14:30 Welcome Liam Dillon 
14:40 Mind Mapping Ann Forsythe Mind Mapping is a fantastic creative thinking tool and revolutionary system of note taking. Invented by Tony Buzan in the 1960s, it is the whole brain alternative to linear thinking and note taking. Mind Mapping harnesses the full range of cortical skills – word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness in a single, uniquely powerful manner.  In extracting thoughts from our head onto paper, a Mind Map mirrors the way our brain functions.  This introduction to Mind Mapping will explain what a Mind Map is, the rationale behind Mind mapping and how this effective tool can be used in all aspects of Project Management.

Ann Forsythe, is a Buzan Licensed Instructor, and only one of two in Ireland. Ann is a Project Management consultant and has been using Mind Maps in business for over 20 years. Ann is also a PMP.

15:40 Outsourcing Project Management Daniel Berman The presentation will examine the best practices in outsourcing, and how a project manager should apply those practices in managing the setup of an outsourcing or shared services arrangement.
