Project Leadership Development Programme

Effective project management is crucial for the success of transformational change and business development initiatives in every organisation. At the heart of the project lies the Project Manager who is tasked with delivering the project in line with stakeholder expectations using efficient processes and engaging both those working on the project and those affected by the expected outcome. This highly practical programme will provide a combination of knowledge in technical project management process and terminology together with the skills and attributes required to lead and work effectively with others. The training programme consists of 4 stages, which includes completion of our Project Management: Tools and Techniques, Project Management: People Skills and Project Leadership Review Day courses. Attendees will also be expected to provide a log demonstrating their successful leadership of a significant project within their workplaces.
