Workshop approach
Through discussions, videos and group activities, the first module supports you through the process of developing a credible project plan. The second module exposes you to the three most common project problems associated with scheduling, resourcing, and scoping. Using the ‘say, show, do’ approach, appropriate responses are analysed.
The two workshop modules are separated by 4-6 weeks, which allows the learning and personal impact to be considerably enhanced. It allows you to try out the ideas on your projects and come back to discuss what to do next.
During and after the workshop we encourage you to contact the CITI facilitator to discuss your projects and how to implement techniques. This supports the learning and is particularly effective when you are working in isolation.
Duration
3 days and 2 days, separated by a one month gap.
