Project Management


	Learn how to develop excellence in project planning and execution while you have fun!

'Failing to plan' is often said to be the same as 'planning to fail'! By focusing on developing sound project management skills and processes, you will budget more realistically, make better resource allocations, and manage and mitigate risks more effectively. In turn this will lead to projects that are far more likely to be executed on time and without severe consequences to people.

This is a project management workshop with a difference! As opposed to a day of dry theory, participants are exposed to a live, simulated project where they build a physical structure within an allotted time. As the project management methodology is introduced through the day, participants apply it to the simulation over successive rounds, and the difference in project execution becomes evident in a compelling way. Not only is the learning intense – it is also fun!
