In this webinar Chris Greco (LinkedIn profile) discusses the second-in-command as a person of importance not impertinence.

Examples from both classic literature, fictional characters that most of us recognize, and current events will be offered as forms of case studies.

The second-in-command is very visible in project teams as a person that may want to help, but sometimes is not recognized by the project team lead or manager.

Listen as Chris Greco explains the very nature of the second-in-command and how these “followers” are in fact not only necessary, but most often crucial to the success or failure of the team.

Project management solutions can be isolated silos of information within a much larger and complex enterprise.

A variety of tools for managing tasks and work are scattered across the organization, and often perform overlapping and similar functions.

Redundancy and duplicate entry of data can be drains on productivity and employee satisfaction.

There is a better way!

In 2012 the organisation mandated the creation of a single programme and project management methodology to replace several that existed in parallel. This was the TfL Pathway.

The methodology is based on accepted good practice and follows the principles of Prince2 and Managing Successful Programmes (MSP).

The broad framework relies on significant use of ‘professional judgement’ in its use. While developed from an infrastructure background, it is also applied in Information Management projects and soft business change ones.

The webinar will follow the Chapter 14 Gower Handbook of Programme Management content.

The context of TfL will be described. Key elements making up the methodology will be outlined and how their use may be varied according to the nature of the programme.

Finally, the point will be made that any methodology is simply an aid to delivery – self-evidently, it cannot do the work, it can only support if used effectively and with skill.

Presenter: Arnab Banerjee (LinkedIn profile) has spent his entire career in the infrastructure industry with a background in the power and transport sectors. He has worked in several functions and his team – alongside many hundreds in the organisation – developed TfL Pathway which is the declared programme and project management methodology in Transport for London.
