About the Course:

Managing Business Change:
All organisations and companies undergo continuous change and improvement as a natural process. Programmes represent major change. They are complex, difficult and carry substantial risk. Programme Management provides a framework for managing such change. It provides a sound basis for managing collections of related projects that deliver change and benefits to the business. Programmes involve many parts of an enterprise and a great deal of valuable resources. The impact of not managing them successfully could be considerable. Programmes require effective management to be successful.

This workshop is designed to build upon the learning outcomes achieved at Foundation and Practitioner levels and, hence, facilitate the achievement of the learning outcomes at Advanced Practitioner level, identified in the MSP™ 2007 syllabus, published by the APM Group Ltd.

Course Objectives:
To develop the delegate’s practical understanding of the OGC (Office of Government Commerce) approach to Programme Management (as documented in the book, Managing Successful Programmes 2007 edition) by practising essential aspects against a realistic scenario and relating them to actual experience.

To provide delegates with the opportunity to sit the MSP™ 2007 Advanced Practitioner Examination.

Who will the course benefit?
Programme Managers, Programme Directors, those managers involved in Business Change, Programme/Project Support staff and Project Managers who will undertake roles in Programmes.
