So successful in fact, its stories remain legendary for years after its completion by all those involved. And what about those who were not involved?...... They're falling over themselves in desperation to be on subsequent project teams with you.

It doesn't matter, how much you've read, or been taught, or whether you have an MBA or not; these are no guarantees for success. Projects do not become successful because of individuals alone, teams or groups of individuals are key.

Your time as a project manager is therefore best spent managing and leading your team towards success with vision and clarity.

Don't get me wrong, the processes, tools and practices more widely spoken about, are vitally important, though they are most effective when applied in a pragmatic and disciplined way, fit for the task at hand and understood by all involved; low tech, high touch. However, always remember, a project's success relies foremost on people.

Projects have involved New Product Development, expansion of existing operations, greenfield and brownfield development, information systems, public events as well as significant changes around the home. Managing projects well is not just a workplace ethic, it's a way of bringing efficiency and structure to your whole life when you need to - a calmness of being in control.

We have managed single projects, as well as sizable project portfolios and programmes, but our basic approach stays the same, low tech, high touch; we stay true to what we preach.

Our coaching and mentoring has developed successful project managers who have defined industry standards in project management and whose project teams have won international industry awards for project delivery.
