North West Branch Conference: Connecting projects and people

The North West Branch of the Association for Project Management are planning to continue the face-to-face Branch Conference series with a full day event in May 2023. 

Being a good communicator is a vital skill for a Project Manager as they bring together a wide range of knowledge and expertise to fulfil the project requirements and deliver the intended benefits.  

Interactive sessions will provide delegates with opportunities to contribute to important outputs from the day which may include potential solutions to their current problems.  

The day will bring together practitioners, employers, students, apprentices and academic staff and should be engaging to all those who have an interest in projects.

Objective of the Conference

The overall objective is to promote the Project Management profession with discussion and the interchange of ideas between different business sectors, academia & practitioners and those at different stages of their project management journey.

The opening plenary session will be an address by Mark Hepworth, the deputy CEO of the APM.

The venue provides:

• A large open area will be available for students to present & illustrate their present coursework.
• APM Corporate members to publicise opportunities for their Project Management apprenticeship schemes, other placements and to raise their profile in the North-West.
• Delegate networking.
• Keynote speakers.
• Challenging Interactive experiences.

imprend

Ever been the victim of dodgy or completely absent project handover? Teams, roles, responsibilities, processes, documents, stakeholders, events, milestones - just a selection of the many items to include in a handover, yet so often missed out. 

imprend structures knowledge transfer from leavers through a flowing interview, diving below the surface for tips and pointers that get new joiners up to speed fast. For those newly picking up the slack, interactive visuals and contextual search provide answers with minimum effort. 

With over 12% of staff leaving each year, costing thousands of pounds in reduced productivity while onboarding replacements, isn't it time we started structuring transition? 

Completely free to try for the first five handovers – use imprend for your next leaver and be left with the peace of mind to continue leading your team to new heights.
