Project Management

We have been extremely active over the past few years in training to support the use of project and programme management in policy-making and delivery, becoming one of the leading providers of this type of training. Our clients include:

Department of Health and Health Agencies such as MHAC.
Government Office West Midlands
Social Care Institute for Excellence,
Skills for Care (TOPSS),
Commission for Social Care Inspection
MOD Defence Aviation Repair Agency
Department of Culture, Media & Sports - Arts Division
Department of Transport - Transec

In total, over a thousand people have attended our workshops, ninety seven percent of whom rated the workshops as excellent or very good. Key points about our training are:

designed specially for policy and organisational projects
includes change management features
adapted to suit organisations' projects and style
a focus on the early stages of setting-up and organising projects
delegates use the approaches to plan their own real projects.

During these workshops, over two hundred real projects were scoped and planned, ranging from defined small projects (a recruitment exercise) to less defined major projects such as a new Bill or reorganisation.

To support such training, we have now developed our web-based Project Management Guide which can be viewed in the e-learning guides section, and which can be tailored to a client's particular needs.
