With a focus on the steps required to scope, plan, implement and evaluate marketing projects, it also provides the grounding required to deliver on time and within budget. We also consider the human factor, encouraging the project manager to gain cooperation and mutual accountability within the project team. You will understand the key stages of project management and your responsibilities to both stakeholders and your team. You will gain confidence in the process to deliver projects on time and within budget. You will understand how to unite your team and work together to perform efficiently and cost-effectively. For the organisation this means better project control and delivery, and confident marketers who take the inevitable challenges of project management in their stride. This workshop provides the perfect introduction to project management for marketers and those who operate in other areas of their organisation. It is therefore suitable for anyone who is new to marketing or project management and would like some formal training to help build skills and confidence. ß Understand what it really means to be a project manager and why it is an essential skill for the ambitious marketer. ß Understand how personal efficiency is a big contributory factor to successful project management. ß Scope a project and set realistic objectives while managing stakeholder expectations. ß Plan a project and prioritise all the tasks within the plan. ß Implement the project plan and organise your team to work to deadlines. ß Work with the team to get the best out of people so that they understand the role they are playing and the accountability they have to the team. ß Understand why evaluation is so important.

It will help delegates to turn marketing data into information. This process can act as a template for assessing new business opportunities, and help to discriminate between alternative strategies. You will learn how to take the raw materials of business data and turn them into real business intelligence. You will learn by doing, using best practice examples and scenarios, so that you can do it for yourself when you go back to the workplace. Your organisation will get the benefit of investments already made in data collection and market intelligence, by making them more usable. If used effectively, the toolkit should lead to significant performance and profit improvements. A greater understanding of objective assessment tools will lead to sharper strategic focus. This course is designed for marketers who are moving into positions in which they will be expected to demonstrate increasing strategic awareness, and for existing marketing managers who want to have an objective process for deciding between alternative opportunities. This workshop is a foundation course, and is intended to be self-sufficient, demanding no prior in-depth working knowledge of strategic marketing frameworks. ß Learn the definitions of each tool what it is, and what it does. ß Use the main steps of the strategic marketing process in a logical and prioritised way. ß Appreciate the importance of interpreting the statements companies make about themselves. ß See the importance of risk analysis and scenario planning in every area of the business. ß Understand what parameters might be important for your company, and learn how to rank them. ß Put the steps together in the right sequence. ß Present findings as an effective decisionmaking tool for senior management. Delivery style is interactive. All the tools and frameworks are explained, and then each component will be practised, sometimes individually, sometimes in groups. Contributions from delegates, especially experiences from the field, are warmly welcomed. 2011 14 October 2012 16 March 08 June 26 October ß Business Maths for Marketers (p93) www.cim.co.uk/1304 Unless you understand the financial side of the business, you re unlikely to make it to top management.
