Future-proofing Hong Kong Workshop
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.
Decarbonisation
Most decarbonisation initiatives will be delivered as projects, programmes or portfolios, and so will benefit from having project professionals involved at every stage

The Project Profession
… 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!
Lecturing on Risk Management
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.
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.
Technology versus Behaviour in site safety
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.
