HeartWare for Effective Project Management  

 

Introduction

Several recent independent research studies have concluded that around two thirds of the failure of projects has been attributed to human factor.

This course provides Project Managers and Project Leaders with the key building blocks required to maximise project successes from initiation right through to completion. It focuses on the critical 'people management' skills and behaviours that many traditional project management courses fail to address.

The key feature of the workshop covers a unique blend of traditional "process" related project management topics and NLP based "people" related topics, thus equipping participants with a powerful "toolkit" to ensure project success. Participants will be taken through a journey of self-discovery of their own preferred interpersonal styles and acquire skills that will enable them to dramatically improve their communication and influencing abilities
