'Project Management' 


Peter Flett, Management & Organisation

 

Cottrell 2V2, 2pm - 4pm - note this is a change from the previously
advertised venue

22nd November 2005 

 

Project management is essential both to the individual worker planning
his own work and the multinational company developing new production
facilities for the next century. The first stage is to examine the
possible projects, estimating their costs, benefits and risks. The best
options are then analysed in more detail: their costs, time schedules
and resource implications are all assessed. Alternative project plans
are considered and the best plan is implemented. Throughout the project
the manager must keep control of the schedule, cost and technical
quality to ensure successful completion on time and to budget.

This session will introduce the basic steps required to begin the
process of commercialisation.  Some of the issues covered will include:
-

 

*	It's my idea and therefore I'm entitled to the profit.
*	Is there a market for this research/product/service?
*	Who owns the IP (Intellectual Property)?
*	To patent or not to patent?
*	In what way(s) can the University help me?
*	Banks - who needs them?
*	I'm a scientist - not a businessperson!
*	What is a business plan anyway?
*	This product will market itself!
*	The importance of the right team!

Find out the answers to these questions, explore these statements and
take your first steps towards making your research pay!
