Here’s a collection of case studies, first person accounts and experiences from senior project managers to inspire you.
Jo Cox’s murder, and knowing that her children – one the same age as one of mine – will grow up without their mother, has affected me greatly. And at the same time I’m aware that the depth of my feelings is nothing compared to her friends, family, colleagues and those who knew her personally….
