Project Controls course sponsored by a Global Pharmaceutical
You all know how we at PP value an initiative that reflects the efforts we are all making to develop Planning and Project Controls as a career path. Well, here are our friends at Glaxo who have developed a course in Project Controls which also counts towards a Masters Degree at Birmingham University. Contact Rebecca through PP (a link is also below) and receive a £500 discount on the £2,000 overall price. Of course you have the backing of a major multinational should you wish to attend and we see this as significant – after all has anyone else done this?

Eight years ago GSK recognised that it was well behind best practice in project controls. With a need to deliver a large global portfolio of projects reliably and cost effectively it needed to improve.
A world-class approach was developed and trained out to all the key project personnel and the results have been significant: In external benchmarking they sit constantly in the upper quartile of cost effective delivery and have an excellent record of delivery on time and to cost.
This is your chance to benefit from the programme GSK implemented: now developed into a two day course which can form part of a Masters in Industrial Project Management from the University of Birmingham.

The effective delivery of industrial projects is fundamental to the growth and development of not just business but national infrastructure and each year both face new and greater challenges. Safety and reliability of delivery are now expected as standard.
Sustainability throughout the sourcing, delivery and lifecycle of an asset is a huge growth area with the continuing demand for projects to be delivered faster and more cost-effectively. These challenges require exceptional project professionals, with a deep understanding of project process and the application of world class tools and techniques.
"The demand for such professionals is now greater than ever". VP, Head Global Capital Projects GSK
