Retail is going through a period of massive change. Unfortunatley, we see what happens to retailers that can’t change.
So, learn how to manage retail projects so that you deliver your goals and realise your strategy and ensure that you remain competitive by delighting your customers and shareholders.
Customers are driving the key changes in the industry, enabled by new and ever-evolving technology.

But, change and transformation is tough and stressful – especially when the stakes are so high

However, there is an urgent need for capable project managers in the retail industry.
So, if you build capability in house, then you’ll be able to deliver changes without relying on expensive external resources.

As an expert and highly experienced project and program manager, I know what really works to deliver highly successful projects in retail environments.

JUST IMAGINE
AVOID DELAYS
If one project delivers £100k of annualised benefit, suffering only a 1 week delay costs £1923. Excluding any additional project costs, such as resourcing.
By learning to manage projects in a more structured and effective way, it’s easy to avoid common mistakes which lead to delays. Even a small delay can cost a huge amount.
Just imagine if you could avoid this sort of delay – just once.
REALISE BENEFITS
Many projects never realise the benefits that they forecast. This slows down the progress of the company as a whole – and in some circumstances, can affect the official financial results of the business.
Buy, by delivering the right outputs from the project and building the right justification in the business, you’ll build confidence and trust across the business.
Just imagine if your project was the reason for poor business performance.
NO FIREFIGHTING
Every project comes up against problems and challenges. It’s easy to be dragged into focussing on these. Meanwhile, more problems spring up when you’re focused on that. Now, the project is in a state of ongoing firefighting.
But, by effectively managing risks before they materialise, you can enjoy a much smoother ride through your project. There will be fewer delays and much less stress.
Just imagine if your project’s problems were solved before they happened.
STAKEHOLDERS ON BOARD
Winning stakeholder support is essential for successful project delivery. Without stakeholder support, you’ll find barriers being put up and negative sentiment building. This can easily lead to major project delays, going around in circles and even a complete project failure or cancellation.
But winning stakeholder support is a long game which needs effective strategies and careful focus.
Just imagine if your most important projects were cancelled. What then?

When does the course start?
- The course starts on the 17th February 2020 and new modules will be added each week. The Q&A calls start on the 19th March 2020.
How long does it take to complete?
- The course is self paced, so you can work at the speed that’s right for you. You could cover it in a couple of days or spread it out over a couple of months – whichever fits your learning style and availability.
How is this delivered?
- Through a series of online videos which are available on demand. There are also guides and templates to download at relevant points in the course. Each video lasts for around 5-10 minutes, so you have the option to fit in learning flexibly around your other commitments.
- The Q&A calls are a live, online meeting and there are recordings available if you can’t make any particular session.
Will this work?
- If you take the course and apply the learnings, then yes. Every project is different (as are the people involved of course) but the approaches are similar. These approaches have worked well for other project managers (both new and experienced) in multi-site retailers.
- Remember, the ongoing support is also there for you to ask questions and get answers based on challenges and queries that you come up against when working on your projects in real life.
Who is this for?
- This programme is for project managers in the retail and consumer facing industry. “Project Manager” may not be your job title, but if part of the role is about managing projects – then you are a project manager! This will work particularly well if you are new to projects or if you want to step up your ability to manage projects more effectively. Maybe you’re unsure of what to do or perhaps you’re driven to deliver. The Retail Project Manager Success programme is there to help you be a successful retail project manager.
How does the Q&A work?
- The Q&A calls are online meetings. There will be multiple people attending but privacy will be maintained. Questions should be pre-submitted, by email, ahead of the call and will be answered in a first come, first served manner.
- Each call lasts for 1 hour and the Q&A calls start on the 19th March 2020. You will receive more information by email for these after registering and getting started on the course.
How does the individual coaching work?
- This is a bonus for the launch only. It will not be available after the launch period (closes at end of Feb 2020)
- Your session will be booked with Oliver Banks at a time that is convenient for both. They will be online meetings and it is helpful (but not essential) if any questions are pre-submitted.
- Each coaching call lasts for 30 minutes and can be on a topic of your choice – perhaps a specific challenge in your project or the opportunity to review part of the training course.
Is there certification?
- You get a certificate to show that you have completed the course. There are tests at the end of each module to ensure that you’re recalling what you’re learning.
- At present, this is not recognised in the same way as say a PRINCE2 certification.
- Instead, I believe actually delivering a project is more important than the paperwork.
What do you need to do this? Any pre-requisites?
- There are no pre-requisites to get started.
- You’ll only need a computer / mobile device and an internet connection which can stream videos.
Why choose this course vs other options?
- There are many different project management courses out there which are industry agnostic – so they could be used for building a space shuttle or reducing late train times or any other project.
- But, this programme specifically focuses on the retail industry which, compared to other industries, is faster paced, more dynamic, more competitive and impacts many people from customers to staff to suppliers and beyond.
- This course will help get you ready to deliver projects in the real world. It looks to minimise paperwork and bureaucracy with a real focus on delivering a great solution that will have a positive benefit for customers, staff and shareholders.
- The programme also recognises the need for ongoing support to guide you through the challenges of managing a project in the real world.
