Are you involved in managing projects? Then you can't afford to miss:
Managing successful projects
A two day workshop on 12 & 13 April, Library Association HQ, London
As library and information services experience greater pressure to deliver
more for less, there is an increasing need to manage all kinds of change
more effectively...
...which may mean that as a manager you are involved in having to manage a
wide range of projects, whether it's:
* changes in systems and processes
* restructuring departments
* designing and building a new library raising the profile of your
services
* launching a new service or publication
* revising the image of a library...to name but a few
How will this event help you?
The workshop will improve your approach to managing projects, helping you:
* define and specify your projects accurately
* plan and resource projects effectively
* execute your projects successfully
To help you do this the workshop offers:
* a standard framework for designing and planning projects
* practical tools with a wide application
* improved ability to recognise and reduce risks in projects
* ideas for presenting your project plan to sponsors and stakeholders
Features
You will be able to work on your own project during the programme looking at
specific issues.
