October 2010

A regular annual event for us now, we attended the Association for Project Management Conference held in London on the 21st October.

A highlight of the event was Stephen Calver's presentation using a particularly stomach churning scene from Gladiator to explore the different elements of project management and how they could be applied. Both arresting and thought provoking.

Tweeting on Twitter @MaciverProjects, our thoughts and feedback on the goings on throughout the day were provided for anyone how could not make it but with an interest in current trends and thinking.

We enjoyed meeting up with both clients and colleagues throughout the day.

 

September 2010

Maciver Project Services is delighted to have been awarded a place on the Scottish Government Framework for Business Consultancy services in the areas of Organisational Development and HR Consultancy.

We are leading a Consortium that brings together the experience and expertise of four specialist consultancies to work with organisations needing to deliver change, improve performance and productivity, or reduce costs.

With a presence across Scotland, from the south to the Highlands and Islands, the team brings experience of working with public and private sector organisations across the UK.  With a successful track record of delivering benefits for clients through initiatives ranging from major transformation and culture change to quality improvement programmes and through HR interventions and support including coaching, training and facilitation we look forward to helping organisations develop.

Maciver Project Services Founder Lynne Maciver attended the Scottish Business in the Community's Sustainable Scotland Summit on Wednesday 2 June at The Palace of Holyrood House. 92% of the attendees said they identified sustainable pactices within their organisations, and 45.5% said that "help with behavioural change" is key to increasing sustainable and responsible business delivery within their organisations. A report by David Lee of the Scotsman can be found here. Details about Maciver Project Services' commitment to the May Day Network can be found here.

 

March 2010

The first APM Scotland Conference was held at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange on Thursday 18th March. Our team attended to hear about the latest in the APM's Chartered Status for Project Management Professionals and speakers on specialist topics throughout the day.

It was great to see a number of familiar faces and proof that the Scotland Chapter is keeping active in our Region.

 

February 2010

With all we have learnt from our recent research project with Napier University, we want to take the opportunity to share our knowledge with our clients and colleagues. To do this we have launched our Blog "Change Happens".

Change Happens is a place for us all to explore and engage with our community and clients on the finer details of project and change management. We will look at the major methodologies in the field and share our knowledge and experience of delivering change using them. We will also look at how and where improvements in our field can be made. We hope you will take the opportunity to visit Change Happens and engage in the debates.
