Project Management Challenge Award

Finalists for this category have now been announced.

This is a new category for the APM Awards. The APM Project Management Challenge is an annual competition which has been running for over a decade, where teams from each of the APM Regional Networks have the opportunity to conceptualise, plan and deliver a project, from start to finish. Each team submits a written report as part of the challenge. 

Winners will be announced at the Awards Ceremony on 18 November.

Congratulations and good luck to all our finalists...

Finalist  PM Dream Team, Mott MacDonald - APM Thames Valley Regional Network

Inspired by an internal exercise that highlighted the issue of burnout within our organisation, we decided to focus on providing support materials and raising awareness about mental and physical resilience within Mott MacDonald. Collaborating with our unit’s Wellbeing team, we organized a hybrid workshop focused on developing mental and physical resilience featuring expert speakers.

Additionally, we created a Resilience Handbook, available on Mott MacDonald’s intranet, offering tips to enhance and maintain mental resilience. Through this project we further developed our project management skills, including change control, risk management, and benefits realisation.

Finalist  Synergy, Babcock - APM South Wales and West of England Regional Network

Team Synergy (Babcock, Devonport Plymouth) worked with Ash Rescue Centre, a Dartmouth based charity, providing a permanent and holistic retirement home for horses, donkeys, and other animals, whilst at the same time creating and sustaining habitats that encourage wildlife, birds, and native plant species.

Ash Rescue had no way of monitoring or tracking sponsorships, and hence the team delivered a customer relationship management system which links to their website and payment system. The charity has already reaped multiple benefits from the implementation of the new software and have seen an astounding increase in sponsors since project handover.
