Projects are vital to all publishing organizations to move forward and implement change. Everyone gets involved in them!
Project Management for Publishing<http://www.alpsp.org/Ebusiness/Meetings/Meeting.aspx?ID=431> provides a template and many supporting tools that can be applied to all projects, large or small, to help ensure successful outcomes. It has a strong emphasis on getting things right at the outset because this is where most problems with projects arise. The programme is highly practical and includes break-out sessions using real project scenarios provided by delegates as well as providing publishing case studies as examples of what works and what doesn't. Follow up telephone and email consultancy support is also available.
