A new podcast from Peter Taylor (The Lazy Project Manager)
Unscripted musings on business life, leadership, creativity, transformation and all the myriad of other work-life events that get in the way of a good nights sleep.
The Squid of Despair is a conceptual summation of what can go wrong, and often does, with mind-mapping or other creative techniques.
Born out of an idea for a book back in 2010, David and Peter have now made this mythical beast rise once again, phoenix like (from under the ocean waves, so a bit soggy probably), to explore all matters relating to ‘business life, leadership ..read more

It was (and I still can’t quite believe this) one year ago that I last stepped off a plane after a visit to Geneva and Zurich to deliver a series of presentations and workshops for CERN and PMI Switzerland.
At approximately (this is flying after all, and Heathrow) 5:25pm GMT I walked off a plane without a clue as to what was about to happen (and I expect not alone in that either).

We know that now!
This is the longest period in my lif ..read more

If your project is in need of copy for a newsletter, blog, or social post, your first instinct may be to simply email or direct message someone from your content team with the request.

So how can project managers assign content writing in the most effective, results-driven way? Read on for our guide to getting your content right.
Selecting Your Topics
First, you need to know your content needs. Sometimes, a project requires content that’s for intern ..read more
