Effective skills in project management are
increasingly essential in today's competitive
environment. In the drive to respond to competitive
forces and customer expectations, project management is
a key enabler in the pursuit of reduced cycle times,
overhead reduction, and product/service enhancement. At
the same time, de-layering, downsizing, and the growth
of cross functional problem solving has pushed many
people into a project management role who've never had
guidance in how to do it effectively. Even if they've
mastered the technical side of project management - the
planning, budgeting, and resource allocation part -
managing the politics of project management is still a
mystery.
Participants will learn:
- To apply a comprehensive project management discipline to the tasks of planning, organizing and monitoring project progress
- How to work with project teams to engage early and establish commitment to common objectives
- How to frame ‘bad news’ to gain acceptance and buy-in among key players
- How to manage a project without taking on all the work
- How to be a catalyst to move initiatives forward
Managing Complex Projects is a highly
interactive two-day workshop designed to address both the
technical and the facilitative aspects of project
management. The program incorporates case studies,
application exercises and small and large group
discussion to make the principles of project management
come alive.
Managing Complex Projects is offered
as a two-day customized, in-house implementation. For
