OVERVIEW

About the event

Project & Programme Management 2010 is a one day conference and exhibition for senior professionals from the public sector with the responsibility for projects and programmes across the UK.

The event will offer speeches on the future direction of project and programme management and feature case studies of successful projects from across the public sector, including the NHS, criminal justice and local government. These practical sessions, detailing exactly what has been done and how, will provide delegates with the opportunity to adopt certain practices into their own work.

Lead authors Rod Sowden, Andy Murray and Sue Vowler will also be on hand to take delegates' questions.

About the sector

Billions of pounds are spent every year by government departments on large-scale projects, ranging from IT to transport and infrastructure undertakings. It is the strategic programme management teams that are tasked to safely deliver these schemes on time, to the desired standard and within budget.

Effective projects are dependent on good communication and efficiency at all stages, aiming to reduce costs, time and risk.

But too often we hear of badly administered projects running late and over budget. In this post-recession period, overruns ought to be less common and considered more unacceptable, whilst greater transparency should highlight where projects are failing and help to bring them back in line.

Benefits of attending

Participants at the event will gain an insight into how to best deliver successful projects on time and within budget, and will be able to forge valuable working links with fellow attendees, enabling the sharing of knowledge and best practice.

With highly regarded speakers, breakout sessions from key solution providers demonstrating the latest methodologies, training and technology, and evidence-based examples from leading lights of the public sector, Project & Programme Management 2010: Managing Effective Projects is a must-attend event for individuals and teams.
