Project Management

Summary:
Organizations take on projects to generate new value. All too often the original vision of the business benefit gets lost in the chaos of project implementation -- sometimes even despite diligent planning and control efforts. This highly interactive seminar uses the "learning by doing" approach to give you a bird's eye view of why projects fail to deliver their intended benefits, and more importantly, what you can do to improve project performance. Through the use of a real-world case study and a table-sized board game (or "practice field"), you experience managing the entire life cycle of a project and learn how to integrate scope, cost, quality, and time concerns. Rooted in the principles of systems thinking popularized by Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline, the workshop reveals the often hidden "cause and effect" on projects and gives you the knowledge and practice necessary to manage projects that deliver maximum value to your company.
