Here's the new book!!!!

Here it is! Off the press and available from today!!! Quite a milestone and one I never knew would be on my own ToDo list. I’m delighted. What else to say? It’s the only book addressing what it is like to do project management in the social benefit sector ( charities, social enterprises, constituted organisations, good causes). It focusses on positive changes made via heart-ful processes - so on the changes we want to make via processes which empower, not stifle. According to Helen, my Foreword writer, it is an “essential addition to any modern organisation,” “so that as many organisations and individuals are empowered to create the greatest impact they can for their beneficiaries.”

I wrote this for all the reasons Helen says and more.  I heard story after story from delegates to my DSC Practical Project Management course that people were appointed to management roles for their passion for the work of their charity.  They weren’t promoted or hired for their project skills and had to bring a variety of experience and will-power to help them turn their knowledge about their beneficiaries into practical processes to run projects to help them.  Delegates felt frustrated, unprepared, and frankly, not helped by the usual corporate project management processes and training.  A book needed to be situated firmly in this world of difference we inhabit.  So I agreed to do it.  Here it is, steeped in our need to make a positive difference and to use some finely honed tools to help.  You can order here: Directory of Social Change - Practical Project Management for voluntary organisations (dsc.org.uk)

Please contact me if you would like prints. The following formats are available. All prints on paper are sold on ivory mounting board. Frames may be ordered. Prints on canvas are stretched on wood.

Art Prints: Art Prints are created with laser printers onto quality wood pulp art paper.

Gallery Poster: Gallery Poster is a typical art gallery format with laser printer on poster paper, supplied rolled in a tube.

Giclee Prints: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto quality cotton rag paper. They’re known for their vibrant colours, fine details, and archival quality. The term "giclee" comes from the French word meaning "to spray," referring to the precise inkjet spraying process used in their production. They’re guaranteed to last at least 100 years (though no one’s been alive long enough since development to know…)

Embellished Giclee Prints: Embellished Giclee Prints are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-drawn elements to make each cotton paper print unique. The result is a print that combines the advantages of digital printing with a personal touch.

Giclee Prints on Canvas: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto artist canvas material. This gives the print a texture and appearance similar to a traditional painting on canvas so that they resemble original paintings.

Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas: Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-painted elements to make each print unique. Embellishments added on top of canvas give the print a more three-dimensional painterly effect.
