Episode description

In this episode of Implementing Best Practice in Business, Richard Pharro, CEO of APMG talks to Eddie Borup, an experienced senior manager who specialises in delivery within portfolio, programme and project management. 

Hear Eddie's approach to supporting a 1500-strong global, remote team (long before the pandemic) and the simple techniques he uses to ensure everyone is working efficiently and transparently.

Although Imposter Syndrome has played a negative role in his thought process, we get candid insights as to how he has overcome this and he shares his strategy to gain confidence during this fascinating conversation.

Having worked in over 40 countries, managing projects and programmes across a wide range of sectors including private, public, international NGO’s - performing a range of different roles, he is currently helping to build capacity in several organisations.  Prior to this Eddie was Head of Programme for a UN agency in South Sudan during the first 18 months of the civil war.

 Eddie will graduate in spring 2022 having just been awarded a distinction in his MSc within the field of Programme and Project Management. Recently achieving the Praxis Framework Professional, he is applying for Chartered Project Professional. He was one of the first accredited PPM Consultants and his first company was also one of the first Accredited Consultancy Organisations.
