March 2008 - Skills for Learning in Projects
Stuart Murray (BA Hons Business Economics and Human Resource Management) University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, is seeking Australian participants for his Honours survey.
Learning through experience is a major source of development for individuals such as project managers and I want to explore if this learning can be supported and even increased. I believe some people manage to gain more from their experiences than others who are in a similar position and as a result are more capable of dealing with the future because they have learned more from the past. My research hopes to explore the possibility of project managers getting greater value from their experiences by developing better social skills or ‘soft skills’.
Phase 1 of the research was conducted with 15 top PM professionals from across various industry sectors showing a great deal of support for the hypotheses used. Phase 2 of the research will involve gaining responses from the wider PM community to 3 key questions. The results of this survey will be made available to all those who take part and hope to advance the thinking surrounding the development of Project Managers.

October 2007 - The Value of the Project Office: Theory vs Practice in Australia
You are invited to participate in this research study, the aim of which is to identify the strength of the alignment of Project Management Office (PMO) theory with actual practice.
The research methodology is designed to determine the extent to which theory has contributed to successful project management office systems.
