2 Day Workshop - People, Process and Technology

As leaders in the field of Programme and Project Management, FPMS specialize in bringing together innovative and pragmatic solutions to address the many diverse challenges facing our clients. We are excited by the power in the combination of MindMapping®, PRINCE2® and MindGenius®, and are the only organisation in Australia with the unique blend of accreditations and skills to deliver this highly interactive and stimulating course.

This highly interactive and stimulating workshop brings together the powerful combination of MindMapping®, and MindGenius® and will benefit those who are experiencing information overload and /or are required to:

  • simplify the complex
  • work in a collaborative environment
  • plan
  • deliver
  • work effectively and productively

Training Workshops
The workshop will be presented in two parts:

Section 1 - MindMapping®
During the workshop, delegates will be introduced to the technique of “Mindmapping®” Developed by Tony Buzan and regarded as the most “brain friendly” method of gathering, organising and remembering information.

 

MindMapping is a proven technique which unlocks the true potential of the brain. MindMapping harnesses the full range of cortical skills - words, images, numbers, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness - in a single, uniquely powerful manner.

Typically MindMapping is used for note taking, generating/preparing communications, information gathering, gaining an understanding, learning, people management, problem solving/solution generation, planning and strategic thinking.

Using this technique we go on to explore how it can be used in our personal and working lives to allow us to work in a more effective and productive manner, thus helping us to deliver our objectives and reduce the stress levels.

Section 2 - Planning
This section of the workshop is based on the PRINCE2® Planning Process and will focus on:

  • Planning tools and techniques including product based planning ( PBS/ WBS)
  • Defining the project or task
  • Scoping
  • Defining the products
  • Analyzing the products
  • Estimating resources
  • Addressing Risk
  • Development of the task or Project Plan

Case studies and exercises will be used to reinforce the formal presentation of the process.

Section 3 - MindGenius®

The third section of the workshop looks at how we can effectively combine the technique of ‘Mindmapping®”
and the Process of Planning to manage the collected information and avoid ‘information overload.

In this section we will be introduced to MindGenius®, a computer aided thinking tool that takes the MindMapping® experience to new levels and and allows information to be gathered, organised, and structured, then effortlessly published in the appropriate format for sharing with other parties in a number of different formats. These include:

  • MS WORD
  • MS PROJECT
  • MS OUTLOOK
  • MS POWERPOINT
  • MS VISIO
  • HTML

There will be a formal demonstration of how to use the tool and participants will then be set the task of developing a project plan for their particular project using the tool. By the end of the session participants will have produced a draft proposal document, MS Project Gantt Chart, Power point presentation, PDF files and process flow chart using the tool.

During the workshop, participants require access to a laptop supporting Microsoft XP and MS Project – Please contact FPMS for details. All participants will be issued with a 21 day copy of MindGenius® 2005.
