Improve Your Business Performance

Improve Your Business Performance
at Softworld Business Performance & Project Management

17 & 18 October
NEC, Birmingham

Managing change.
Improving productivity and profitability.
Staying ahead of competitors.

These are the challenges successful companies have to rise to – and conquer.
But these days everyone’s swamped with day-to-day problems – and it’s often difficult to see the wood for the trees.

Yet getting a perspective on your business, seeing how others are meeting their challenges, discussing problems and solutions with hands-on experts, being able to short list solutions – these are invaluable things for any business.

To be able to do it all in a day – and not pay a penny – now that makes real business sense.

Wednesday October 17 and Thursday 18 are two days which progressive Project Managers and Programme Directors, IT Directors and CIOs can dedicate to finding real solutions to their real business challenges.

With over 40 leading Business Performance & Project Management software and e-business specialists under one roof, Softworld provides the opportunity to test and compare the latest products and discover powerful solutions that will streamline your project management functions.

Current exhibitors include Palisade Europe, Eurocharts, Atlantic Global, Innate Management Systems, Timetell and Report Source and many more.

These free to attend sessions not only allow visitors to update their knowledge on key industry issues but most importantly provide invaluable knowledge and tips from practitioners on how to select and implement a technology solution.

• Chris Venning, Programme Director, Customer Services Delivery, Department of Transport

• Steve Watkins, Head of IT Portfolio Office, Environment Agency

• Shan Rajegopal and Philip McGuin, authors of Project Portfolio Management: Leading the Corporate Vision
