McManus Consulting has specialised in IT project management for over 15 years, assisting companies to plan and execute projects - on time, on budget, every time.
McAdemy offers a range of solutions for the enterprise and the individual, from the entry level 'Project Management Fundamentals' to the heavyweight 'CompTIA Project+'.
Managing Director Tony McManus said: “All companies run projects - anytime an organisation decides on a strategy that involves achieving specific goals, the steps to achieving those goals are like a project plan. To ensure success, applying project management methodology to corporate strategy is vital. It provides real-time reporting on progress, and keeps executives up to speed on what they are spending and how long it will take to realise their strategic objectives.”
For those companies with a high level of project management maturity, it is essential to get new staff up to the standards required in that company. McAdemy can help by assessing the training requirements in your organisation, as well as providing accredited training to meet the demand for better skilled project managers.
For companies who task projects to line managers, project management training will improve efficiency and raise the level of awareness needed to bring more projects in on time and on budget.
