1.1 Dairy Industry-An overview
In 1965, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was set up with the object of meeting the demand of milk, especially in urban areas.as well as developing the rural economy through the enhancement of the milk production of the country. In 1970 national dairy development board took up operation flood program in order to organize milk producers co-operative in several places in India taking the Khera district (Anand)co-operative milk producers union limited (AMUL) of Anand, Gujarat as a model with the object in view.
1.2 HISTORY OF DAIRY CO-OPERATIVE IN INDIA:
The co-operative movement started in India in the last of the 19th century with two objects in view, i.e., to protect the farmers from the hands of the private money lenders and to improve their economic conditions.
The history of dairy development movement in India is a new one. The most notable of this venture was a Khera District to Co-operative Milk Producer Union Limited of Anand, Gujarat. But after Independence, the national government took great initiative in setting up new dairy co-operative in many parts of India. The National Dairy Development Board was setup to make ambitious project a success.
Dairy Industry is playing a vital role in providing quality and hygienic milk and other milk products at a competitive price to the consumer as well as it is offering / providing employment opportunities to rural folk.
In June 1974 an integrated project was launched in Karnataka to restructure and recognize the dairy industry to the co-operative principle and to lay foundation for a new direction in the dairy development project was initiated in 1975. Initially the project covered 8 southern districts of Karnataka. Dairy development co-operative was setup to implement the project.
The organization with total vertical integration of all dairy development activities was setup with co-operative societies at grass roots level, milk unions at the middle level and dairy development co-operative societies at stage level as an apex body vested with the responsibilities if implementing rupees 51crores project.
At the end of September 1984 the World Bank aided project ended and the dairy development activities continued under operation flood 2, the activities were extended to cover entire state except coastal taluks of Uttar Karnataka districts and the process of dairy development were continues in second phase from April 1984.
KMF came into existence in may-1984 as a successor to KDCC. The spills over works are finance by NDDB from 1-4-1996 under different terms and conditions.
After the closure of operation flood-2, the Dairy Development activities continue under the operative flood 3 on 31st march.
During the pre-independence period this movement was extended to few parts of India namely Bangalore, Madras and Calcutta. The operation flood was undertaken after the National Dairy Development Board formed in 1965. It was decided that milk co-operative formed in Anand would be followed across the country. The Anand pattern has been accepted as a model, launched by Dr V.V. Kurian regarded as the father of white revolution. The main objective of the white revolution was to provide quality milk to the nation and to upgrade the living standard of the rural people.

PIMENTEL (18 January 2001) volume number CEP13081-970, Campinas, SP, Brazil conducted study on “A linear programming model for cash flow management in the Brazilian construction industry”. The study focus on a linear programming model has been developed for optimal cash flow management addressing specific cash flow issues related to the construction industry.
These include typical financial transactions, possible delays on payments, use of available credit lines, effect of changing interest rates, and budget constraints that often occur in the construction industry. A linear programming model is presented aiming at providing cash flow management for projects in the construction industry. The model assumes cash flow management on monthly basis with compound interest rates from one month to the next.

2) Amaia Lusa*, Carme Martı´nez-Costa and Marta Mas-Machuca (11 January 2011) Vol. 50, No. 6, conducted study on “An integral planning model that includes production, selling price, cash flow management and flexible capacity”. This study focus on in this paper, we discuss an aggregate planning problem that includes production, selling price, cash management and flexible capacity (by means of hiring and firing and with the possibility of unlimited production subcontracting.) In this paper, a planning model that integrates production, staff and marketing decisions is proposed. Demand is assumed to be a nonlinear function of the selling price, as are the incomes. The nonlinear functions are linearized by means of mixed integer linear programming tools. The model has a high number of binary variables, but is solved to optimality within a few seconds, using standard optimisation software (CPLEX 11.0) on a PC. Hence, the model could be the basis of a decision tool that could be used by many companies. 3) R A J I V D.

