News roundup

I was interviewed recently by Pawel Brodzinski, who writes the great Software Project Management blog.  The interview was around project management approaches and forms part of a series he is running.  He actually asked really hard questions!  Read the interview here.

Wellingtone (the people who do the salary surveys but occasionally send out pointless reports) have relaunched their newsletter.

Intellect are running their annual pay survey again – please take a moment to complete the survey and let them have your views on equal pay, which is a hot topic at the moment what with the Equality Bill on its way.  You can see the results from the last two years on their website (choose the .pdf files from the right hand menu).

If you are in the US, Mexico or Canada and looking for PRINCE2 or ITIL manuals and other products from the OGC, then they shouldn’t take so long to reach you as they have in the past.  IT Governance have signed a deal with TSO to stock their products out of a US-based warehouse.  No more excuses not to do PRINCE2!

There’s a great event coming up (invite-only, I think, so you’ll have to read about it here if you’re not on the guest list).  Sponsored by Morgan Stanley and Bank of New York Mellon, over 200 senior Men and Women will get together at Cass Business School the day after I get back from my holiday to hear from Avivah Wittenberg-Cox and Alison Maitland, authors of the award winning book, Why Women Mean Business: Understanding the Emergence of our Next Economic Revolution.  Read my review of their book here.  Julie Gilbert, founder of Wolf, will also be speaking.

And finally, congratulations to Jesper from Copenhagen, Denmark, who wins a copy of Phil Simon’s Why New Systems Fail.  Jesper, your book is in the post!  Hope you enjoy it.
