Managing Digital Electoral Campaigns and Electronic Voting Systems
An applied course in digital electoral projects built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Most recovery effort on digital electoral projects is spent on problems that were visible early. A schedule for this strand of project and portfolio delivery without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Buying a tool rarely fixes the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for digital electoral projects, not for observers of it. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of project and portfolio delivery is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Participants finish able to explain the practice within project and portfolio delivery to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It treats digital electoral projects as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this strand of project and portfolio delivery is examined, not just described. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within project and portfolio delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