This study focus on Accounting performance measures such as earnings and cash flows are useful for both valuation and performance evaluation purposes. However, little evidence exists on whether there is any association between these two roles. In this study, we provide large sample empirical evidence that the value relevance of earnings explains a significant amount of the cross-section all variation in the pay-sensitivity of earnings and the incremental value relevance of cash flows explains variation in the marginal pay-sensitivity of cash flows.
Accounting performance measures such as earnings and cash flows seek to serve multiple purposes in organizations. Prior studies have investigated their usefulness for valuation and incentive contracting purposes separately. 4) YAIR E. ORGLER conducted study on “AN UNEQUAL-PERIOD MODEL FOR CASH MANAGEMENT Decision’s*(VoL 16, No 2,) The purpose of this study is to develop an applicable method for solving the meh management problem by deriving a linear programme^ model that is divided into unequal periods. The unequal time division maintains the day-to-day aspect of the problem while reducing the number of periods and variables to a manage^le side. Decision variables are divided into four groups: the payment schedule, securities transactions, short-term financing, and the cash balance. A brief discussion of the cash management problem and some current solutions was followed by a general description of the suggested approach and a detailed discussion of the unequal-period model. Inter- and intra-period relationship among all relevant decision variables were emphasised

6.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
TITLE – “A STUDY ON CASH MANAGEMENT AT MOTHER DAIRY (A UNIT OF KMF) BANGALORE”

6.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Management of cash is one area, which attracts the immediate attention Management of the cash is the most important for the success of the any organisation which is capable of managing cash and related activities effectively. Hence this topic is selected to evaluate the financial soundness and the market standing of the company in order to give better scope to investors, creditors and management and to know whether the cash management is effective or not.

6.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY 1. To study the finance function of the organization and its nature 2. To establish reliable forecasting and reporting system 3. To know the company cash payment and minimum cash reserve 4. To know the cash position of the company

6.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
With the technology advent in all spheres it would only follow that organisations would use it as a platform to cut their operating cycles and to take advantage of all the available investment opportunities which may arise. This can be done only with the help of better cash management, which for long has been a neglected area, by Indian corporates. The project attempts to understand the tolls offered by institutions today that make this possible. Both sides of the services of collections as well as payments have sought to be examined with an emphasis on how these products have developed and offered by banks in India 1. This includes study of cash management of specific industry 2. The study is confirmed to analysing the components of cash flows and short term and long term funds 3. The findings and suggestions from this study will help the industry to frame a suitable financial strategy for the better operations of the organization
6.5 Methodology of data collection
Methodology depends on the nature of the project work. The use of proper methodology is an essential part of any research. The quality of the project work depends on upon the methodology adopted the study. Methodology is nothing but a plan or a strategy of investigation process that sets out to obtain solutions to the study.
Primary data
Primary data is mainly collected through observations,

Secondary data I. Collection of data through company annual reports, company profile II. By websites III. By journals and text books
6.6 LIMITATION 1. The study is confined to finance department 2. The study is limited to mother dairy 3. This may not applicable to other banks and financial institution. And the topic is not universal 4. The study has been purely for academic purpose
Being an academic study it suffers from time and cost consideration 7.7 GENARAL INTRODUCTION CASH MANAGEMENT
Effective cash management is technically challenging. Active management in particular needs a strong commercial sector infrastructure with efficient banking, settlement and clearing systems and adequate data transfer capacity. Within government, as well as skilled staff, it requires efficient information management systems and the associated analytical capabilities. Operational risk can be better managed if these systems are also integrated
Cash, the most liquid asset, is of vital importance to the daily operations of business firms. While the proportion of corporate assets held in the form of cash is very small, often between 1and 3%, its efficient management is crucial to the solvency of the business because in a very important sense cash is the focal point of fund flows in a business. In view of its importance, its generally referred to as the “life blood of business enterprise”.

