This is the reincarnation of Ken Burrell's Pragmatic PMOCast, perfect for listening on your commute. To start with, this will be the home to soundtracks from an existing video series (so please don't be surprised by the use of the word "video" on an audio-only podcast!). In due course and if people want it, it may also include podcast-specific content.
In this interview, Stuart Taylor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/skt/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/skt/)) talks us through how a change of government meant that the NHS lost out on some useful predictive technology, and how in hindsight he could have prevented that from happening.
This interview is also available as a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GakVv_otDg0&list=PLUzHVUTxWRyHNYyEAFz2zlD9DDpTV2pc-&index=3).
Sharing short, sharp, project lessons interviews like this is just one of the pragmatic pointers recommended in Ken's book “Learning lessons from Projects: How it works, why it goes wrong, and how you can do it better”, available from Amazon (http://bit.ly/KensLLBook)

In this interview, Elsie Rogers (https://www.linkedin.com/in/elsie-rogers-4b640b4/) tells us how a simple communication oversight nearly turned into a cost overrun, and reminds us of the importance of informal corridor conversations.

SSS #022: Driving blindfold through the badlands with Zoe O'Toole
In this interview, Zoe O'Toole (https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoeotoole/) tells us how she went into a hostile, change-fatigued environment with no project portfolio overview and implemented project and portfolio reporting. She shares how she gained trust and improved communication, and reminds us to listen and understand before making recommendations for change.
