😎 😎 😎 Steve Jenner 😎 😎 😎
Steve Jenner started his career in the UK Civil Service, where he worked there from the early 80s to 2011, rising to senior roles in the Home Office and Cabinet Office, among others.

He was Director of Criminal Justice IT, one of the largest IT-enabled business change programs in Europe. While heading the £2bn Criminal Justice System IT Portfolio, Steve led the design, implementation, and operation of the CJS IT approach to Portfolio & Benefits Management.

This led to him working on the development of Project Portfolio and Benefits Management for the Cabinet Office.

After leaving the Civil Service, Steve has written and taught extensively. He co-wrote Management of Portfolios for OGC/Axelos, and was Chief Examiner for MoP until 2015.

Steve has been working with APMG. He wrote, and is Chief Examiner for, Managing Benefits and their new Managing Portfolios book and certification (2024).


🎒 A while back, I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list.