Meaning of cash
Cash: Motives of handling cash. 1. Transaction: To meet cash needs that arises from doing business. 2. Precautionary: having cash on hand for unexpected needs 3. Speculative: To take advantage of potential profit-making situations 4. Trade-off: cash decreases risk of insolvency but earns no returns

Managing cash inflow:
Reducing float can speed up cash receipts

5. Mail float:
Length of time from the moment a customer mails a check until the firm begin to process it. 6. Processing float:
The time required by a firm to process a check before it can deposited in a bank. 7. Transit float:
Time required for a check to clear through the banking system and become usable funds. 8. Disbursing float:
It occurs because funds are available in a firm’s bank account until its payment check has cleared through the banking system

Pre-authorised check (PAC System):
Arrangement that allows firms to create checks to collect payments directly from customer accounts.
Benefits:
* Highly predictable cash inflow * Customer preferences- eliminates regular billing for customers * Increasing working cash-dramatically reduces mail float & processing float * Reduced expenses-eliminates billing &postage costs; reduces clerical processing costs.
Managing cash outflow:
Zero-Balance Account (ZBA’S): 1. Allows more control over cash outflows 2. Cash is transferred daily from the firms master account to restore the zero balances 3. Division accounts then have negative balances 4. Different division of a firm may write checks from may write checka from their own ZBA.
Why does firm need cash? As John Maynard Keynes put forth, there are three possible motives for holding cash.
Transaction motive
Firms need cash to meet their transaction needs. The collection of cash(from sale of goods and services, sale of assets, and additional financing) is not perfectly synchronised with the disbursement of cash(for purchase goods and services, acquisition of capital assets, and meeting other obligation. Hence, some cash balance is required as a buffer.
Speculative motive
Firms would like to tap profit making opportunities arising from fluctuations in commodity prices, security prices, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. A cash-rich firm is better prepared to exploit such bargains. However, for most firms their reserve borrowing capacity and marketable securities would suffice to meet their speculative needs.
Precautionary motive
There may be some uncertainty about the magnitude and timing of cash inflows from sale of goods and services, sale of asset and insurance of securities. Likewise, there may be uncertainty about cash outflows on account of purchases and other obligations. To protect it against such uncertainties, a firm may require some cash.

CASH MANAGEMENT – BASIS STRATEGIES

The management should, after knowing the cash position by means of the cash budget, work out the basic strategies to be employed to manage its cash.

CASH CYCLE

The cash cycle refers to the process by which cash is used to purchase materials from which are produced goods, which are them sold to customers.
Cash cycle=Average age of firm’s inventory
+Days to collect its accounts receivables
-Days to pay its accounts payable.

The cash turnover means the numbers of times firm’s cash is used during each year.

CASH TURNOVER360CASH CYCLE

The higher the cash turnover, the less cash the firm requires. The firm should, therefore, try to maximize the cash turn.

MANAGING COLLECTIONS
a) Prompt Billing
By preparing and sending the bills promptly, without a time log between the dispatch of goods and sending the bills, a firm can ensure earlier remittance.

b) Expeditious collection of cheques
An important aspect of efficient cash management is to process the cheques receives very promptly.

c) Concentration Banking
Instead of a single collection center located at the company headquarters, multiple collection centers are established. The purpose is to shorten the period between the time customers mail in their payments and the time when the company has use of the funds are then to a concentration bank – usually a disbursement account.

d) Lock-Box System
With concentration banking, a collection center receives remittances, processes them and deposits them in a bank. The purpose is to lock-box system is to eliminate the time between the receipt of remittances by the company and their deposit in the bank. The company rents a local post office box and authorizes its bank in each of these cities to pick up remittances in the box. The bank picks up the mail several times a day and deposits the cheque in the company’s accounts. The cheques are recorded and cleared for collection. The company receives a deposits the cheque in the company’s accounts. The cheques are recorded and cleared for collation. The company receives a deposit slip and a lift of payments. This procedure frees the company from handling a depositing the cheques.

