Managing Small Projects - Training Workshop

 

 

Background

 

This is an updated -and improved- edition of the "Managing Internal Projects" workshop which Brian has presented, for the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME), multiple times across BC.  Enhanced features include an introduction to Lean-Six sigma

and Kaizen for progressive companies embarking on continuous improvement

initiatives.

 

As we move away from the mass production era, "flexibility" becomes the magic word in any self-adjusting operation. 

Flexibility necessitates the ability to "change" constantly and

rapidly by way of re-aligning  the business processes with the updated  value definition, as perceived by the customer.  Projects are the means of making these changes  happen, thus increasing customer delight.

 

Today's healthy organizations constantly bread new ideas

and creative solutions which must be examined, funneled through

and eventually processed into actionable projects. These

project consume precious resources and merit professional attention.

 

Looking closer, there are always many small-to-midsized projects floating around us which have either been engaging resources

for quite some time or are undergoing endless development. We often

neglect the need of identifying

and controlling these projects properly. 

 

Modern organizations can benefit enormously from acquiring project management capacity.  Such capability makes tangible improvement

in achieving goals, outcomes

and deliverables in a much more objective and decisive way.

 

This training workshop is

designed to provide the participants with the working knowledge they need to take

a small-to-midsized project, from its inception to a happy closure.  The workshop is rich on steps, tools, techniques, templates and best-practice tips. We will not overburden the participants with theories and abstract material which may be of little relevance

to managing small projects.  References will be offered to

those interested to learn more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MSP is a high-impact workshop of

one day, also known as

Project Management Light

because everything covered here is readily applicable to large projects too.

 

The workshop streamlines the approach, organize thoughts and

offers the management techniques needed to turn a good idea into a job well done!

 

Highly recommended to those who engage in creating value through:

Custom design-build contracts,

Design & delivery of services,

Continuous improvement,

Facility upgrades and expansion,

Layout design and modification,

Building new processes,

Product or service development,

Strategic plan deployment, and

Missions or Special Assignments.

 

Feedback

 

I attended a CME one-day

Project Management Workshop facilitated by Plantek.  I found Brian's knowledge and  presentation of the subject matter to be thorough, clear, and well grounded in real-world experience. Based on this workshop,

I would not hesitate to recommend Brian and Plantek for project management training.

Recently we found Brian's course has been a great help in improving our

store sales process (BLENZ Coffee).  There are a lot of details in transferring our stores between owners during a sale and Brian's training has been invaluable in improving our internal processes.  Brian is a pro and I have

no problem recommending him to the network.....Great Job!
