5 steps to rescue your troubled project

Recovery of a troubled project can be difficult. Knowing when and where to start can be a daunting task for any executive or manager that has project delivery responsibility but recognising that some form of intervention is needed is a great first step.
If your projects are starting to deviate from your plans and baselines, or if you just feel like you are losing control, Gowan Projects can help you.

The Project Profession
Dec 2, 2024

… perhaps 2025 could be the year that this situation begins to change, and that recognition of the value of “the Project Profession” begins to seep into the thinking of procuring bodies throughout the Hong Kong (and wider, regional) construction industry. Clients, employ a project professional to lead your next project, and see the difference it will make!

Professionalism in Project Management

It was really encouraging to have Prof (Dr) Adam Boddison OBE visit Hong Kong this week, delivering a positive message about the Association for Project Management (finally) pursuing an ambition to be truly global. Since its establishment as a branch in 1991, the GBA Network has been active in promoting professionalism in project management in the region. With a renewed impetus, we look forward to making greater progress towards the recognition that the project profession truly deserves.

Having been a PM at MTR for the design and construction of the West Kowloon Terminus, the topside development above was at the time somewhat undefined. I was at WKT a couple of weeks ago, and it is great to see the topside development now taking shape. Looking forward to exploring it on completion.
