Apologies for cross promoting

A few spaces are still available in this new immersion course offered for
heritage and planning professionals and managers by the Cultural Resource
Management Program at the University of Victoria from October 22 - 27.
Further information on the course, the program, registration, and
accommodation are available on our web site at http://www.uvcs.uvic.ca/crmp

Heritage Conservation Project Management
The conservation of heritage properties is a complex process, involving both
an understanding of conservation principles and thoughtful management
strategies. The course focuses on principles, techniques, experiences, and
resources in the management of heritage conservation projects from the
points of view of both the owner/client and the professional/consultant.
Project management theory and practice are addressed, with a bias towards
the pragmatic and the practical, through the discussion of case studies.
Projects undertaken at the municipal level in both Canada and abroad are
emphasized, although other levels are also addressed. An initial review of
the heritage conservation planning strategies provides a context in which
you strengthen your ability to:

- Recognize the distinct phases of the project management process
- Build a team with the appropriate range of professional expertise
- Define, plan, schedule, and budget the project
- Break down the work into components and illustrate them graphically
- Implement, control, and monitor projects
- Prepare reports
- Appreciate the roles of the various communities of interest
- Identify community perspectives and achieve meaningful public consultation
- Consider risk management
- Address ethical and legal issues
- Write RFPs and proposals
