AMTEC is to launch its new Forensic Programme and Project Management (PPM)
approach during this month's Portfolio Management 2010 conference at London's
Business Design Centre.
In a presentation to delegates, AMTEC will demonstrate how the new approach
can support difficult decisions concerning which programmes and projects should
survive the painful squeeze on public sector spending. "The Optimised
Portfolio: how new Forensic PPM can measure which projects really
matter", will be hosted by Gilbert Toppin, a leading figure in the
consulting industry, and AMTEC's Practice Leader for PPM, David Roper.
AMTEC Forensic PPM is a new approach to gauging the health of your programmes
and projects against the market norm. It uses evidence-based techniques,
benchmarked across the sector, to provide a totally objective assessment. The
development of the approach leveraged research of nearly 2000 programmes (70% of
them in the public sector) with a combined value of over GBP 85 billion.
For an introduction and demonstration of Forensic PPM, book
your place at Portfolio Management 2010 - 31st March (discounts
available for public sector delegates) or contact us
