Help for people changing jobs or taking on new responsibilities

Two courses from Cambridge Network's Learning Collaboration coming up in June will provide valuable business skills to those who are taking on new or extended responsibilities in project management or finance.

Introduction to Project Management on 12th June is a one-day workshop aimed at people who need to understand the fundamental principles of project working, typically team members assuming some elements of project management in their day-to-day role or those who regularly participate in project teams. It assumes little previous project management knowledge.

The syllabus covers an introduction to project management, project life cycles, initiating and identifying the scope of a project, defining needs of stakeholders, developing a business case, creating a project and communications plan and establishing key success factors.

The workshop also covers the key roles of project team members, managing expectations of stakeholders (client) and others, whilst engaging motivations to deliver according to your plan. It will introduce some monitoring tools and techniques for project team meetings, managing change during a project and how to report on progress.

Finance for Non-financial Managers on 30th June is also a one-day course, this time designed to send you back into your business confident in your understanding and application of basic financial terms and concepts.

It assumes no prior knowledge and uses everyday terminology to dispel the mists put up by the financial world which perhaps encourage you to believe it is difficult – it isn’t; and what’s more, it can be fun!

You will leave with the ability to:
•Manage working capital and cash flow better
•Maximise profitability
•Read financial statements
•Interpret the figures
•Understand the jargon used in the financial world.
