Master the essentials of project planning—from defining community impact and budgeting to risk assessment and evaluation—to launch your initiative on time, on budget, and fully funded.

Overview

Every successful program or project is based on great design and loads of planning and the planning of a project takes focus and creativity. So how does one design a project that is successful, on time, on budget and achieves all of the goals set? It’s a big ask when there are limited resources.

This workshop will assist committees to avoid common project plan faults and maximise resources for a better chance of success. It will also help those who apply for grants to have a solid base for including in grant applications, so funders can see everything is ready to go.

The workshop equips participants with practical planning and budgeting abilities and is tailored for community groups. Topics include:
