Planning and Delivery - Implementation

About the course:

With project management being a core skill across many roles and industries in organisations, having the ability to effectively plan and deliver on work to ensure smooth implementation is critical. This course will introduce participants to project management methodologies with a specific focus on delivery and implementation. Having a robust implementation skill will improve the likelihood of successful outcomes by ensuring efficient use of resources, effective communication, and proactive risk management. Throughout this course, participants will be exposed to how to design an effective project roadmap, the importance of effective communication, self-awareness and leadership that is required to set the stage for effective project execution.

This course not only builds solid knowledge of concepts in the learner, it is also structured to progressively build real skills through application-based activities promoting deliberate practice within the learner's unique context supported by reflection and course-correction as required.
