I visited Swindon for the first time ever in April, after a busy day at the APM Special Interest Group forum in London. As a group of Project Managers from a huge range of industries from financial services to IT and Defence, we explored what really makes project and programmes work. You can see our views here - they are pretty much in line with what comes up everywhere I go. It isn't the 'hard' technical skills that seem to be the icing on the cake but the 'tough (not soft)' skills that encourage people to get things done willingly and well.
