INSIDE AIPM - Meeting Point (article)

Organisation: Incoll Management

What Industry do you work in?

Incoll specialises in the management of major property developments providing advice from the initial investment, design and approval through to construction, occupation and handover.

How long have you been in project management?

Seven years in property and construction, four of those years in project management.

Where do you see the future of project management?

Project Management will become more regulated. Project management is an expanding and diversifying profession that will require greater emphasis on accreditation and training to ensure its integrity. A perfect example of this is the previous question, 'How long have you been in project management?' At what point do you officially become a project manager and how is this regulated within the industry.

What acronym or meeting cliché do you never want to hear again?

In the content of someone being asked to quantify the duration of an activity, 'How long is a piece of string?'

The best thing about project management is:

Being in ultimate control of a project, assembling a team of specialist and steering that team to successfully deliver project objectives to the satisfaction of the client.

The worst thing about project management is:

The underutilisation of lessons learnt.

Greatest lesson learnt:

Communication is the key; effective project planning and communication creates the framework for ultimate project success. Project success involves aligning project objectives with the broader business objectives of stakeholders.
