“Resilience is the capacity to respond when the original plan stops working.”

In this extract, Dr Amgaad Badewi highlights an important principle of risk management: strong projects are not built on the assumption that everything will go to plan.

Resilience means creating enough flexibility, capacity and contingency to respond when uncertainty becomes reality.

Because effective risk management isn’t about predicting everything. It’s about being prepared to adapt.

This insight comes from the Risk Management session within the PMP module of our Project Controls Professional Level 6 programme.

What does resilience look like in your projects?

Transparency does not create project problems. It reveals where action is needed.

During an Earned Value Management (EVM) lecture with Steve Wake, we explored one of the biggest barriers to effective project control: people are not always comfortable with data that exposes the true status of a project.

But EVM should never be used to blame individuals.

Its purpose is to create a reliable, evidence-based view of performance so teams can understand what is happening, address issues earlier and work together to improve the outcome.

The strongest project cultures do not hide difficult information. They use it to make better decisions.

Use the data to fix the project, not blame the people.

Ready to strengthen your project controls capability and make decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions?

The warning sign might not look like a warning sign.

It might look like someone becoming quieter.
Missing more days than usual.
A sudden drop in performance.
A change in behaviour that is easy to dismiss as “just a bad week”.

But sometimes, small changes are the first indication that someone may need support.

Safeguarding is not about waiting until the situation becomes obvious.
It is about noticing what has changed, checking in, and raising concerns appropriately.

Because the earlier we notice, the earlier support can begin.

Don’t wait for a crisis to make a concern feel valid.

👉 Notice the change. Check in. Raise the concern.

Have you ever spotted a warning sign that initially seemed like nothing?

Your customer may not be the problem. Your process might be.

When the same friction, drop-off or complaint keeps appearing in the customer journey, the quickest response is often to fix the visible symptom.

Another email.
Another FAQ.
Another meeting.

But if the underlying cause is still there, the problem will keep coming back.

That’s where Root Cause Analysis changes the conversation. Instead of asking, “Who got this wrong?”, we start asking:

What in the system keeps producing this outcome?

Using evidence, the 5 Whys, fishbone analysis and measurable countermeasures helps marketers move from symptom fixes to system fixes and from assumptions to real improvement.

This is our Customer Journey series, following our look at evidence-led personas.

Because understanding who is struggling is only the beginning.

The next step is understanding why.

A great offer might get attention.

But trust is what turns attention into action.

Good marketing starts before the sale. By giving people something genuinely useful first — an insight, guide, checklist or tool — brands can reduce resistance and build stronger relationships.

This is the principle of reciprocity: creating value before asking for something in return.

For Marketing Executives, the question shouldn’t only be:

“What do we want customers to do?”

It should also be:

“What value can we give them first?”

What’s one thing a brand can give customers before asking them to buy?

Being under budget doesn’t mean you’re in control.

A project can be spending less than planned and still be falling behind. That is exactly why plan versus actual is never the full picture.

As Steven Wake explains:

“Plan versus actual doesn’t tell you anything. Planned with earned value tells you everything.”

That distinction matters.

Earned Value Management (EVM) is included within our Project Controls Professional programme, helping professionals go beyond surface-level reporting and understand the relationship between scope, schedule, cost and actual progress.

It’s about knowing not only what you’ve spent, but what you’ve actually achieved for that spend, so you can spot variance earlier, challenge assumptions and make better-informed project decisions.

If you’re ready to move beyond simply reporting what happened and start understanding how to control what happens next, this is the programme for you.

A project can be “on track” on paper — and already drifting in reality.

That is exactly why Earned Value Management (EVM) matters.

EVM brings scope, schedule and cost together to give project professionals a measurable view of performance — comparing what was planned, what has actually been achieved, and what it has cost to get there.

It helps answer the questions that matter:

Are we really where we expected to be?
Where is performance starting to move off plan?
And what is the project likely to cost and take if the current trend continues?

As part of our Project Controls Professional Level 6 programme, learners will explore Earned Value Management with Steve Wake, former Deputy Chair of the APM Board and a recognised authority in the project controls profession.

For professionals progressing towards Chartered Project Professional (ChPP), this is about more than learning another technique. It is about strengthening the technical judgement, performance insight and control capability expected at senior professional level.

Build the capability behind Chartered practice.
