Project Managers work in challenging engagements today. Frequently, requirements are not frozen, support groups have different priorities and timelines are tight. When reprieves are rare and second chances just don’t exist, it is imperative that they exceed all expectations the first time. Project Managers are often required to work with several unknowns: new team members, unproven technologies, conflicting requirements and unclear expectations. They need to be capable of pulling together and guiding a diverse, matrixed team to deliver results, much like the conductor of a symphony orchestra. Forte’s prime offering, “The Advanced Project Management Program”, an interactive workshop filled with real-world scenarios and exercises, addresses this urgent need for your practising Project Managers to scale up. Our programs have been designed with the objective of providing answers to the following timeless questions:
- How can Project Managers manage their projects proactively?
- Can PMs see their role differently? What should Project Managers do to build positive perceptions?
- What are the expectations of their job beyond what is documented?
- What is the “big picture” of your project? And why is knowing this important?
- What do clients look for but don’t explicitly articulate?
- How can Project Managers lead a globally diverse and distributed team effectively?
- How are Innovation and Client Focus demonstrated in the context of a Project?
- What is Leadership and why is it important?
The main topics covered in this workshop are:
- Understanding project context – “The Big Picture”
- Team Management
- Client Focus
- Risk Management
- Project Leadership
- Stakeholder Engagement