CONTROL OF DISBURSMENT

a) Stretching Accounts Payable
A firm should pay its accounts payables as late as possible without damaging its credit standing. It should, however, take advantages of the cash discount available on prompt payment.

b) Centralized Disbursement
One procedure for rightly controlling disbursements is to centralize payables in to a single account, presumably at the company’s headquarters. Such an arrangement would enable a firm to delay payments and can serve cash for several reasons. Firstly, it increases transit time. Secondly, if a firm has a centralized bank account, a relatively smaller total cash balances will be needed.

c) Bank Draft
Unlike ordinary cheques, the draft is not payable on demand. When it is presented to the issuer’s bank for collection, the bank must present it to the issuer for acceptance. The funds then are deposited by the issuing firm to cover payments of the draft. But suppliers prefer cheques. Also, bank imposes a higher service charge to process them since they require special attention, usually manual.

d) Playing the float
The amount of cheques issued by the firm but not paid for by the bank is referred to as the “payment float”. The differences between “payment float” and “collection float” are the net float. So, if a firm enjoys a positive “net float”, it may issue cheques even if it means having an ever drown account in its books. Such an action is referred to as “playing the float”, within limits a firm can play this game reasonably safely.
Thus management of cash becomes essential and it should be seen to, that neither excessive nor inadequate cash balances are maintained.
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

The cash flow analysis is done with the help of cash flow statement. A cash flow statement is a statement depicting changes in cash position from one period to another. It is an important planning tool. Cash flow statement gives a clear picture of the source of cash, the uses of cash and the net changes in cash. The primary purpose of cash flow statement is to show that as to where from the cash to be acquired and where to use them.

UTILITY OF CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
A Cash flow analysis is an important financial tool for the management. Its chief advantages are as follows.

1. Helps in efficient cash management
Cash flow analysis helps in evaluating financial policies and cash position. Cash is the basis for all operation and hence a projected cash flow statement will enable the management to plan and co-ordinate the financial operations properly. The management can know how much cash is needed from which source it will be derived, how much can be generated, how much can be utilized.

2. Helps in internal financial management
Cash flow analysis information about funds, which will be available from operations. This will helps the management in repayment of long-term debt, dividend policies etc.,

3. Discloses the movements of Cash
Cash flow statement discloses the complete picture of cash movement. The increase in and decrease of cash and the reasons therefore can be known. It discloses the reasons for low cash balance in spite of heavy operation profits on for heavy cash balance in spite of low profits.

4. Discloses success or failure of cash planning
The extent of success or failure of cash planning be known by comparing the projected cash flow statement with the actual cash flow statement and necessary remedial measures can be taken.

DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM CASH BALANCE

One of the primary responsibilities of the financial manager is to maintain a sound liquidity position of the firm so that the dues are settled in time. The firm needs cash to purchase raw materials and pay wages and other expenses as well as for paying dividend, interest and taxes. The test of liquidity is the availability of cash to meet the firm’s obligations when they become due.
A firm maintains the operating cash balance for transaction purposes. It may also carry additional cash as a buffer or safety stock. The amount of cash balance will depend on the risk-return trade-off. If the firm maintains small cash balance, its liquidity position weakens, but its profitability improves as the released funds can be invested in profitable opportunities (marketable securities). When the firm needs cash, it can sell its keeps high cash balance, it will have a strong liquidity position
Optimum cash balance under certainty
BAUMOL’S MODEL
The Baumol model of cash management provides a formal approach for determining a firm’s optimum cash balance under certainty. It considers cash management similar to an inventory management problem. As such, the firm attempts to minimize the sum of the cost of holding cash (inventory of cash) and the cost of converting marketable securities to cash.
The baumol’s model makes the following assumptions: I. The firm is able to forecast its cash needs with certainty. II. The firm’s cash payments occur uniformly over a period of time. III. The opportunity cost of holding cash is known and it does not change over time. IV. The firm will incur the firm sells securities and starts with a converts securities to cash

