Tutor: <http://www.alpsp.org/ngen_public/article.asp?aid=1260> Jim Russell,
Project Management Consultant
Delegate feedback:
This was a great introduction to PM within publishing. The industry based
examples really helped to make this relevant, Claire Rawlinson, Royal
Society
A really good intro to project management. The course has given me a lot to
think about, and put into practice. All sessions were very useful. Very
useful material provided. Both tutors were engaging, enthusiastic and
knowledgeable, Clare Jeeves, BSAC
Overview: Project management techniques are being used increasingly by
publishers in order to handle change effectively. For example, moving a
journal (or group of journals) from one typesetter to another, or planning a
marketing campaign with complex time-critical interdependencies are examples
that will be familiar to those working in publishing. In both cases, project
management techniques can be employed to ensure a successful outcome. The
course will demonstrate, through the use of case studies, how to apply
effective project management techniques within publishing.
Programme:
- Project management applied to publishing
- The principles of project management
- Project management methodology
- The life of a project
- Project management roles
- Avoiding project failure
- Measuring success
Learning objectives: By the end of the course delegates will be able to:
Appreciate the benefits of a project management approach when introducing
change; understand the principles, tools and techniques of project
management; be able to apply the skills learned through practical exercises;
be aware of the importance of personal and cultural factors in effective
management of change.
Who should attend: The course will help first line managers and others
responsible for handling change in any area within an organization. It will
also be suitable for those who are involved in projects as team members, for
whom a understanding of the processes involved will increase the
effectiveness of their input.
