Overview:
We live in a world where both the publication process and the overall publishing
environment are affected by constant change. Increasingly, project management
techniques are being used 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 of these cases
and many others, 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:
* The need for project management
* Project management overview, principles and life cycles
* Project management methods
* Publishing case studies
* Avoiding failure
* Managing change
* It's a team game - roles and responsibilities
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 organisation. It will also be suitable for those who are involved
in projects as team members.
