Hi Group B
ICCPM are undertaking work on complexity mapping and are keen to get feedback from our group on their work when it is ready to share. I don’t have a date for that yet.
Are you willing to apply your expertise and experience in helping with this document?
Naomi has also suggested:
Thank you for the update on the SIG. I hope rather than taking a break, I can suggest having less frequent meetings for a while. The minimum we set is four meetings per year…and you dertainly exceed that! This might also be an opportunity to have a couple of meetings at different times to maybe engage some of the ICCPM Members who have expressed interest in joining the SIG. They may have some new ideas for areas of investigation. Even if the conversation doesn’t lead to a report, I’m sure members would value some free flowing conversations
Is this of interest to you?
Cheers
Davin
::Hi Group
Attached is the transcript from our meeting on 21st March 24.
There is so much good material in this meeting – I recommend it as worthwhile reading to all.
This is our final meeting for the moment, we have decided to take a break until one of our members comes up with a topic that inspires all to meet together and continue our good work. The group has produced 4 major papers over the last couple of years, and it it a real credit to those who have participated and contributed to our work.
I have learnt much from the meetings and am grateful for the hard work, the open sharing and good intent of all those involved. Thank you to all.
Until we fire up again, cheers and thank you to ICCPM and all those who have contributed to this very successful enterprise.
Please feel free to continue to use the forum to share ideas, maintain contact and work together for the good of all.
Cheers

You probably know about the CHAOS report, but just in case:
The Standish Group has published the CHAOS (Comprehensive Human Appraisal for Originating Software) Report for nearly 40 years. In it, they have chronicled the failure of many IT projects to be delivered on time, within budget, and with all promised functionality (scope). According to “CHAOS 2020: Beyond Infinity,” only 19% of all IT projects achieve this lofty goal (on time, within budget, and with all scope). This just might be the worst statistic in the last 40 years of CHAOS Reports. Many projects will of course achieve a combination of some subset of these goals (e.g., timing and quality, but not scope and budget), but very few achieve all.

::Hi Group B
I thought you may find the attached papers to be of interest, particularly in terms of lessons learnt and setting success factors.
Happy reading

Attached is the transcript of our last meeting. Sorry for the delay – I have been very busy.
It is really good to hand over our paper on cross discipline issues to ICCPM – another product of our collective experience and wisdom.
The transcript has a number of suggestions for future topics, so happy reading and we will catch up at our next meeting.
Cheers

Our erstwhile scribe and producer of extraordinary documents (Ian Mack in case you hadn’t guessed) has worked tirelessly to update the paper on Cross-Discipline Engagement, drawing on our last meeting, etc. I have formatted the outcomes of his labours and the result is posted here.
Ian thinks, and I agree, that the paper is essentially done.
PLEASE read the paper before our next meeting so we can come to a finalisation of this topic.
I think this paper provides a great foundation for the next ICCPM Roundtable Series – ‘Rethinking Boundaries in Complex Projects’, so it would be really good if we are able to present our final paper as input into these Roundtable discussions.
Cheers

“Zombie leadership lives on not because it has empirical support but because it flatters and appeals to elites, to the leadership industrial complex that supports them, and also to the anxieties of ordinary people in a world seemingly beyond their control.
It is propagated in everyday discourse surrounding leadership but also by the media, popular books, consultants, HR practices, policy makers, and academics who are adept at catering to the tastes of the powerful and telling them what they like to hear.” S.

I might suggest Tourish ‘The dark side of transformational leadership: A critical perspective’
Routledge (2013) for further interest.

::Thank you Ian for a most wonderful start on our topic Cross Discipline Considerations.
I have made some very minor edits (spelling, etc) and a comment for consideration (attached)
Looking forward to our first meeting on 18 January 24
