Well it is another year of many ‘thanks’ to so many people out there that have supported The Lazy Project Manager in 2010.
33 presentations across10 countries:
1. UK
2. Sweden
3. Hungary
4. Ireland
5. USA
6. Germany
7. Denmark
8. Switzerland
9. Spain
10. Italy
With some 2,450 people in the collected audiences.
In addition the free Podcasts on iTunes (just search for The Lazy Project Manager) has had 37,000 downloads (so I am guessing that you quite like these) and the website www.thelazyprojectmanager.com has seen over 15,000 new visitors in the year and the eLearning experience www.thelazyprojectmanager.net was successfully launched.
Highlights for me included:
• Speaking at PMI Global Congress in Washington and meeting many of my connections from across the project management world at that event
• Contributing to a new book out in January 2011 through Gantthead – more on that in the very near future
• Completing the draft of my second book ‘Leading Successful PMOs’ (Gower) out in July 2011
• Getting an active conversation going about the TV program ‘The Apprentice’ and its value to project management as a profession (thank you APM for this one)
• And seeing The Lazy Project Manager go to number 1 in both the UK and German project management charts (hey it is also out on Kindle now)
And 2011 is looking good already:
• I have started work on my third book in partnership with a Brazilian friend
• I have been booked to run a workshop and deliver a keynote presentation at the PMI conference in Sweden
• The Lazy Project Manager will be translated in to German for a mid-2011 release
• And I have been offered the chance to visit and present in New Zealand at the PMI event
• Oh, and I am planning something very special and completely unique in late 2011 (fingers crossed that this comes off)
In the meantime I am having some great fun with my survey to find out – What should the theme tune be for project managers?
You have until 23rd December to select the 5 tunes that you think should be the PMs Theme tune at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/pmsthemetune
Happy Holidays to you all – be ‘lazy’
