This year’s Best Practice Showcase in London brought Pelicam into direct contact with over 150 programme and project managers who attended our lively roundtable debates on benefit realisation, assuring delivery success with outsourced relationships and project assurance.
Read a summary of the discussions…
 Benefits Realisation
Maximising your return on investment – whose job is it anyway? By Bill McMillan, Managing Practitioner...
 Delivering More With Less
How to assure delivery success with outsourced relationships. By Barry Sacks, Managing Practitioner...
 Project Assurance
A hot topic for the day. By Peter Mayer, Managing Partner and James Rosewell, Managing Practitioner...
Neil Richardson our Managing Practitioner and Alan Ogrizovic of the Royal Mail Group showcased Project Intelligence at a seminar during the event.

 Pelicam growth
2008-09 saw Pelicam’s business grow yet again. Revenues for the year were £2M up 98% on the previous year. This level of growth is sustainable, without any compromise in quality and client delivery, due to the quality and commitment of the Managing Practitioners and Pelicam Practitioners teams.
Our service offerings of:
appear to be creating a lasting impression on our clients - and hopefully a good one!
Mature organisations that have come to terms with the realities of project delivery are requesting Pelicam’s unique brand of project assurance. An increasing proportion of our work is from companies that have realised assurance is better achieved (and cheaper in the long run) before a project loses its way having the many virtues of:
- Less pain
- Less cost
- Less time lost
- More success!
 Meet Bill McMillan
Bill is a Pelicam Managing Practitioner and has been working with Pelicam for the last 4 years.
We are delighted to announce that Pelicam are to become a fundraising partner for Lifelites.
Lifelites are the only UK charity that help children with terminal illnesses to enjoy their short lives to the full by providing a fully maintained technology package (eg. computers, network and specially adapted mouse controls) to 40 children’s hospices throughout the UK. Lifelites also offer training to the staff and maintain the equipment free of charge. Technology plays such an important part in these children’s lives helping them to communicate with their friends and family and to continue their studies. For further details on Lifelites, please visit their website on www.lifelites.org
We will keep you updated of the many fundraising events/activities in which you can become involved and other ways you may be able to help us make a world of difference to the lives of terminally ill children in hospices. I am sure you will agree that this is an exciting and rewarding prospect to see the tangible impact we could make as a result of our support.
 Date for your diary…
Our next evening networking event will be on Thursday 17th September in Central London – we will send out further details shortly.
