Project management consulting and training for social change organisations.

In early February I get to deliver another installment of Project Management for NGOs for the APC — this time at a regional staff meeting about an hour outside of Cape Town, South Africa at the Stanford Valley Guest Farm. There'll be a number of APC folks at the meeting who received the same training last year, so I'll get to spend a day with them as well, talking through their experiences as they've applied the processes and tools covered in the training to their actual project work, and about how those processes and tools might be "integrated" into the project management tool the APC is currently building in Plone.
Needless to say I'm giddy with excitement once again!

My friends at the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) are looking for a brilliant individual or outstanding small team in Toronto to manage the user acceptance testing, training and roll-out of a grants management system I helped them define the requirements for a little while back.
This is a dream job — from the attached RFP (emphasis mine):
The RFP: 
CBCF Project Manager (45 KB)
The deadline for response is Friday, February 2 at 5:00pm EST and the rest of the submission details are in the document. This is a hugely exciting opportunity — I'll be very interested to follow the progress made :)

As a follow-on to the work I did with Amnesty last year, I'm very excited to report that Important Projects has now been awarded a contract to manage "IMPACT," an information architecture, content management and e-communications project soon to be kicked-off by the International Secretariat's Internet and E-Communications Programme (IEP).
We're still in the process of coming to agreement on the particulars, but the high-level deliverables of the project will be a re-architected amnesty.org, the implementation of an open source CMS (very likely to be Drupal) and the implementation of an open source CRM (very likely to be CiviCRM).
I'll post more soon — I'm hoping to be as transparent with this work as I've been able to be on the Greenpeace UK CMS project :)
