Grahame Godding BSc, FAPM

A retired Project & Programme Manager of 39 years standing.

Fortunate enough to have been directly involved delivering some iconic major transportation infrastructure projects.

I became a Member of The Association for Project Management (APM) in October 1986. Shortly after being appointed to my first Project Manager role with London Underground Ltd.

In 1994 after a seven year spell on The Channel Tunnel Project I returned to London Underground and with good fortune worked alongside what I like to call my ‘Yellow Jersey Team’. Delivering portfolios of projects across the Underground Network.

Over the span of my career my influencers encouraged me into process development and business change. This included periods developing Railway Safety Cases and even some legal work.

2007 was a life changer for me.

  • On the plus side on 31st October 2007 at the APM Conference in London; as APM Sponsor; I launched the APM Knowledge guide ‘Models to Improve the Management of Projects’ (M2iMP). A comparative assessment of the (then) six most popular project Capability, Maturity and Excellence
  • On the downside my life changed As a result of intense and sustained stress I fell seriously ill and was diagnosed BiPolar.

This debilitating mental condition hampered my subsequent career development. That is until in now. June 2022

There is one intervention by a hospital orderly in 2007 that saved me. I was shown a ‘Stress versus Vulnerability’ Model. Drawing on my experience of Models and Project Management I worked tirelessly to overcome my illness and develop a new phase of my life.

  • I am not a Psychiatrist –
  • I am a Project Manager (my peers will decide)
