IDC Tecnologies
IDC Technologies (formerly Instrument Data Communications) has introduced its latest workshop, "Practical project management for engineers and technicians". Project management can only be effective if the nominated project manager and people working on a project understand the critical factors for the successful achievement of project objectives. They must also have the practical skills necessary to control the project through the various phases.
This workshop provides the essential knowledge and practical expertise that will enable attendees to effectively apply current project management techniques to their engineering projects. They will gain an understanding of the relevance of the client organisation's culture and the means to develop an effective culture within the project team. They will learn the essential attributes of the project manager.
This two-day workshop culminates in a project planning session where participants working in small groups develop and document an outline project plan for a defined scenario.
The workshop has received excellent reviews overseas and attendance is expected to be high. IDC is offering a 5% early bird discount for all bookings received by 6 July 2000.
Dates and venues
Johannesburg: 17 & 18 July 2000 at the Best Western Premier
