We have been seeing a lot of debate about Change Management versus Project Management recently, with some commentators suggesting these are two entirely separate disciplines …
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.
It was entirely my pleasure to be a part of this informative and insightful workshop.
Working alongside the other participants was a fantastic collaborative learning and creative experience.
I hope we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible through more events like this.
Most decarbonisation initiatives will be delivered as projects, programmes or portfolios, and so will benefit from having project professionals involved at every stage

I recently completed four days of NEC: ECC4 PM Accreditation training. Now onto the exam questions!
The long-awaited documentary film about the Making of the 6th Generation Peak Tram was finally released.
The PGBC International Conference 2025 - Beyond Zero Carbon Design was a great start to the year
… 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.

Mark has spent his Friday nights for the last two months delivering a series of 2-to-3-hour lectures at Hong Kong University, on many aspects of Risk Management in Construction to the students working towards a Masters in Construction 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.
We spend a lot of time and resource these days on the promotion of technology on HK’s construction sites. Much of this is geared towards productivity, but increasingly it is focussed on worker safety.
There are many parallels with this NYT article as HK pushes to increase the adoption of MiC, from regulation, through designing beautiful modular homes, to production-at-scale.
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.
Can designers really influence construction productivity?
