Delegate comments:
'This was one of the most useful, practical and relevant courses
attended.'
Emma Tennant, Royal College of Physicians
'Jim didn't just read through the notes, lots of discussion which was
interesting and the course notes will be useful for reference. Excellent
mix of lecture style time, discussion and group work. Ann's practical
experience and her input were really useful and interesting. Case
studies were good.'
Rachel Walker, Society for General Microbiology
'Good solid foundations with useful visuals and templates for organising
processes.'

overview of project management applicable to variety of situations.

in a number of areas of my job.'

interesting and useful - case studies were helpful too.'

material, embracing all necessary information. Great variety of theory,
practical tasks and case studies.'

typical publishing setting.'

Overview
Increasingly, project management techniques are being used by publishers
in order to handle change effectively. For example, moving a journal
from one typesetter to another, or planning a marketing campaign with
complex time-critical interdependencies are examples that will be
familiar. 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.
