Creativity and Project Management

Kursbeschreibungen

Project management is a well-proven method to deliver a specific outcome to a customer. The outcome can be a tangible product or something much less tangible (such as a change management program). The customer can be internal or external.
What projects have in common is that they are multidisciplinary and team members have to learn to work together, they need to be both creative and disciplined, and to work to a common aim. The project manager has to steer the team to deliver what is needed.

Approaches are needed that supplement the science of project management with the art of project management. This will improve project effectiveness, efficiency and success rate. Helping the team to deliver the right outcomes in the right way.

Interviews of scores of experienced major project managers and leaders of project companies revealed that PM literature and training focus on the science or process of PM. While the actual result is insured by the “art” of PM.

Our experience is strongly in agreement with the need for “art” and the “science” of PM.

Company Results in like industries or divisions within Companies are 20% - 33% higher when the right organizational climate is present. “Healthy” companies increased their earnings by 18%.

Leadership style is part of the “art” of project execution.

This course is available in three different programmes:

• A One Day Introduction Programme that introduces participants to the art of project management.
• A Two Day Immersion programme that explores the art of project management in more depth.
• A Five Day Block Week, which fully explores the depth and breadth of the art and science of project management.

The 5-Day Block Week will run on consecutive days. The first day of the block week constitutes the Introduction Progamme, and participants may choose to only attend this first day.

The first two days of the block week constitutes the Immersion Programme, and participants may choose to only attend the first two days.

Participants may also choose to complete the full 5 days.
