"Plans are worthless. Planning is essential"
Business Scenario
It isn’t just the effective control of processes that delivers the successful outcome to a project; it is principally the involvement of people and an intelligent marshalling of their contributions that makes all the difference. Good project managers need to be dynamic, responsive and focused in a way that wins their project influence and support from those in a position to make change happen.
Who should attend?
All Managers and staff delegated or assigned to undertake a substantial project within budget and on time.
The purpose:
After identifying and understanding the key characteristics of successful project management, delegates will plan these key skills into their respective project briefs.
The programme includes:
- The competencies required of a Project Manager
- The three essential criteria for managing a project
- The key stages of a typical project
- Organising the project using charts and analyses
- Constructing a responsibility matrix
- Estimating, scheduling and budgeting
- Conducting effective meetings
- Introducing change
- Influencing and delegating
- Winning commitment during a presentation
The approach:
With group exercises, informal discussions, trainer presentation and video, delegates bring their own experiences and challenges and explore new behaviours to ensure a successful outcome to their project.
