I have just completed my first PRINCE2 Training Course in New Zealand.  I lived in Auckland for 8 years and have married a Kiwi. So it’s always good to visit “my second home”.

The course was actually in Wellington, which is a very pleasant city although I recommend that you undertake professional endurance training before attempting the steep hills carrying  a laptop and a full compliment of PRINCE2 manuals and course materials.

As always, the highlight for me  of the 5 day PRINCE2 training course was the opportunity to discuss the projects with my clients. As has become increasingly common, what started as a conversation about pure project management quickly veered into people and change management. This once again shows how PRINCE2 and Change Management Training are very complementary.

I recommend a stroll down Cuba St on a sunny  Saturday morning, but an enduring memory will be the sublime fish and chips in the clients’s staff canteen at Friday lunchtime. Access is through security gates so it is not possible for many people to experience this, but if it were publicly available it would probably win international awards.
