About the workshop
Project managers own a unique place within their organisation, tackling the complexities of large-scale change and the execution of vital programmes. Frameworks and forecasts form the backbone of any successful project management agenda, but to reach 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 workshop will give you the tools to effectively guide and support your team through complex projects and reinforce healthy practice. You will learn how to tailor communication and behaviour and will gain an insight into how this affects your team’s capability. Throughout a series of expert-led sessions, delegates will experience a range of new techniques and processes to assist them in overcoming the common challenges of this dynamic field.
