HOW TO COST NEW SERVICES AND/OR PROJECTS - NEW
4 & 20 July, London
Costing up the delivery of a new service can be a challenge. Sometimes it feels like going into the complete unknown! This programme seeks to help participants identify some of the things they already know from the wider delivery of other services and apply that existing knowledge to new situations. It will help people cost their time and evaluate if the new service takes off, when costs are likely to take sudden increases in their structure. It will help us to identify the costs associated with delivery at particular activity levels. It will answer the questions of how to cost new services like extra opening hours or the provision of a dedicated professional service for a certain clientele and is robust enough to be applied in all situations
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING
To develop participants skills and awareness of a range of techniques for developing costings of potentially new projects or initiatives.
BY THE END OF THE EVENTS PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
· prepared a project plan outlining key deliverables, success measures and the associated project budget
· calculated mid point scale hourly rates for key staff to be involved in their project
· evaluated why an analysis of fixed and variable costs can empower a library to resist the full weight of budget costs they may face
· judged when there are step changes in costing structures
· acquired the knowledge to use a range of incremental and zero based budgeting to establish staffing costs, materials and equipment costs and subsequent overheads/on costs
· evaluated the effect of activity changes on costing structures
SPECIAL NOTES:
In the interim period participants will be required to work on their own project plans. In the interim period participants will have worked on and developed: -
· Their own project plan, with milestones
· Component tasks and skills sets required
· Identified new and specific equipment and materials costs
· Staff salary data on mid point scale salary costs, superannuation rates and National Insurance employers' contributions costs.
