PPSOSIG CONFERENCE

Sweating Your PPSOs Assets How do you get best value out of what you already have?




Successful PPSOs all have one thing in common – they know what their assets are and they really know how to work them for the benefit of the individuals who work within them, the programme and projects they support and the organisation they’re a part of. So will PPSOs continue to sweat their assets to extract the best possible service offerings in these belt tightening, credit crunch, recession fearing times?

In this 14th conference, held by the Programme and Project Support Specialist Interest Group at Aston University, delegates will be taken through the most valuable assets their PPSO has and learn more about how they can get the most value out of what they already have without the need for extra spend and resources.

Presentations, workshops, networking and Q&As concentrating on the four main assets of infrastructure, skillsets/knowledge, personal skills and information, will give delegates a whole host of new ideas to take away and implement. And that’s not all, previous delegates found that “the sharing of experiences, etc. from a wide range of different organisations” was invaluable and “meeting like-minded people & having relevant, realistic discussions” were just as important as the presentations

The full agenda includes;

- Physical Assets - PPSO Physical Resources and Infrastructure
- Personal Assets - Personal Skills Inventory
- Skills and Knowledge Assets – Risk Identification and Management, Earned Value and Configuration & Change Management
- Information Assets – Managing Information – Sink or Swim
- Future Assets – What’s on the horizon for PPSOs

Presentations by Andy Murray, lead author for the PRINCE2 refresh, Adrian Wilson, lead trainer for CITI his specialisms include PRINCE2 and APM, John Zachar, Principal Consultant, years of experience in delivering consultancy and training in PPSOs and Graham Shreeve, Target Practice, professional training and experienced coach.
