The ultimate icon After almost three decades hosting Europe's most loved breakfast show, Sir Terry Wogan has moved on to a different slot. The 71-year-old Irish presenter will host a new two-hour show on Saturdays, which involves performances from an 11-piece band in front of a 350-seat audience.
During his time on Wake up to Wogan, Sir Terry was voted as the station's Ultimate Icon. He created an intensely popular show and generated fans across the nation Dalvin Cook Camo Jersey , whom he refers to as Togs (Terry's Old GeezersGals). During his final three months as host, Wogan accumulated a hard-to-beat average of 8.1 million listeners per week.
Industry experts believe that his successes as a presenter have much to do with his ability to talk about any subject and pull it off.
However, the show must go on and Britain's most adored radio station and its 13.47 million listeners have a new hero to make.
The road to Radio 2 The 43-year-old Christopher James Evans has made a name for himself in both television and radio over the last 27 years. Starting out at Piccadilly Radio in 1986 he moved on to stations such as BBC GLR, Radio 1 and Virgin Radio.
Evans did a series of television programs like The Big Breakfast on Channel 4 and OFI Sunday on ITV. He also managed to set up two production companies in this period, Ginger Production and UMTV.
Between 1996 and 2002 Mike Hughes Camo Jersey , Evans went from hosting successful shows and being acclaimed for it to someone who was synonymous with late-night boozing, skipping work and clashing with management.
After disappearing from the spotlight for a couple of years, Evans returned in 2005 and started to ease his way back into presenting at Radio 2. First as a stand-in on bank holidays, then in a permanent slot on Saturdays between 2 and 5pm before eventually landing the celebrated weekday Drivetime shows in April 2006.
Evans took over the Drivetime mic from long-time host, Johnnie Walker. The switch caused quite a stir Kirk Cousins Camo Jersey , with 1000 listeners complaining. However, by August 2006 RAJAR audience figures showed that Evans had attracted only 150,000 fewer listeners than Walker did on his last show. By October 2006, his audience was up 109,000.
In 2007 Adam Thielen Camo Jersey , Evans married golf professional Natasha Shishmanian and their son, Noah was born in 2009. Evans shared his personal experiences with his listeners and Lesley Douglas, former Radio 2 head, admires him for it.
"Chris Evans is a lesson in how to connect with people. His listeners lived through his wedding, his house move and the birth of his son - he shared his joy Sean Mannion Rush Jersey , and listeners responded," she wrote in the Guardian.
Last year Evans won two Sony awards, including Music Radio Personality of the Year.
And now, he finds himself hosting the best slot on the most popular radio station in the UK. Now, that's impressive.
On his first show Josh Kline Rush Jersey , Evans played Beatle classics and assured listeners that he is a new man.
"Buckle up now guys," he said. "But not too tight for it's going to be a long but pleasant ride. This time I can guarantee there will be very little, if any turbulence at all, but of course that doesn't mean we're not going to have fun."
Time Chris Evans isn't Terry Wogan. He doesn't have an Irish accent, he's not naturally funny and his voice doesn't soothe the soul in quite the same way. But he is quirky Dru Samia Rush Jersey , spirited and wildly entertaining. Let's give the man some time to warm up his seat and win our hearts.PRINCE2 is used to manage projects throughout the business world; but what is a project and what constitutes a successful project? This article will define a project, look at the characteristics of an unsuccessful and a successful project, and discuss briefly how PRINCE2 can benefit a business.
What is a project?
A project can be defined as "any outcome you're committed to achieving that will take more than one action step to complete," or "a project is a management environment that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to a specified business case."
To understand what constitutes a successful project, a lot can be learned by looking at the common reasons for an unsuccessful project.
Some common reasons for an unsuccessful project are:
Lack of management support - which can lead to insufficient funding and resources; senior management performance criteria is not linked with the project's criteria Alexander Mattison Rush Jersey , which can lead to conflict.
Resource conflicts - can mean there is a lack of dedicated team members in the project; key resources unavailable when required.
Lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities - can cause individualsteams to work inefficiently; deadlines are missed; resolution over issues is delayed; overall there is low morale within the project workforce.
Poor communication - lack of information passed to individualsteams can cause confusion within the project workforce; deadlines missed; concerns of stakeholders or team members not addressed.
Lack of leadership - can be caused by an inexperienced or an untrained project manager; lack of sustained leadership commitment; no clear goals, vision or strategy set; individuals are unclear how the project will alter jobs, processes, etc; there isn't any alignment of measurement and reward system with targeted outcomes.
