Prof. John Oliver (FMC) has been appointed to UK Parliament’s new Community of Practice (CoP) supporting the Centre of Excellence and Profession in Parliament’s Enterprise Portfolio Management Office (EPMO).

The EPMO is a bicameral team supporting the House of Commons, House of Lords and the Parliamentary Digital Service and members of the Community of Practice will help deliver on parliament’s Medium Term Investment Plan. Prof. Oliver will help improve programme and project planning and delivery across Parliament by sharing, advising, and mentoring on best practices and knowledge on leadership, management and organizational performance.

Prof Oliver commented that “this opportunity builds on the success of my recent Academic Fellowship with the Parliamentary Office of Science & Technology and provides a unique opportunity not only to share existing research knowledge for future REF Impact Case Study purposes, but, to co-create new knowledge to advance professional practice”.
