A New Zealand conference for a New Zealand audience

CC Learning is pleased to present the first ever New Zealand PRINCE2, Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) and Gateway conference. This one day conference will focus on how these methods are being implemented and used in practice, plus how they will change in the future.

The conference will feature leading UK consultant practitioners Rod Sowden and Andy Murray, lead authors of the official OGC manuals for PRINCE2 and MSP and experts in the PRINCE2 Maturity Model (P2MM) and Portfolio, Programme and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3). The agenda will include New Zealand case studies and an open forum.

Questions the conference will address:

• What are the key learnings from other organisations which have implemented PRINCE2 and MSP?
• What is new in MSP 2007 and what will change in PRINCE2 in 2009?
• What are P2MM and P3M3 and how do they help?
• How do Gateway reviews work, and what benefits do they provide?

Registration opens at 8:30 for a 9am start.

The conference will finish at 5:30, with optional drinks and dinner with the speakers in the evening from 5:30pm.

Managing Successful Programmes
Foundation and Practitioner delivered in four days by the lead author of the 2007 Manual. Course outline (PDF)

Andy has implemented PRINCE2 and MSP with clients across thirteen countries in Europe, Asia, North America, Africa and the Middle East over the last twelve years. He has consulted to high technology clients such as EADS Astrium, Sun Microsystems and Vodafone as well as government, healthcare, utilities and transportation clients.

Andy gained recognition from the OGC for leading the team that developed a local government Project Management Handbook – which has since been rolled out by many local authorities in the United Kingdom. Andy's publication on how to use P3M3 for performance improvement led to a role as a guest author to the OGC publication Get Best Practice.

Andy is currently leading a team of authors and industry professionals to completely rewrite the PRINCE2 manual (due for publication early in 2009).
