PROGRAMME SUMMARY
This programme addresses both the
"hard” skills and the "soft” skills needed by project managers to plan and
control projects. The "hard” skills are the technical "mechanics” of managing a
project, while the "soft” skills deal with the human issues, and ultimately, it
is people who deliver results on projects.
The goal of this programme is to
assist organizations in developing project managers who are aware of the
strategic importance that project management plays in the achievement of the
mission of their organization, and their role in leading the way to better
performance and profits.
