The aim of this two-day workshop is to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to move to a more senior or comprehensive project management role.
This workshop addresses the leadership behaviours of Adaptability, Collaboration, and Decision Making on our Leadership Competencies Framework.
Description
This workshop addresses topics that go beyond the operational planning and control of a project. These may be seen as the 'softer' albeit critical aspects of project management that emerge when the practitioner moves to a more senior or comprehensive project management role. The advanced topics are structured to address the project environment, the leader's role, the team and problem issues that surface during execution.
This workshop qualifies for NZ Trade and Enterprise’s Capability Development Voucher Scheme.
