Introduction to Programme Management Webinar - 23 February 2017

This webinar highlighted what a ‘programme’ is – and what it is not – and how it relates to projects and portfolios in delivering beneficial change. It covered the programme life-cycle and tools that practitioners may find useful in steering and assessing their work in this field.

The presenter brought this to life by illustrating aspects of programme management from his personal experience of some of UK major programmes.

Alan Macklin has been Deputy Chair of the Association for Project Management for the past three years and is on the Programme management Specific Interest Group committee.

For the past six years his ‘day job’ has been in programme delivery with CH2M – a company few have heard of but one of the largest employee owned companies in the world and was/is Programme Delivery Partner on some of UK’s biggest programmes: London 2012 Olympics, CrossRail, HS2, Thames Tideway Tunnel, Dounreay Decommissioning, DE&S Managed Service Provider and Highways England PDP to name but a few.
