London 2012
 The bid for London 2012 was truly a once in a lifetime experience and the outcome was sensational.
But behind the scenes, the work of the bid needed to be structured into a series of discrete projects
with explicit outcomes and deliverables. Numerous teams were formed to ensure success for each project.
Each project was broken down into smaller elements with clear milestones. Progress had to be monitored
continuously. Many people were working in multiple areas with huge resource constraints. This presentation
outlines the approach taken and identifies, from a project management perspective, the numerous lessons –
both good and bad – from an unbelievably charged two years.
Our presenters are both experienced project managers. Chris Payne is a project manager with London 2012 and is
currently part of the transition team focussing on the diverse operational aspects of Olympic technology. He had a free ranging project management
function throughout the life of the bid, dealing with technology and medical services, the production
of the Candidate File, the IOC Evaluation Commission visit, the development of the VeloPark project
in the Lee Valley Olympic Park, and the International Relations effort in the final push to the vote in Singapore.
Mark Scholey is a project manager with the management consultancy firm, Accenture. Following Accenture's decision
to become a Premier Partner of the London 2012 Olympic Bid, Mark was seconded into the London
2012 team where his first responsibility was to manage the visit of the IOC Evaluation Commission
visit in February 2005. Following this role, he began working on transition activities from bid to operational
mode, a role in which he now continues. In this role, he is responsible for producing the integrated programme
plans and risk and issue management registers that are used to produce reports for the Olympic Board on
progress across the programme.
