SEMINAR AND TRAINING
TO: ALL MEMBERS OF MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA
Dear Sir/Madam,
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN MAN/IFC PRIVATE ENTERPRISE PARTNERSHIP FOR AFRICA TRAINING WORKSHOP ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT: PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION TECHNIQUES
(August 28-29, 2007)
In the mission to deliver continuous and better results on company's or organization's performance, strategic thinking companies and organizations drive their businesses with project teams in order to draw maximum benefits from the capabilities of their human resource asset. The potential and the promise of rapid improvement in output arising from the adoption of project team strategy in the implementation of projects are so large that it has become a pleasing idea to employ in the overall interest of corporate success.
In the implementation of this strategy, it is very important to continuously sharpen the skills of project managers or personnel charged with the responsibility to drive the mission of businesses and organizations in every area of their operation. The ultimate result is to enable the human resource team to achieve desired outcomes through exposure to the application of project planning and implementation principles and techniques which are expected to optimise the contributions of the whole members of the project team.
It is in acknowledgement of the critical role which planning play in the successful implementation of projects, that the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria in cooperation with the International Finance Corporation-PEP Africa has put together a team of experts to facilitate a two-day workshop on PROJECT MANAGEMENT: PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION TECHNIQUES from August 28- 29, 2007, at Industrial Training Fund (ITF), Km 12/13 Abakaliki Expressway, Emene Industrial Layout, Enugu State.
