Episode 05: Nostalgic For Professionalisation

From the Project Management Tipoffs issue for July 2010, the Arras People Podcast version is ready for download.

Here’s another quick glance at what we’ll have on offer to our Tipoffs readership:

• Professional Practitioners & the Professionalisation of PPM – We travelled to Best Practice Showcase 2010 and hosted some round table discussions with fellow PPM practitioners with regard to professionalism in project management. In Tipoffs, we report our findings.
• Skills Shortage Fever: The Last Five Years – Five years ago, Tipoffs reported a massive shortage of skills in the project management workplace. Are we better off five years later?
• CV Writing Services & The Professional Job Hunter: An Oxymoron? – Long have we been sceptical of CV writing services for job candidates. If CV writing is a skill, is there a shortage on this toolset as well.
• Book Review: International Project Management – Our guest book review, Dr. Ed Wallington (read his previous Camel posts here), provides us with his take on Kathrin Koster’s International Project Management.
• Question and Answer session: Would employers start to notice you if you gained your Prince2 qualification?
