...include short courses in project management fundamentals, project planning and control, project finance and budgeting, and project risk and quality management. As with other classes and boot camps, the project management courses are designed to help those with little experience in project management gain an intermediate understanding of what it takes to manage a project effectively. Since Big Apple Executive Training has already established a presence in the training market, the marketing plan for a new course rollout will focus on the pricing, promotion and place of our new courses. Although Big Apple Executive Training already offers an extensive line of high quality management training courses and boot camps, it has become apparent that the company is missing an area that is desired by our core customers. Over the next year, Big Apple Executive Training will start offering a new suite of courses that focus on project management. Since Big Apple Executive Training already provides high end courses at a reasonable price, the biggest challenges will be separating our products from those offered through PMI New York City and New York University’s Stern College of Business. Target Customers Big Apple Executive Training will focus on the small business and entrepreneur segments for these courses. Although Big Apple Executive Training can handle larger corporations and government agencies, most already have dedicated project managers that have their Project Management...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION : 1.1 Definition Terry has defined planning in terms of future course of action. He says that: “Planning is the selection and relating of facts and making and using of assumptions regarding the future in the visualization and formalization of proposed activities believed necessary to achieve desired result”. A plan is a blueprint for goal achievement that specifies the necessary resource allocations, schedules, tasks, and other actions. A goal is a desired future state that the organization attempts to realize. Goals are important because an organization exists for a purpose, and goals define and state that purpose. Goals specify future ends; plans specify today's means. The word planning incorporates both ideas: It means determining the organization's goals and defining the means for achieving them. Planning allows managers the opportunity to adjust to the environment instead of merely reacting to it. Planning increases the possibility of survival in business by actively anticipating and managing the risks that may occur in the future. In short, planning is preparing for tomorrow, today. It's the activity that allows managers to determine what they want and how they will achieve it. Not only does planning provide direction and a unity of purpose for organizations, it also answers six basic questions in regard to any activity: • • • • What needs to be accomplished? When is the deadline? Where will this be done? Who will be responsible for it? •...

...Project Management Concepts and Applications Paper Business Management Research Associates (BMRA) teaches Defense Acquisition University (DAU) and Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) certified courses and elective courses to various agencies worldwide. While BMRA is quite a small company, there is always a need for project management. I have not always been able to lead the projects; I have been a part of the project team to get the work completed, more like an assistant to the project manager. A project that falls under this scope is the one involving the DAU/FAI certification of course materials. The DAU/FAI certified courses offered by BMRA are set to expire this year on September 30, 2015. From October 1, 2015 forward, the expired courses are not valid for credit for students. DAU replaced the expired courses with new ones. The project’s primary goal is completing the certification process for all the required courses before the September 30, 2015 deadline both within time and budget for the company. The DAU/FAI certified courses are BMRA’s primary source of revenue, therefore making this project of the utmost importance. The courses affecting BMRA are listed in the chart below.

But sustaining the growth of these dynamic private companies -- typically with revenues of $10 to $100 million -- requires a unique set of skills, different from those required in either startups or large public companies. Many promising growth companies stall as their business models mature and they outgrow the processes and teams responsible for their early success. Using a mix of case studies, group discussions, interactive exercises and written assignments, this course provides a general management perspective of growth companies: strategy, execution, team, and capital. You first learn different growth strategies, including market disruption, “white space” discovery, and business model innovation. You then connect strategy with execution through market selection and positioning...

There are many roles to be identified so that the needs of a human resource project can be fulfilled. There are different levels in regards to human resource project and those include: executive, managerial and associate level. Sponsors, project managers, and core team members are the most common roles of those levels. Of course the roles of these levels have different responsibilities which allow team members to work together to have a rewarding completed project. The sponsor is defined as the person who provides the financial resources for the project. Management has a unique role on the project that can only be fulfilled by them and no one else. Sadly, many project managers do not realize that project management is not only a profession, but it is a science that requires unique efforts from management. They...