The Miller-Orr Model
The limitation of the Baumol model is that it does not allow the cash flows to fluctuate. Firms in practice do not use their cash balance uniformly nor are they able to predict do not use their cash inflows and outflows. The Miller-Orr model overcomes this shortcoming and allows for daily cash flow variation. It assumes that net cash flows are normally distributed with a zero value of mean and a standard deviation. The MO model provides for two control limits-the upper control limit and the lower control limit as well as a return point. If the firm’s cash flows fluctuate randomly and hit the upper limit, then it buys sufficient marketable securities to come back to a normal level of cash balance (the return point). Similarly, when the firm’s cash flows wander and hit the lower limit, it sells sufficient marketable securities to bring the cash balance back to the normal level (the return point)

The Latest Trends in North American Cash Management
Steve Wilder, Senior Vice President and JPMorgan Chase Treasury Services Western Hemisphere Corporate and Financial Institutions Sales Executive
The Drive towards Efficiency, Transparency, Standardization and Integration
Fragmentation is a key driver of corporate inefficiency. This has long been the case in the movement of paper checks and related remittance documents within the U.S. payments system, and the flow of goods, trade-related documents and funds within the broader global supply chain. As corporate treasurers pursue end-to-end automation for treasury and supply-chain activities, they understand that to achieve straight-through processing — and the subsequent optimization of working capital globally — they must integrate the payment and information components of a transaction.
Based on this drive for efficiency, three interrelated trends are shaping North America’s cash management landscape today. First, corporate treasurers and their banks are driving the convergence towards electronic payments to better integrate money and information flows. Second, there is a parallel convergence in international trade towards open account, electronic payment and the automation of information flows, as treasury pushes to integrate the physical and financial supply chains. On both fronts, solutions are emerging to digitize paper wherever it persists. Third, as companies continue to expand globally — and information and money flows follow.

7.2 RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio Analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A Ratio is defined as “the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions” and as “the relationship between two or more things”. In financial analysis, a ratio is used as a benchmark for evaluating the financial position and performance of a firm.
Ratio helps to summarize large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative judgment about the firm’s financial performance.

CHAPTER 8
8.FINDINGS
1) The cash management of MOTHER DAIRY has been working well. 2) The company’s absolute liquidity ratio in all the years is far below the ideal level. So the firm should take steps to invest more in super quick assets. 3) Current Ratio shows that the company has sufficient funds to meet its short-term obligations The efficiency of inventory control in MOTHER DAIRY shows a satisfactory position.. 4) The Cash Ratio shows that the cash required to meet out the current liabilities is maintained at a normal level hence, it can lend that MOTHER DAIRY follows an average policy. 5) The Current Assets to Total Assets Ratio implies that is MOTHER DAIRY maintaining a considerable level of Current Assets in proportion to Total Assets. 6) The average Cash to Current Assets is maintained. Hence, it is found that the company had maintained a moderate level of cash in proportion to Current Assets. Cash & bank balance fluctuating to greater extent. It has been increased to 56%& 187%in the year 2010-11&2011-12respectively. 7) The average ratio of Sundry Debtors to Current Assets is maintained. Hence it implies that the credit policy followed by MOTHER DAIRY is moderate. Payable of sundry debtors increased every year, due to non-payment 8) The loans and Advances to Current Assets ratio of the company imply that a 25% of the Current Assets are kept in for loans and advances, which is considerable. Loans & advances are fluctuating year by year. 9) The company has maintain a good sales record compared to previous year & it enjoys the continues growth in the company. The average cash to sales ratio is 0.064times and which indicates that only 6.4% of sales has been maintained as cash with the business

8.2 SUGGESTION 1. MOTHER DAIRY need to try to match their Cash with the sales. In case of surplus Cash, it should be invested either in securities or should be used to repay borrowings. 2. The company may try to prepare a proper ageing schedule of debtors. This will help them to reduce the bad debts and speed up collection efforts. The company should be prompt in making payments so as to enjoy cash discount opportunities 3. The company can determine the optimum cash balance to be kept. The company followed an aggressive policy of financing working capital should try to finance 50% of their working capital using long term source and improve their status. 4. The current Ratio of 2:1 is considered normally satisfactory. MOTHER DAIRY can try to improve the current ratio. So it should invest large amount in current ratio, in order to maintain liquidity and solvency position of the concern. 5. The company needs to be following a matching policy for financing current Assets (i.e.) using both long term and short-term sources of finances. 6. It must draw the attention on the old machines accommodated on the floor as it incurs expenses to the company 7. It is recorded that there is increase in the direct staff expenses, so the company need to focus on controlling the cost or expenses incurred towards staff if it finds unnecessary

