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.

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. Raphael Hamm Lead Mechanical Designer Pacific Rim Engineered Products Surrey - British Columbia
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! George Moen President BLENZ, The Canadian Coffee Company Vancouver - British Columbia
