Project Management
Any process that involves coordinating multiple internal and external suppliers to deliver bespoke outcomes to stakeholders is, by definition, a project. Delivering those outcomes in full and on time (DIFOT), to the required quality and on budget requires a discipline, a suite of tools and a special skillset that includes strong leadership, organisational and communication skills.
Our Introduction to Project Management workshop is designed to provide participants with a framework and toolset for planning, executing, monitoring and closing projects. Based on well-established methodologies, this program brings the most important project management fundamentals together in an easy to understand and practical workshop designed to prepare your project managers to take control of their projects.
As with all our training workshops, the content, context and duration can be tailored to your organisation’s specific needs, from an introduction to the concepts, through to advanced applications. The workshops are facilitated by senior industry leaders who have extensive project management experience and excellent communication skills and there are extensive opportunities to apply the learning in practical exercises throughout the workshops so that the participants can practice the tools.

Project Overruns
Neglecting project management disciplines often leads to projects exceeding their deadlines and budgets. This can result from inadequate planning, scope creep, and failure to manage resources efficiently. Such overruns not only increase costs but also strain relationships with stakeholders and can jeopardise future projects.
Communication Breakdowns
Effective communication is crucial in project management. Without structured communication plans and regular updates, misunderstandings and information silos can develop, leading to errors, conflicts, and delays in project execution.
Compromised Quality
Poor project management can result in rushed or incomplete work, as teams may cut corners to meet deadlines. This can lead to substandard deliverables that fail to meet client expectations or require significant rework, ultimately harming the project's outcome and the organisation's reputation.
