Plan and Control: Project Management Foundations

Despite the countless volumes written on how to manage a project successfully, project management is still part art, part science. But it’s not rocket science.

This hands-on workshop cuts through all the clutter to distill the essential elements of project management into a practical, common-sense process, which can be immediately transferred to the workplace.

Rather than drowning in theory, participants work through an immersive project scenario designed to reflect real-world challenges and opportunities. This scenario creates a common learning environment where participants practice new skills, gain unique insights, and make the right connections among the different stages of the project’s life.

The workshop also addresses the “finer arts” of project management, by highlighting the importance of soft skills, and demonstrating how traditional project management tools can be used to facilitate project communications and negotiations, turning potential challenges into opportunities for alignment.
