We all know how difficult it is to successfully deliver a programme. Unfortunately, it is true to say that more often than not, programmes will fall short in some capacity, be it an overrun of time or budget, or a failure to achieve the desired outcomes.

1. Why is this still the case after decades of initiating, developing, implementing, reviewing and understanding programmes?
2. What is the essence of successful programmes?

These days, the fusion of business and technology has increased the importance as well as the value of a growing percentage of programs and projects.

In the next few years, trillions of dollars’ worth of emerging technology and the disruption it brings will without question intensify the need to deliver strategic initiatives on time and within budget.

All of this has intensified the interests of board members and increased the activities at the board of directors’ level. Board meetings require proper etiquette to ensure efficiency and content.

Proper etiquette also supports the lively and spirited discussions that are commonly the norm at many board meetings.

Those who participate at board meetings must also ensure that they are speaking at the meeting in observance of legal and ethical principles. Program and project managers are increasingly being called upon to attend or participate at board meetings – – – So are you prepared if you get asked?
