2 Who Should attend? WHO SHOULD ATTEND The workshop is open professionals who are involved or who intend to be involved in projects, whether as project manager, project team member, planners or senior managers. The skills and techniques taught on this program are relevant to all sectors of business and government including services, engineering, social development and information management. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The need for project management is pervasive. It cuts across all the domains of the economy from government to mining, construction, financial services, IT and technology. Good project management lies at the heart of the effective delivery of most goods and services. Unfortunately the history of project management is not encouraging; the vast majority of projects either do not: Deliver within budget Deliver on time, or Deliver the promised performance. The problem does not lie in the state of project management knowledge. The profession has a comprehensive and well-articulated body of knowledge. The problem lies in adapting this body of knowledge to the characteristics and idiosyncrasies of the local project context and to interpret it in terms of local management knowledge and integrate it into organisational practices in practical ways. Much of the problem lies in the rigid and mechanistic ways in which many practitioners attempt to implement it. Good project management is more than a box of tools, it requires a project mind-set that is able to shape the project management body of knowledge to fit the local conditions and meet the needs of the project context.
