Developing a new product, installing new process equipment or introducing a new service can present significant challenges to any business and, in general, the smaller the business the greater the challenge. Project management techniques are routinely used by larger organisations to minimise risks and maximise benefits when undertaking such activities.

The University of Nottingham’s Ingenuity staff have developed an easy to use, step-by-step practical guide to the management of projects specifically designed to assist small and medium sized businesses in delivering their projects on time, on budget and to the right quality.

Ingenuity staff will work directly with participating businesses to introduce this generic project management methodology that can be easily tailored to meet a specific project need. Interactive workshops will be held with client business staff, sessions will be based on a workbook developed specifically for the purpose of introducing new products, processes or services into smaller businesses.

Benefits to participating businesses will include:
• Products, processes and services introduced in a timely, cost effective and professional manner
• Staff trained in the principles of project management
• A methodology which can be tailored and used repeatedly
