“Driving Change for Project Managers” is an interactive and immediately applicable 2 x ½ day workshop to help Project Managers successfully drive change by integrating change management into their project execution. The course focuses on the key activities Project Managers need to do and how to use them to manage decision makers, enable adoption and realize value from projects. Contact us for more information!
Many businesses and project managers are faced with a choice of choosing a traditional plan-driven approach (or what is sometimes called “Classical" or “Waterfall”) or a more Agile approach for their projects. This can be a very important decision with significant business impact. Sometimes that requires blending the two approaches together in the right proportions to fit the situation to get the best of both worlds. It takes more skill to do that and this workshop will help you achieve this.
