In today’s dynamic and demanding markets, organizations that want to lead and achieve growth that far exceeds what their competition is planning for as well as what they have been used to in the past, cannot afford to be just a good organization, but rather a Great Organisation. Great Organisations need to adopt aggressive, well-balanced, and coordinated strategies to achieve their desired vision. Those strategies need to identify attainable and measurable goals for which the organization can assure that their strategies will be deployed as planned. What does this mean? Organizations that want to become Great Organisations need to shift their strategy from “Running the Business” to “Growing the Business”. This would require those organizations to initiate, strategically align, prioritize, plan, and successfully deliver hundreds of projects to achieve their desired vision. Those will include strategy, operational, new products, new services, and capital investment projects. Projects that will require individuals from the different functional divisions to be set accountable for delivering their scope as well as manage resources, labor, and non-labor, collaborate with other team members, and communicate with external and internal stakeholders. Having a project management methodology will strongly help organizations to achieve their strategic objectives.
The environment of current business requires an increased focus on practices and skills in planning projects and work, properly organizing tasks, and one’s work to improve productivity and delegating work to empowered staff. Businesses and indeed, all organizations, find themselves needing more productive methods of planning, more appropriate goals, and effective means of accomplishing work. A focus on using productive best practices allows for effective and efficient management of work and making changes in the organization. This course is designed to give participants an understanding of several management methods, processes, and procedures, as well as practice on several key management techniques. The principles used are easily adjusted to an organization’s or individual’s work assignments. The conference presents a methodology of common, standard management techniques using a simple theoretical foundation and enhances learning with practical activities so participants can develop knowledge and skill to manage more effectively and efficiently.
The overall aim of this course is to provide participants with the necessary skills required to plan their projects by creating project scope statements and project work breakdown structures. Additionally, participants will learn how to develop key performance indicators for monitoring and controlling their project schedule and budget. The course also aims at assisting participants in appraising the feasibility of their projects by applying capital budgeting techniques. Finally, the course will cover how to effectively plan project stakeholders’ engagement and manage their expectations.
