Mastering Multiple Projects
This is a practical
and highly interactive two-day workshop focusing on the skills you need to
manage any larger and longer-term task on your ‘To Do’ list.
You may not be called
a project manager but the skills of scoping and planning work, getting buy in
from stakeholders and delivering both fast and accurate results are essential
for anyone looking to move on in their career.
Particularly popular
in graduate and first-line manager programmes, this course has modules on how
to establish what the end user really requires, how to plan multiple lines of
concurrent activity, how to delegate without authority and how to make time for
project work in your hectic daily schedule.
Delegates will be
encouraged to apply techniques to a ‘live’ project during training and will
leave with a detailed action plan for adopting and embedding more effective
approaches. A follow up telephone
coaching session with the course tutor is available for any who request it.
