**Apologies for cross posting** PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR PUBLISHING<http://www.alpsp.org/Ebusiness/Meetings/Meeting.aspx?ID=387> Wednesday 21 May 2014 41 Portland Place, Academy of Medical Sciences, London, W1B 1QH Projects are fundamental to all publishing organisations. Everyone gets involved in them. They may involve developing new products, new processes and systems, adopting new technologies, reaching new markets, acquiring new business, selecting new suppliers or improving existing processes. Projects are also challenging and often fail to achieve the desired results. This course 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 course tutors are practising project managers with a wealth of experience from the publishing sector. 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. It provides an excellent introduction for those new to taking responsibility for projects as well as a great refresher for those facing new project challenges. Follow up telephone and email consultancy support now available. DELEGATE COMMENTS 'The combination of methodology, theory and case studies was really useful. Thank you! ' Emma Bohan, School of Advanced Study 'I found it useful and helpful and applicable. ' Zoe Holman, School of Advanced Study 'I feel I learned a lot but was not overwhelmed with new information. The handouts will be great to refer back to following the course. A lot was covered during the day, at the right pace. ' Merryn Smit, Oxford University Press 'I found the level to be ideal - gave me a good overview and I felt I could grasp the concepts discussed.
