Join the Major Projects Association
- The Major Projects Association cuts
across every business sector and every type of major project including
manufacturing, defence, IT, infrastructure, engineering, construction
and business change.
- Membership of the Association provides networking opportunities at
the highest level to develop and disseminate better practice in initiating
and carrying out major projects.
- It is run exclusively by its members and is paid for by means of
a single annual membership subscription, which covers the cost of attendance
at most of our events and programmes.
- Each year a number of events are held - most of these are confidential
problem solving seminars on current important topics selected by the
members.
- All seminars are written up in detail and the resulting confidential
seminar reports are made available to members via our website.
- Our Professional Development Programme offers opportunities for people at different points in their career to learn more about the particular challenges of working on major projects.
Graham Dalton, Chief Executive, Highways Agency on why they are members of MPA
"The Highways Agency is a major client for infrastructure investment in England, and probably the largest single public sector client for the wider construction industry. The Major Projects Association offers our staff the opportunity to meet and compare experiences with other major project organisations - clients, consultants, contractors - working in other industry sectors. We appreciate hearing of different approaches to common project problems, and we benefit from being part of a wider network of project professionals. At a practical level, the MPA's seminars provide unique learning and development opportunities for our project staff - seminars that are not part of a sales pitch, and where the lessons from mistakes are shared as willingly as the lessons from successes. Used wisely, MPA membership represents good value for money for training and development of project management staff, and a network of experienced project people that can lead to innovation and improved project performance."
