Leading Successful Projects and Programmes
The art of successful project management
This programme provides you with tools and techniques that are practical and flexible to take you beyond the methodologies to help you manage projects in constantly changing environments. Increasingly, conventional approaches to project and programme management are failing to address successfully complexity, uncertainty and rapidly changing conditions. Led by Stephen Carver, we show you the art of project management that breaks the rules, to help you achieve more. By mixing with other experienced project managers you will be able to share knowledge and best practice and identify process improvements.
What is it about?
This programme will give you the very latest thinking about the behaviours that underpin effectiveness in this area. Over the two days, a team of elite faculty who also have a strong track record of industry experience will bring their unique approach to project and programme management to you.
Combining the very latest cutting edge research with case studies, you will explore the different attributes and approaches of projects and programme management. Culminating in the final part of the second day, you will have the opportunity to undertake a real flight simulation exercise to practice some of the roles and responsibilities.
Who is it for?
This programme is designed for project managers who are experienced in delivering projects and are looking for one step further than the methodologies.
What will I get out of it?
- Overview of the current state and future trends in project/programme management - especially those in complex environments
- Understanding of the key skills and behavioural attributes required of project and programme managers to succeed in your organisation
- Improved performance and success in managing projects and programmes.
- You will develop a deep and pragmatic understanding of programme management and how to improve your own personal approach.
