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.

Diversity alone won’t magically spur innovation
It’s just the first step.

This is the closing webinar for May Book Club on Driven by Difference; How Great Companies Fuel Innovation Through Diversity.

About the Book Driven by Difference:

Today’s workforce is more diverse than ever before. But despite new perspectives and talents, the promise of increased innovation rarely materializes.

Why are so few businesses seeing results?

Studies show that diverse teams are more creative than homogenous ones—but only when they are managed effectively.

The secret is to minimize conflict while maximizing the informational diversity found in varied values and experiences. To do this, both leaders and team members need a high level of cultural intelligence, or CQ.

Drawing on success stories from Google, Alibaba, Novartis, and other groundbreaking companies, Driven by Difference identifies the management practices necessary to guide multicultural teams to innovation.

Learn how to:

• Create an optimal environment
• Build trust
• Fuse differing perspectives
• Align goals and expectations
• Generate fresh ideas
• Consider the various audiences when selecting and selling an idea
• Design and test for different users

Cultural differences can lead to gridlock, or they can catalyze innovation and growth. This research-based plan turns diversity’s potential into economic reality.

Join the author, David Livermore (LinkedIn profile) and host, Tolitha Lewis (LinkedIn profile) for a live Q&A session.  Questions can be submitted ahead of time in the book club discussion and will also be taken live during the webinar.
