Event Calendar - GIL Workshops

This is a two day programme covering the essentials of project management. It provides the foundational skills necessary to initiate, plan and successfully execute projects, bringing them in on-time and to budget.

Product Management while essential to a company’s efforts, can often be a complex and frustrating function depending on the philosophy and evolution within a given enterprise. This dynamic and fast paced program addresses these challenges by delivering a comprehensive Product Management Business Life Cycle Model while integrating key tools, techniques, models and best-practices accumulated over three decades of research and consulting experience in this critical business function.

This 2 day workshop has been designed to help product managers plan and deliver successful launches. It is based on research and practical experience of what can go wrong and what it takes to get things right. Examples and case studies will be used to illustrate these issues and delegates will be encouraged to apply course concepts to their own products. Each delegate will leave with a set of practical launch tools and processes they can continue to use after the course.

Introducing new products to customers, channels, partners and internal stakeholders is a key activity for product and product marketing managers. Unfortunately this vital activity is often left to the last minute and executed poorly wasting business opportunities, delaying the take up of new products and, occasionally, causing good products to fail. In a recent survey conducted by Frost and Sullivan launching new products was rated as the most important challenge facing product managers.

This 3-day workshop is designed to give you a thorough overview of the strategic aspects of business and the way that each function interlinks; planning the business (strategic thinking); doing the business (operations management); managing the business (people and resources); marketing the business; financing the business and managing change.

This 2-day Professionals workshop focuses on some of the most important skills required for commercial product management – financial management, forecasting and building business cases.
