Why should you
consider this program?
Because this
program teaches important project management techniques and teamwork
skills in a matrix environment and helps participants address the
complex challenges of managing projects effectively, influencing
without authority, managing ambiguity, and building cooperation across
department lines. |
This
two-modules (two days each) program teaches project leaders or team members on
cross-functional teams:
1. The structural steps and techniques
necessary to plan and execute a project effectively (defining scope,
estimating, planning, etc.).
2. How to collaborate with and
influence others over whom they have no positional authority.
By examining their responses to a
video-taped case study, participants learn
how they can modify their relationship behaviors to improve their own
individual performance and that of their teams. By applying each of
the project management tools to an actual project for which they are
responsible, the participants learn the
skill set necessary to manage the project on time and
within scope and budget. Aided by Sterling Institute's Project
Management Practices Survey, conducted prior to the workshop,
participants explore how to gain
commitment from other team members, manage ambiguity, and create a
collaborative working environment.
