•    Build confidence in your team for future projects

Our Project Management Breakthroughs course is a practical solution for project leaders and their teams, who find themselves working through a myriad of projects, but have not yet made the paradigm shift where they see their evolving business structure as a series of project-centric teams.

Essential IT Security Seminars in Cork in 2007
The explosion in internet usage over the last 10 years has ensured that, from massive multi-nationals to the local garage, almost every company now has a vital IT component.

Every business has valuable IT assets, such as computers, networks, and data. And protecting those assets requires that companies get a clear picture of the security risks they face and how to best deal with these threats.

Professional Training, together with Rits, Ireland's premier independent provider of information security consulting and professional services, are bringing three one-day key IT security programmes to Cork in 2007.  

The three stand-alone sessions will target management considerations for IT Security, countermeasures for security risk and incorporating security measures into application development.  Attendees will also have an opportunity to assess with experts how they need to strengthen their IT security, in light of the continuing threats from external and internal risks.

Building Relationships, Growing Results - Another Approach
The need for high quality managers is intensifying as 'flatter' organisation structures and self-directed teams mean that the actual number of managers needed is decreasing. However, the need for quality managers, people who can manage themselves and others in a high stress environment, is increasing.

Successful management requires specific skills, in addition to knowledge of key business practices.   However you define your role - manager, leader, communicator, motivator - no matter what managerial 'hat' you are wearing, the focus must always be on improving the bottom line while achieving the best results.  Front-line managers in any corporate or government organisation in Ireland today face a difficult, ever-changing environment Standard textbook approaches simply will not achieve what's required and multi-disciplinary skills are vital.  

This new course acknowledges the difficulties facing managers in Ireland and assists participants in improving their skills for the realities faced daily. We not offer abstract academic concepts and lecture experienced managers on how to apply them. The content is based on real-world experience and is guaranteed to engage participants and provide them with the tools to bring them to the next level in management.

On average, we use less than 4% of the capacity of our minds. What can we do about that missing 96%?  If we use only 1% more of our brainpower, we'll be 25% more effective.
