Project Management

Project Management
3 days

 
This programme allows participants to gain maximum project management experience from minimal expense in both cost and time. It achieves this by using a sophisticated project management simulator which produces relevant learning, in a context which responds to management behaviour and decision making recognised and accepted by the most experienced of project managers.
In general project management training concentrates heavily on the use and application of tools and techniques, almost to the exclusion of all else. Yet research by Pugh Roberts in the States shows that despite the increase in support from rampant information technology, more than half of all major projects fail. The problem for project management of today does not lie only in ever increasing sophisticated tools and techniques but also in good understanding of people and the application of well understood motivational and leadership skills.
Our programme is not only differentiated through the use of high reality simulation, it also asks students to demonstrate that they have understood and can integrate the behavioural skills needed for the project manager to consistently deliver success. The programme moves academic learning from the lecture and text book into a living context of the project managers world. Students are required to make difficult decisions under pressure within the realistically presented constraints of business life.
In 1997 this programme was given a Suppliers Excellence Award by NASA where it is one of their core programmes. The citation reads that it is ‘For outstanding accomplishment in enhancing the state of project management excellence both within NASA and the USA”
 
Participants will
·          Learn the key tools for planning a project.
·          Understand the key techniques for tracking a project.
·          Gain understanding of the key issues around project team management.
·          Practise the learning through using a PC project simulator.
·          Develop a personal project management action plan.
 
NOTE – This course can be run without the PC sim using “Live Case” methodology in which participants develop their true project management plan over the 3 days.
