Overview
Today's dynamic business environment has broad implications for how programs and projects are planned and implemented, as well as for the individuals who are chartered to lead these efforts. Organizations need leaders who are adaptive in their approaches to project execution. This course will expose participants to new ways of thinking about how projects should best be executed. It will enable them to help their organizations and teams operate with rigor to meet regulations or safety concerns, while offering increased levels of agility, creativity, and innovation. Examples and case studies will be presented from a wide range of organizations, industries and functions, including: large multi-nationals to post start-up organizations; development to delivery to operations functions; and co-located to globally dispersed teams.
It is expected that participants have completed the SAPM foundation course, Converting Strategy into Action, before enrolling in this course.
