You
will be introduced to models that have been successfully applied
across hundreds of complex projects.
Knowledge
and understanding is developed through analysis of projects
and programmes that have been executed and reviewed by expert
peers and judged by history. Engagement in practical activities
is used to create accelerated experiences; this is followed
by a rigorous de-briefing that analyses the factors impacting
the decision processes and implementation, introducing a reflective
approach leading to self-appraisal of performance.
Participants
acquire and develop the ability to:
- Identify
and analyse differing perceptions of a situation
- accept
complexity and uncertainty and act effectively under these
conditions
- critically
review their personal performance in discharging their responsibilities
- apply
appropriate tools and techniques to achieve the outcomes
required of them when acting as a project or programme manager
- transfer
strategies, policies and techniques from other domains successfully
into the project and programme context, where they offer
insights and solutions to intractable problems
- network
with their peers and other managers to broaden their understanding
and value
- coach
and 'bring on' colleagues and potential project and programme
managers.
The contact-based units are held at designated conference
centres, which may be different for different groups. Please
