About this programme
The effective management of large, complicated, concurrent projects requires managerial skills, knowledge, and tools that extend beyond those required for the management of single projects.
At this level of project management, project and program managers interface to a much larger degree with the strategic business goals, policies, and objectives of the company, and are typically involved in strategic business and financial decisions affecting the overall success and efficiency of the organization. The processes of Strategic Project Assessment: Identification, Policy Analysis & Selection are critical to the successful selection and management of projects or programs undertaken to achieve the strategic goals of the organization.
This 5-day training course on Strategic Project Assessment: Identification, Policy Analysis & Selection will enable participants to apply the tools and techniques of modern project and program management effectively.
