Hi Straight Up Again.
I have seen a few gripes from DMO sources regarding military representative posting turbulence but ponder whether this might just be deflecting criticism regarding some of the ill-managed projects.
I cannot recall changeover of particular project officers being much of a problem when the armed forces managed their own projects. Pretty easy to arrange say a couple of months overlap where there are no subordinate continuation staff.
Methinks there would be a simple solution if the military resumed responsibility for project management with DMO cells embedded in the respective service headquarters. Simply invite military retirees to involve in projects as there are thousands just annoying their wives and itching to do something constructive. I drink beer with many in their late 80s who are still sharp as a tack and this invaluable national resource should not be wasted.
An outside the square solution I know, but it seems to me the problem is easily solved with some flexible thinking.
