PROJECT MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Managing tasks and projects is one of the keys to a successful organization. Yet, when it comes to “project management” many organizations and individuals feel overwhelmed. However, if you stand back and look, you see that all organizations manage projects. If they did not they would quickly go out of business! The reason for this apparent contradiction is that different people and different departments within the organization approach the project differently.

Our approach to Project Management is not to offer off-the-shelf project management workshops, consulting or training. Our consultants determine which project management tools your organization already has in place and they develop a Project Management Workshop that builds upon this foundation. Our consultants then identify the gaps and overlaps in your approach and eliminate both.

OVERVIEW

The purpose of the Project Management Workshop is to look at the “total” project in a way that enables both the organization and employees to understand and effectively manage them. This workshop, consulting and training not only gives the participants an understanding of Project Management basics but also how to apply the Project Management concepts to their own, real time job projects and daily issues.

OBJECTIVES

Upon successfully completing the workshop, the participants (individually and in group settings) will:

• Be able to describe the basic steps of Project Management. Show that he or she has applied the Project Management concepts to current job issues.
• Understand how to identify and avoid future problems during project implementation.
• Understand how to make the best choices both before and during the implementation of the project.
• Understand the difference between compromise and consensus and know when to work toward consensus and when to accept compromise.

BENEFITS TO THE ORGANIZATION

Managers with solid Project Management skills complete projects more quickly and with a higher rate of project success.  

DURATION

The Project Management Workshop is tailored to specific client needs. Typically it runs from two or five days. The workshop emphasizes application of the ideas presented to live, on-job projects.
