Description

Many of us recognize that the most important challenge in our jobs today is the management of various projects. These challenges may include managing clients, new research projects, initiating a new employee recruitment campaign, the creation of a new program or a new product launch. Whatever your projects are, they require you to have sound project management skills.

This skill-based workshop offers a practical ‘starter kit’ for participants in the form of tools and insights. Participants have the chance to delve not only into the solid principles of project management, but to put these principles into practice.

During the first two days, fundamental project management principles and techniques are addressed. The principles are based on the Project Management Institute's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK®Guide), and are being successfully applied to projects of all sizes and types within the business world. Techniques are applied through simple tools and templates that can be immediately applied to your job to address real life project situations.
