LEADING STRATEGIC PROJECTS SUCCESSFULLY

Providing a holistic view of managing projects in terms of mastering complexity and uncertainty, motivating teams and managing stakeholders.

Programme summary

Organisations rely on their managers to lead and execute strategic projects in order to realise their broader objectives. Initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, product launches and strategic realignments all demand skills in navigating complexity, understanding risk and effective stakeholder management. If their managers lack such capabilities, then organisations will struggle to take advantage of new opportunities, drive change or create value.

An effective project is about more than good planning and scheduling; they need to be managed efficiently too, avoiding pitfalls and delivering the right outcome.

Leading Strategic Projects Successfully is a three-day programme that provides project leaders with this holistic view. We adopt a managerial – rather than a technical – perspective, and focus on issues that concern those who lead projects. We also consider the impact on those who may have oversight and those who will be required to implement new initiatives.

Coverage of topics

• Planning and control - project monitoring and complexity• Managing uncertainty - project risk management and novel projects• Relationship management - managing stakeholders and motivating
