Theprogramme - ‘People Based Project Management’ (PBPM) - is intended forhealthcare professionals who are concerned that their organisation’s projectmanagement performance has not improved despite their staff receiving trainingon PRINCE2 project management techniques.   Amnis’ Mark Eaton commented: “PBPM came about because a number of NHSorganisations have invested in PRINCE2 but, as yet, have not seen much of areturn on their investment.   “This is because PRINCE2 is suitedto large scale projects while most NHS organisations tend to have lots of smallprojects. In addition, PRINCE2 does not really address the people issues thataffect the success of projects.”   Amnis’ PBPM programme provides anoverview of project management; reviews the project life cycle; explains how toplan and organise projects, manage risk and conflict, control and monitorprojects, manage change and project teams, influence stakeholders as well ascomplete and review projects.   The programme is relevant for allproject managers, irrespective of whether they have received PRINCE2 trainingor not. It is designed for those who have found themselves running projects and want to top uptheir knowledge as well as those who need to fill in the gaps in theirknowledge and practical skills relating to PRINCE2 techniques.   Deliveredby experienced project and programme managers using a combination of practical exercises,presentations and interactive discussions, the PBPM programme consists of threedays of training plus a post-training project. Course graduates receive on-goingtelephone and email coaching support as well as an endorsed certificate, CPDpoints and credits towards Amnis’ Lean Leader andPerformance Excellence training programmes.   Davinder Virdi, director of strategyat Amnis, observed: “PRINCE2 provides anexcellent methodology for project management but, in order for a project to be implementedsuccessfully, you also need people and management skills. Amnis’ three day PBPMprogramme focuses on these key areas.   “For large scale, high intensityprojects with a complex structure, such as the redesign of a new hospital,creation of an autonomous provider organisation ( APO )in primary care or similar, PRINCE2 provides a valuable structure. Yet mostprojects in healthcare are far less complex and rely far more on interactionsbetween individuals, a simple structure and effective management skills.”   “Amnis’ trainers can take complexconcepts and communicate them in a way that is both understandable and easy tograsp,” commented Bridget Fitzsimon, Quality & Professional StandardsManager, Addiction Service, at Wolverhampton City Primary Care Trust (WCPCT).“Students can take these concepts away with them and apply the practicalprinciples, methods and techniques immediately.   “The training providesstraightforward techniques which are necessary to make any project happen. Ifelt I could leave the training room and have a go at sorting out pretty muchanything,” she added.   F orfurther details of Amnis’ PBPM programme contact Amnis’ Ruth Bodman at ruthbodman@amnis.uk.com or call 0870 446 1002.   End     About Amnis Limited   Working withboth public and private sector organisations, Amnis is a consultancy whichspecialises in innovation, transformation and organisational improvement,helping clients plan and deploy strategies for successful transformation.
