Centres of excellence club

CITI facilitates a 'Centres of Excellence Club' - known as the CofEe Club. This is an invitation-only, membership-based network of like-minded professionals, of senior individuals with responsibility for projects, programmes and portfolios in their organisations.

Each quarter, a member organisation hosts a workshop at which a current hot topic is discussed, and best practice, experiences and concerns are shared. 

White papers are often prepared and distributed to members following a meeting. Previous meeting topics have included: organisational culture and acceptance to change, requirements management, benefits management, development frameworks, agile project management and project complexity.

The next meeting will be held on the 1st October 2010 at Coutts & Co, 440 Strand, London, WC2R 0QS. This is the third CofEe Club meeting hosted by Coutts. An exclusive Archives tour of their prestigious head office has been arranged for members on the day.

The topic is Seeing beyond the trees.

According to Tom Clancy, the author, the difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense! The visibility of many corporate portfolios sits closer to fiction than reality. The question to be addressed in the meeting is how does senior management gain the visibility it needs to successfully manage the portfolio to ensure it is aligned with the strategy and delivers the value expected.
