I'd like to say a quick thanks to the Sustainability Network and to the 25 environmental NGO leaders who participated in Project Management Fundamentals at the 215 Centre for Social Innovation last week. I had a great time meeting you all, learning about your programs and projects, and discussing the ways in which taking a more disciplined, structured approach to project management can help you meet your organizational objectives.

Please feel free to keep in touch as you apply the tools and techniques we covered to your day-to-day project activities — I'm anxious to hear your success stories :)

Important Projects to Present at 10th Annual Tools Conference for Not-for-profits

May 07, 2005

Conferences | Training

I've been invited to present at Tools 2005, a one-day conference for not-for-profit organizations to be held Tuesday, May 31 at Ryerson University. My workshop is one of the morning sessions — hope to see you there!

What is Project Management and Why is it Important?
Tuesday, May 31, 2005
International Conference Centre
Ryerson University
240 Jarvis Street (north of Dundas)
9:15am — 12:15pm

Organizations perform work, work that involves either operations or projects. Operations and projects share many characteristics, but are also very different. What are those differences and why are they important for non-profit organizations to understand? What exactly are projects and why should they be managed in a systematic and disciplined way? In this workshop, we'll answer these questions, and discuss how taking a disciplined, systems approach to project management doesn't need to create overhead costs or require time you don't have, but can help you achieve the strategic goals of your organization.

Register for the conference before May 18 and save $25!
