Overview
Projects are the driving force behind progress in publishing organizations, enabling everything from new product development and system implementations to market expansion and process optimization. While essential for growth and adaptation, projects are challenging and often struggle to deliver the desired results.
This popular course provides those managing and working on projects with an overview of principles, alongside several templates and supporting tools that can be applied to most projects, regardless of scale. You'll explore the specific challenge points that publishing projects commonly encounter and develop strategies to navigate them effectively. The course explores common challenge points, particularly for projects in our industry and has a strong emphasis on how to be successful in project management, even when your project does not go to plan.
Who should attend?
The course is designed for both first-time project managers and experienced practitioners looking to refresh their knowledge and reflect on their practice within the unique context of our industry. It is also valuable for those who are involved in projects as team members. The course is relevant across all functions and disciplines within any publishing organization, ranging from large publishing groups to smaller society publishers. It is not aimed at those looking to deep-dive on specific project methodologies.
What will you learn?
To appreciate the benefits of a common sense approach to projects; to feel confident in choosing the best approach for any given project; to make new projects achievable and manage them with confidence; bring struggling projects back on track; be aware of the ‘people’ and related ‘change’ factors that can undermine projects and how to manage them; bring together cross-discipline teams to achieve success; make a bigger difference!
