The Lazy Project Manager and the Best of British

One of our partners Donnie MacNicol, recently contributed to the Lazy PM Best of British pod casts, here is what he had to say about it:

I recently had the pleasure attending the PMI Congress in London. As part of this, the laziest person in the project management world, Peter Taylor, somehow found the time to interview 10 ‘Best of British’ project management experts. Not that lazy then!

I gave my views on the profession, discussing “programmification” and capbility development, before describing the work I am doing with Aspire Europe on the setting up of Academies for organisations. I describe the key elements of a successful Academy and insights we have gained from the research and development work we have done with organisations.

I am on the 2nd podcast between the wonderful Lindsay Scott and Sheilina Somani, from 20:50 to 40:20. The podcast starts with a certain Clash song, I wonder if you guess which one?