...Project Estimating Technique Paper By: Efrain Gonzalez Jr. CPMGT/303 October 6, 2014 Chanda Sanders This paper describes each of the project estimating techniques by explaining when each technique would be used, and how each technique is used. The information being explained provides sources of information that is needed to figure out the most appropriate technique for a project. When justifying an estimate there are certain tools you could use that will help one justify an estimate correctly, and the information being provide explains what tools will be used to justify estimates. Project estimating techniques and tools are important aspects needed to achieve the goal and objective of a project. An analogous estimation is a very common estimation technique used to estimate activities within a project through previous experiences with different projects and extrapolates onto the current project at hand. This technique is mainly used for projects that have the same type of work, and the same resources being used between projects. Parametric model estimation is another precise, easy, accurate technique that is used to estimate time, and resources needed within a project to perform activities. The use of this technique is created upon historical experiences, and lessons learned on different projects.

...Chapter 3 Planning the Project This chapter begins by discussing the nine key elements of the project plan. The following two sections address the planning process in greater detail with considerable emphasis placed on the project launch meeting and the hierarchical planning process by which parts of the plan are sequentially broken down into finer levels of detail. This provides a natural transition to the creation of the Work Breakdown Structure. Finally, the chapter is concluded with a discussion of multidisciplinary teams including the topics of integration management and concurrent engineering. Cases and Readings Some cases appropriate to the subject of this chapter are: Harvard: 9-692-058 Taco Bell Corp. This 31-page best-selling case describes a project to implement a new strategic plan involving major changes in layout, staffing, quality, product design, and information systems. The coordination and integration of all these project activities is what makes the plan successful, and hard for competitors to imitate. Two teaching notes are available for this case: 5-692-091 (20 pages) and 5-196-073 (12 pages). Harvard: 9-694-059 Hardcard Project: Plus Development Corp.

...THE CONTRIBUTION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF GHANA INTRODUCTION Project management as a management discipline underpins much economic activity. In industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, software and aerospace, projects drive business. And in the public sector, it is effective project management that translates politicians' promises of new roads, schools and hospitals into gleaming new constructions that improve everyday life. The development of Ghana Successive Ghanaian governments pursued various models of economic development throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s. In the immediate post independent era of the early 1960s, Ghana’s economic development objectives were geared towards the ‘Big Push’ primary economic policies. These revolved around: a major investment effort; an industrialization drive; increased import substitution; processing of commodities and minerals previously exported in their raw form; and direct state participation in leading areas of the economy. The 1970s ushered in a policy of increased ‘Ghanaianisation’ or indigenisation with specified industrial activities reserved for state participation, Ghana-foreign ownership, and exclusive Ghana ownership, among others. The early 1980s saw the liberalization of the Ghanaian economy and the encouragement of foreign investments. All these approaches, however, fell far short of expectations and the failures were exacerbated by adverse terms of trade, falling commodity prices, and crippling debt by...

...State University of New York Empire State College, MBA Program Course 651644: Tools and Processes in Project Management Summer 2013 term Instructor: Dr. Adams Assignment #1: X-philes Data Management Corporation: RFP Matters By Jose M Collazo What is the basis for the problem? There are two primary problems with how X-philes Data Management Corporation handled the request for proposal. The first one was the lack of communication by the managers who selected the same vendor for two different projects. This problem led to the creation of the second problem which is proper resource allocation. When dealing with multiple projects with the same vendor, the company runs the risk of creating multiple interdependencies. Any resource allocation decisions made in one project by the vendor are likely to have ramifications in the other projects. According to Pinto, Some of the better known problems include inefficient use of resources, resource bottlenecks, ripple effects, and the heightened pressure on personnel to multitask (Pinto 2013). The personnel issue in particular, was a main cause of schedule slippage as employees quit at the contractor and they were unable to maintain sufficient staffing levels to keep the projects on track. While bottleneck’s restricts a vendor's ability to make money, they realize that the best way to maximize income is to fully exploit the bottleneck resource (Chakravorty & Atwater§, 2006)...

