Leading successful projects
15 & 16 September, London
As libraries experience greater pressure to deliver more for less, there is
an increasing need to manage all kinds of change more effectively.
As a leader or sponsor of a project wishing to delegate the actual running
responsibility, you will need to ensure that right from the word go the
project is initiated, defined and structured in such a way to avoid changes
later that are unnecessary, costly and inefficient.
How will this event help you?
It will enable you to ensure your project is effectively delivered though
others ~(Project Manager and team) helping you:
* select effective project managers and project teams
* define roles and responsibilities more effectively
* improve your ability to recognise and reduce risks in projects
* ensure effective project definition, initiation and control
* communicate project aims and objectives in context
Features
Throughout the workshop you are encouraged to share case study material both
historical and live. The emphasis is on facilitated dialogue to establish
best practice that will be relevant to you.
Please note: This workshop is not for project managers.
