About the workshop
PMO owns a unique place within an organisation, tackling the complexities of large-scale change and the execution of vital programs. Frameworks and forecasts form the backbone of any successful Project Management agenda, but in order to punch it up to the next level and emerge as a true leader and business partner, project managers need to expand their knowledge base and master a new set of leadership skills.
This two-day interactive workshop will give you the tools needed to effectively guide and support your team through complex projects and reinforce healthy practice. You will learn how to tailor your communication and behaviour and gain insight into how this affects the team’s capability. Throughout a series of expert-led sessions, you will experience a range of new techniques and processes to assist them in overcoming the common challenges of this dynamic field.
