Free Project Management Event – Friday snippet


Project Challenge Expo 2012 is a bi-annual show for Programme, Project, Process and Resource professionals. Now housed at London’s Olympia Exhibition Centre – the show offers a range of presentations and a number of stands; exhibitors include software, training, recruitment, process, and membership bodies. For those who are keen to keep abreast of new methods and learn something through seminars – this is a must. It is one of very few free shows which is focussed on project management and is perfect for some networking too.

I shall be there – taking in a couple of presentations and checking out the new software on the market; feel free to come say hello and have a coffee with me!

 

Free Risk Management event – Every CIO’s Guide to Managing Risk

Hub Events are next week offering an opportunity for IT professionals in senior roles or IT service management, or who are involved in IT or software projects to join in a risk management seminar.

The free 2 hour seminar promises “to take an objective look at the risks associated with IT applications and software projects, and offers practical guidance on how you can reduce risks and maximise your chances of delivering business benefits.

It will provide you with an essential guide to the core principles of good risk mitigation for IT transformation programmes.”

When: 20 September 2012, 2pm – 4:30pm Manchester

Where: Manchester – Double Tree by Hilton

Case study examples will show how market leaders:

  • maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of application portfolios
  • manage the risk of legacy IT systems
  • reliably deliver the desired business outcome from software projects
  • ensure value for money from software development budgets;
  • realise the benefits of adopting an agile approach to enhancing and developing software.

“Practical sessions allow participants to gain a good understanding of how these principles can be applied in their own organisation. Attendees will go away from this event equipped with the know-how to address the key risks to IT systems performance and visibly improve the value IT delivers to their organisation.”

This should be an interesting event and a good opportunity for networking with likeminded professionals in the IT field around Manchester. I shall be there and I am particularly looking forward to the interactive sessions which I feel tend to be the most beneficial parts of such events.
