		<description><![CDATA[I was doing some diary planning with our company’s Administration Manager, Alison Smith. We cantered through November and December and suddenly we were into 2010; where did the year go?

Finishing diary planning I started to reflect on the year so far. After a few quiet moments one aspect that came through was the obstacles companies put in the way of successful delivery of projects. They may not realise it but they are obstacles. I started to make a list:]]></description>

<p>As another year passes it is time to reflect on company success, or in some cases the obstacles companies put in the way of their success. The list includes:</p>
<li>No project management system and people can ‘do their own thing’…and no one does</li>
<li>Having overly-complex decision making processes</li>
<li>Large project boards</li>
<li>Ill-trained or no training</li>
<li>No ownership of project management</li>
<li>Several risk management processes within the business</li>
<li>Project managers having no authority</li>
<li>Training those who are not engaged in project work</li>
<li>Senior managers who fire off delivery dates and budgets, without any thought as to whether the project can be delivered</li>
