Modernising defence through projects, with Army Portfolio Director Kris Baldy - a podcast by APM, the chartered body for the project profession

Professor Adam Boddison (APM Chief Executive) in conversation with Kris Baldy, Army Portfolio Director at the UK Ministry of Defence.

Kris shares his journey through the ranks of the civil service, including his rise from admin assistant to portfolio director, and how he, in his own words, "stumbled into project management".

Projects and programmes, Kris says, are central to tackling the main challenges facing the Army, including the modernisation of vital equipment. None of that is possible without a pipeline of talented project professionals entering the Ministry of Defence, and Kris tells Adam about the department’s approach to growing and developing its project talent base, while reminding us that you don’t have to be in uniform to deliver projects in the Army.
