When successful organisations set direction and priorities based on strategy, the challenge then becomes transforming strategic intent into reality. This course is about training how to use project management to achieve this.
Making project management a strategic organisational competence
One person is reponsible for:
- the overall management of the project and its team
- the monitoring, control and integration management of all project resources, cost, schedule, scope, quality, risk, procurement, communication and stakeholders
- maintaining the link between the project outcomes and the project charter
- the realisation of benefits (which often exist outside the life of the project)
- keeping all stakeholders informed
Senior executives can be confident that:
- a vital role, that should not be outsourced, can be activated when needed
- project managers can perform from the moment they are assigned
- projects have management from the moment of initiation
- financial, people and other resources are managed as the organisation prescribes
- status, progress and risks are monitored and controlled
- project management professionalism creates part of the organisations future culture
Project managers apply project management knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements and achieve project goals.
They know why project management is necessarily different from other management approaches. They understand the strategic role that projects play in how organisations succeed, learn and change. Their focus is shaped by the goals, resources and schedule of each project and they take responsibility for making the project their own while inspiring a sense of shared purpose within their project team.

Project managers are trained to apply project management knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements and achieve project goals.
They know the strategic role projects play in how their organisation will succeed, learn and change. They apply a unique focus shaped by the goals, resources and schedule of each project and take responsibility for making these their own and inspire a sense of shared purpose within their project team.
They know how to organise for success.
They are passionate and goal-oriented, and understand
They accept the challenge and responsibility of driving business results.
They work well under pressure and are comfortable with change and complexity in dynamic environments.
They can shift readily between the "big picture" and the small-but-crucial details, knowing when to concentrate on each.
Project managers cultivate the people skills needed to develop trust and communication among all of a project's stakeholders: its sponsors, those who will make use of the project's results, those who command the resources needed, and the project team members.
