Project Management Fundamentals Workshop

April 04, 2005

Training

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm delivering a two day project management process and methodology workshop to a group of environmental NGO leaders at the 215 Centre for Social Innovation next month. The details have been posted on the Sustainability Network site, but I'll post them here as well:

Project Management Fundamentals
Thursday, May 26 and Friday, May 27, 2005
215 Spadina Avenue (just north of Queen)
9:00am — 4:00pm, $120 per person

This training is designed for new project managers and for project team members. The workshop introduces participants to the discipline of project management and provides them with a set of practical project management tools and techniques they can immediately apply to the management of any project. Participants are taken through the complete project management process — from project initiation, to project planning, project execution, monitoring and control, and finally to project closure — and are instructed on the use of more than a dozen practical project management tools and techniques.

A binder of training materials is provided to each participant, including:

• A workbook of project management templates


• Printed copies of presentation slides, and


• A CD-ROM of presentation slides and project management templates

By the end of the workshop, participants will understand the benefits of managing projects in a systematic and disciplined way, and will have a working knowledge of project management tools and techniques they can immediately apply to their real life project work. The training will be given as a series of mini presentations explaining the theoretical value and practical application of the most important project management tools, followed by hands on exercises where participants have the opportunity to apply each tool to projects they are working on currently.

To register, send an email to Paul Bubelis and mail a cheque for $120 per person at least two weeks before the session. Please make cheques available to Sustainability Network and mail them to the Sustainability Network, 215 Spadina Ave. Suite 128, Toronto, ON M5T 2C7.

Attendance will be limited to representatives of environmental nonprofit organizations. Travel subsidies are available but must be arranged in advance with Paul.

Hope to see you there!
