Today's Saturday Brunch interview I am talking Bollocks with Susie Palmer- Trew and Peter Taylor as I get the inside track on their new book Project Management: It's All Bollocks! where two people who vaguely know each other and barely like each other will pick over the sadly inadequate body of knowledge that is project management today, and generally challenge just about everything.

 The authors offer up a selection of seven cracking ideas, that when applied to a project environment will ultimately result in you being a good manager of projects in this modern world of business complexity." 

Susie is the has recently been described as a change-shaker which she quite likes it.she is also a mega keen first-time author. Genuinely really good at leading, landing and managing change, but without bravado and consultancy bullshit.  Last year she was awarded the inaugural PMI UK Young Project Professional 2019.
