This two day seminar is focused on teaching the leadership skills and management processes essential for successfully delivering projects in today???s dynamic environment. Traditional project management training tends to stress an array of tools, methodologies, and knowledge areas, some of which have excellent value, but some of very small incremental value. This seminar focuses on project management practices that have consistently demonstrated value across all project types. It also emphasizes the importance of leadership in setting project direction and in proactively influencing critical outcomes.
