Managing Successful Programmes (MSP™)

OVERVIEW

This event provides those responsible for managing programmes with a structure which will help them towards delivering the business benefits sought. This event can be attended to complete the Foundation and Practitioner Examinations.

Programme Management brings together related projects to manage their interdependencies. The OGC's "Managing Successful Programmes" method provides and maintains a strategic view over the set of projects, aligning and co-ordinating them within a programme of business change in support of specific business strategies. Programme Management provides the framework for implementing business strategies and initiatives, or large scale change, where there is a "vision" of the programme's outcome - a transformed organisation for example. The path to achieving the vision may deviate and change direction. The vision itself may require adapting as work progresses and individual projects orbit around their approved plans. Programme Management helps to organise, manage, accommodate and control these changes so that the eventual outcome meets the objectives set by the business strategy.

DESIGNED FOR:

Any organisation or individual seeing the need for a controlled approach to managing its programmes. The event is suitable for programme managers, experienced project managers, programme support team members and senior managers from any discipline. The OGC Managing Successful Programmes method is flexible and adaptable for any type and size of programme where a business "vision" is the required outcome. This Ergo OGC/APMG accredited course is run over 5 days on a regular basis in Newcastle and Edinburgh, and is delivered under licence from SPOCE Project Management Ltd. The event may also be delivered at Clients' own sites.

APPROACH:

The course is a mixture of input and practical sessions, delivered by an APM Group approved trainer with practical experience of programme and project management. Practical sessions will be on an individual and team basis, with focus on the Practitioner Examination which is held on the final day. All Delegates receive a copy of OGC's "Managing Successful Programmes" and specially written Event Preparation software ("VisaVision") on CD-ROM. Pre-course preparation material is provided to ensure all Delegates get the maximum benefit from the training event.
