Project Management Basics: A Hands-on Workshop forToday's "Instant" Project Managers

What's Different about the Session

It's CUSTOMIZED -- Our up-front planning session with your senior managementteam lets us build in your organization's issues, processes, and concerns!

It's IMMEDIATELY USEFUL -- Attendees are invited to bring their own projectconcepts and work in teams to develop "high resolution" project plans to take back to the job!

It RESPECTS THE WAY YOU DO PROJECTS -- "First do no harm" is the

approach... we build on what you are doing well and gently overlay "best practices" to help you develop more disciplined, effective PM approaches. Unlikemany consultants, we do NOT try to impose a particular project life cycle, set of

project steps, or one-size fits all PM methodology!

It has a TRACK RECORD of success in many different industries -- For more than20 years we've been getting great results with clients whose project teams werestruggling to produce web sites, software products, financial products, blood

products, native-driven ecotourism businesses, computer systems, securitysystems, deep space r Desearch, printing systems, medical products and services,

baggage expediting systems, and much more! (See client list .)

etailed Description

Project Management Basics is a two-day workshop developed and presented WhyYou Need This Workshop

Today, organizations are becoming more lean, trimming layers of middlemanagers and requiring specialists from marketing, engineering,

accounting, and other departments to work together in ad-hoc projectteams. Having no full-time, dedicated managers, these teams are often ledby one of these specialists who may excel at his or her specialty, but doesnot necessarily have management experience. Typically, such teamleaders must simultaneously make project contributions in their specialtywhile they try to manage the project.

These "instant" project managers need help defining the project; initiating,

planning, executing, and controlling project events; and figuring out how tobring project events to a timely conclusion. And they can't stop working for the many weeks it would take to acquire extensive management training.

This fast-paced, hands-on workshop is specially designed to meet the"instant" project manager's needs. It provides:

Basic project management (PM) principles and terms, reinforced with aself-check quiz

An easy-to-use set of tools (The Project Manager's Partner) to help newmanagers, step-by-step, plan and implement their projectsHands-on experience using these tools to plan a case study project or (optionally) an actual project as assigned by your organization

The opportunity for participants to create tangible PM work products whichare immediately usable to support their projects

Who Should Attend

Project managers who want specific tools and a proven strategy for planning and managing projects

Task specialists from any department who want to contribute moreeffectively as project team members

Supervisors of project managers who want to help their organizationsdevelop a consistent, proven method for planning and managing projects

What You Can Expect

This is an intensive, hands-on session to help you develop basic projectmanagement background knowledge and specific project planning skills.By using case study situations or one of your organization's preliminaryproject concepts, you will apply reference tools to define specific projectactivities by using a work breakdown structure (WBS), sequence thoseactivities in the form of a network diagram, create a schedule and costestimate, and detailed project budgets. You will also learn how to build abudget and spending plan, create a formal project communications plan,get organized to acquire staff, and identify potential risks to the projectplan, along with ways of minimizing these risks.

Training Approach

The training uses practical exercises that take individuals outside their comfortzones. By giving the participants help and guidance during the process, confidenceand skills are strengthened. We make the sessions challenging and practicalthrough the use of role-play, experiential learning and group exercises. Participantswill quickly discover their strengths and weaknesses in communicating withothers. Moreover, this interaction makes classes enjoyable and motivational.

The tempo of the training is light-hearted and fast-paced. Our experience suggests

that this makes people actually look forward to attending our training sessions andreinforces the motivational effects. Peer group pressure, structure and relaxedatmosphere are the key elements to the success of our courses.

RESILIENCY

CLIMATE CHANGE

At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland, participants in one session chose climate change as the issues that will have thegreatest impact in the coming years, and the one that the world is least ready for."Climate change is one of the greatest challenges that we face," said Ged Davis,Managing Director, World Economic Forum. "We need to bring governments andnon-state actors together to offer innovative solutions."

As Disaster Management professionals what can we do? What are the economiceffects? What type of planning should we be doing? What can we do, if anything,to influence politicians and business leaders?

Resiliency is the capacity for individuals, communities and business to be able to adopt and continuously evolve to thechallenges we face in our rapidly changing society.

The 18th WCDM will explore individual, community and business resiliency as well as how the three exist as one. Our speakers will take the complexity out of understandinghow resiliency plays an integral part of their operations.

PANDEMIC PLANNING

The threat of a pandemic is no longer the media darling, but we in the profession know it is still a major threat. With a recent outbreak of H5N1 strain of avian flu among poultry in England and continuing human deathsin Indonesia it is still an issue to be dealt with.

According to World Health Organization data, of the 113 cases of H5N1confirmed to date in Indonesia, 91 have been fatal. In 2007 alone, there have been72 confirmed human cases of Avian Influenza worldwide.

From Pandemic 101 to a more advanced approach to pandemic planning, the 18thWCDM will cover it all.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Take time to visit the poster presentations. During theconference, presenters will be located at their posters at predetermined times from Monday to Wednesday.

This will give you an excellent opportunity to review their work and network one-on-one with these presenters.