Overdetermining - project managers sometimes overstates their capabilities of comleting a project on time. That is when a project will take say two months to accomplish they use presure or lack of experience or presure to perform even the other factors that ignores reality for something that is not imporsimble to accomples in the time given. When everyone is not available at the same time to work as a team on the project this could cause a delay to finish and deliver the project on time. The trade offs that is to make a clear policy of communication from the begining of the project that nobody goes off course and that everyone have to work as a team and must be on the sameline with everyone on the team.

Blanchette BUS 611: Project Planning and Management Dr.: Donald McKay April 25, 2016 Recently the project charter for transitioning the Quick Drop 100 (QD100) from New York to Florida received final authorization. I was awarded the project and assigned as project manager (PM) to lead a team of qualified individuals and complete the task of relocating the QD100 program to the state of Florida. The next step in the preparation phase is to hold a project kickoff meeting. This meeting will be used to acclimate team members, clients, and other attendants to ensure everyone understands the key players and their respective roles. As the PM I plan to generate enthusiasm, motivation, and excitement while maintaining a guided discussion regarding the content, schedule, and duration of the project from start to finish. To prepare for the meeting I will accomplish several preliminary tasks. The most important areas to consider during preparation include identifying stakeholders, communication methods, team building, accountability and code of conduct. Once the tone has been set and key points discussed the meeting will conclude by first reiterating member expectations and responsibilities followed by a summary of all pertinent information. The bottom line is this kickoff meeting will be presented as such to ensure all relevant attendants and stakeholders are provided a transparent achievable list of goals.

...Research Project Management Key Concepts Dr Robin Henderson robin@myconsultants.net Research Project Management - Key Concepts © My Consultants Ltd 2010 Introduction The successful management of a research project depends upon the researchers ability to plan, coordinate and perform the research. Many researchers do not formally manage their research and whilst this does not necessarily mean that the research will not be completed successfully this approach has impacts on the staff whom are involved in the project. For example an unplanned approach can often lead to stress in members of the research team, crises management when deadlines are not effectively managed and the lack of time within the research to deliver effective outcomes for all the staff involved in the project. This short document outlines some of the key tools which you can utilise within research contracts to lead to more successful outcomes. Clearly understanding what success means for your project. The starting point for managing a project effectively is to have a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve. A simple model to start to explore this is to distinguish between outputs and outcomes.  Outputs are the physical deliverables of the project  Outcomes are what happens as a result of the outputs For example in a clinical based trial the output could be a paper with the related outcome being the changes in clinical practise. The starting point for a project is to define what the desired outcomes...

...Projects Without Borders Elizabeth Harrin (October 5, 2006) Managing international projects requires much more than calculating that when it’s 9 a.m. in Paris, Texas, it’s 4 p.m. in Paris, France. Crosscultural teams and customers won’t necessarily work the same way as you. Here are some strategies for discovering the differences and dealing with them. As the world gets smaller, projects seem to expand to fill the available space, and now many of us are tackling the challenge of managing cross-cultural project teams and cross-cultural project customers. When your project team spans different countries, getting everyone together for a conference call is a new kind of administrative nightmare. But it’s not just the practicalities of working out time zone disparities and correcting the occasional bit of awkward grammar that make crossborder projects so challenging. National culture plays a big part in how we act and work. Get a group of people together from around the world and they can’t even agree on what noise a rooster makes, so how are they going to come to a conclusion on how to communicate project progress to the stakeholders? Or, to put it another way, the people you are working with won’t necessarily work in the same way as you, and the people you are working for won’t necessarily want the same things. One financial project manager I know was sent to Spain for a year to set up a new process improvement initiative in one of his company’s call centers. The Madridbased office...
