S3-Ep8 | Using Praxis to close the Project and Programme divide with Adrian Dooley
Episode description
📢 “Tailor your approach to the problem at hand”
In this episode Richard Pharro, CEO of APMG International, talks to Adrian Dooley, Founder and Lead author of the Praxis Framework Ltd, about closing the Project and Programme divide, what the Praxis Framework offers, and why he created a Global Management Framework.
Hear Adrian explain the issues that lead him to take on this herculean project, and the motivation he took from seeing people constantly learning good practice, but never implementing that knowledge.
Not content with accepting the “either-or” of guidance regarding Projects and Programmes, Adrian started to identify the range of barriers that were stopping the implementation of good practice; then set out to create a unified solution.
Listen in as we discuss exactly what Praxis Framework has to offer as a completely free, integrated framework, for projects and programme management, and some of the backlashes Adrian has faced over the years - particularly with regards to the idea that something being free makes it ‘less valuable’.
With over 40,000 monthly visitors to the Praxis website, it's safe to say Adrian is proving people wrong.
Finally, hear Adrian tell us what he’d do differently if starting over; before we finish the episode by asking him the top three takeaways from a extensive career in Programme and Project Management:
🏆
1. “Trust people to do the job” Micromanaging creates bad atmospheres
2. “You’ve got to be part of the team”. Go above the job ‘on paper’
3. Be agile, “Tailor your approach to the problem at hand”
