Workshop Background

The project management in practice workshop is based on our successful project management work and experience with Australian defence, engineering, resources, mining and commercial technology and service companies around Australia including Pilatus Aircraft, BAE Systems, Babcock, ASC Ltd, Telstra Defence, Trility Water (ex United Utilities Australia), General Motors Defence, Saab Systems and others;
large and small. 

The workshop program generally follows the contents and processes of the successful 
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) adapted and used over several years by the workshop presenter.  It has been adapted to suit the particular project management needs of engineering, maintenance, service and support companies in all areas of Australia.  This workshop and the accompanying coaching and mentoring will enhance and build your company’s major project capability.

The workshop leader has successfully applied the PMBoK and related PM techniques and practices included in this workshop to successfully manage a range of projects over many years.  His PM roles
have included diverse technology projects, infrastructure projects, maintenance support and engineering projects and service contracts across several industries including maintenance, construction, water, logistics, professional services and defence. 

Who Should Attend?

Anyone involved in planning and delivering projects.

These workshops and coaching sessions are specifically designed for:
Company Owners, Managers, Directors, CEOs, Project Managers, Operations, Engineering and Technical Leads, Procurement, Commercial and Finance Managers; and others  involved in or becoming involved in planning and delivering new projects.  In fact, a company will receive most benefit if several people from the one company attend the workshops together, so they can work as a team during and after the workshop on a real company projects.

Workshop Style

We use an interactive presentation and workshop style and attendees are
encouraged to actively develop some of the key topics and activities further with
their own project information.  These activities can be done either individually
or as small groups (the latter is often best).  Workshop attendees will
receive pdf versions of the workshop materials (presentation slides,
checklists and forms) suitable for each attendee’s use during and after the
workshop.
