Project Management
A powerful and systematic model to plan and organise projects
This programme enables you to plan and manage projects so that results are delivered to schedule and specification. You leave with a thorough grounding in =mc's Systems Model. This model, unlike PRINCE 2 and other frameworks, is specifically designed for the not-for-profit environment and is adaptable to any project – short or long-term, simple or complex.
| Using =mc's Systems Model for Project Management is now second nature, particularly for planning to tight deadlines and dealing with unexpected challenges. The idea that 'there is no such thing as a bad idea' during intial brainstorming sessions has been quite liberating – I have the confidence to come up with solutions I would never have suggested before.
