Why this training is crucial for your organisation:
The focus of this training is on improving project management methods throughout the entire project management cycle from initiation, development, execution, delivery and ultimately to monitoring and control to ensure business productivity in a highly competitive environment. As of late, many organisations are answering the clarion call of the need to reinforce effective project management for a better reflection of the ever-changing dynamics of the working environment.
Also, it is clear that leadership is important to the success of a project because leadership is essentially about motivating people. In the planning phases of the project, the project leader conducts the project team and other main project stakeholders through formal and informal decision making in order to achieve agreed goals and objectives. This also calls to form the essential basis for effective team development. To get a project started off right, the project manager must first become a leader, and that the style of leadership does need to change as the project progresses through its life cycle, and as the team matures.
