PRINCE2® project method | project risk management

Thank you for opting in to Inspirandum news updates at the end of your PRINCE2® course. We promised not to bombard you with email, and we haven't! But we are sending this now because we have three bits of exciting news!
Introducing ...

1 - a new project methodology
2 - a new PM course
3 - a new book

A new project method

Do you find PRINCE2® complicated to use with its overlapping processes? Hard to communicate to business people with complex terms like 'project assurance and 'configuration managment'? Then you might like to have a look at PRIME.

Nick at Inspirandum is co-author of this brand new 'next generation' method launched earlier this year.

PRIME moves on from older methods to:

• learn from the mistakes of previous methods
• focus on implementation, not process - PRIME stands for PRoject Implementation MEthod
• fill in the gaps, such as the lack of effective financial management in PRINCE2
• simplify the approach - it's easy to be complicated, but hard work to make things simple - and we've worked very hard!
• provide a simple basic approach with 'PowerPacks' to add on when, and only when, you need something more

We are excited that there has already been interest from outside the UK and we now have our first user in France!

if you are interested in finding out more, please have a look at the PRIME web site and download the flyer.

And we're still looking for more early adopters
at a very favorable licence rate

But even better news, ask about the additional discount for Inspirandum customers (that includes course delegates, even if you have now moved on to another organisation.)

A new - one day - project course

learn in a day | projects

Are training budgets tight in your organisation? But you still need projects and knowledgeable people to run them?

We've distilled the essentials of project management into a powerful one day course that can be delivered to your organisation 'on-site'.

It covers:

• Project set up
• Planning (including product planning)
• Control (including finance, change and progress)
• Risk and quality management

The day is very practical and the course is engineered for numbers up to 15, making the day particularly cost effective.

Call us now if it would help your organisation
where people don't need the full rigour of PRINCE2, just some down-to-earth, practical instruction. 01305 760069

A new book - Project Management for Dummies - and a compact edition

After the great success of PRINCE2 for Dummies, Nick was asked to adapt the American 'Project Management for Dummies' for the UK market. In fact, it resulted in re-writing about 80% of the book! Since publication it has sold very well. But the story continues.

WH Smith selected the book for a special 'compact' series of dummies guides to be put on wire display racks at airports and major stations. Sales have been so good that WH Smith are now extending the scheme to more airports and stations.

If you 'd like a read to 'top up' your project management skills, why not invest in a copy of Project Management for Dummies. You'll find a link straight to Amazon on the Inspirandum web site ... it's also available as a Kindle version.

And if you like it, then as with PRINCE2 for Dummies, we'd really value a positive comment on Amazon.
