Final Newsletter for 2023! 

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and are looking forward to a fantastic 2024! You may be wondering why this newsletter is so late? Well I fell off my pushbike midway through November 2023 and rolled down an embankment. The end result was a broken right arm which made it difficult to type, but all back on track now and looking forward to a project positive 2024!

In this months edition;

1. Project Manager Live Chat

In this live chat session, I discuss a number of project management issues that are common. These include the typical Stakeholder Management conversation which is, in my view the most difficult part of project management success. This is because you just can't tell who you are going to have as your stakeholders and how they may respond to any given issue or project approach. As there is a huge amount of information already out there on this subject, I'm not going to go into it in this newsletter, however it will be the next subject in the Tradie Tips in under 10 minutes segment coming soon. 

In this newsletter I will expand on the Contractor and Scope Management portion of the live chat as this is another area where I get asked by project managers and sponsors to work on a solution when contractors are slow to deliver. But first, here are the links to each of the segments in the live chat at the approximate minute it appears in the video;
