There is a rapidly growing realisation that more and more management tasks can be better handled as projects. The approach to the task, the disciplines required, the control that is possible and the measurement of the results provide a structure for business that allows organisations to respond flexibly to challenges as they arise, wherever they take place in the world.
Move beyond planning and scheduling to discover the range of skills necessary for effective project management
Many managers believe that project management is simply about planning and scheduling. In fact, with many projects involving complex issues, diverse or even conflicting requirements that must be integrated, and highly uncertain outcomes, managers need a broad range of skills to successfully implement projects. Executives must be capable of responding to contingencies, building relationships within and outside teams, providing leadership and transferring knowledge. While these skills are essential for managing projects, their value is long-lasting and the leadership skills developed through project management can greatly contribute to an executive’s general success.
The International Project Management (PROM) is a five-day programme which will help task-oriented managers by giving them a holistic view of managing projects in terms of leading and motivating teams, mastering complexity and uncertainty as well as embedding projects into the organisational context.
Whether from the manufacturing or services sector, public administration or a private company, profit or non-profit organisation, International Project Management will provide you with important new insights into successful management. Your own experiences and those of your colleague participants will be compared with international examples. You will be part of a team working together with the single goal: enhancing your management skills. |
