategy and context?
What do we really mean when we talk about 'best practice'? Is it a misnomer, and if so, what then should our target be?
The following experts are contributing to this Global Workshop:
Tim Carroll Head of Risk Programme Management at Standard Chartered Bank. Having moved over time, from projectized organizations to managing change within commercial organizations, Tim has first hand experience of the impact of project context.
Mike Cush Global Projects Director for Hatch Infrastructure. Mike’s role is to build Hatch’s world class infrastructure capability within their Project Delivery Groups.
Gordon Hextall CB
Chief Operating Officer & Interim Director for Programme & Systems Delivery NHS Connecting for Health. Gordon is leading the UK’s NHS Connecting for Health IT initiative.
Kay Mitchell Project Manager for the Caudwell Xtreme Everest expedition. Kay will reveal what was involved in making the expedition happen and getting 250 volunteers up on Everest.
Dave Olson Executive Vice President, Liquid Waste Operations, for Washington Savannah River Company. Dave is responsible for the site's liquid nuclear waste processes and facilities, including immobilizing the waste in glass at the world's largest vitrification plant.
