Objective:

To give employees the resources needed to meaningfully participate in the delivery of long-term, organisation or department-wide programmes without loosing steam or getting veered off course along the way. Participants will have a better awareness of what is required of them as individuals and as a team on such long-distance undertakings and will be more motivated to see themselves as part of a whole working towards a common goal.

Overview:

This course outlines the vital steps taken by different stakeholders during the course of a project to ensure high performance and a successful outcome. Participants become familiar with the different phases of a project and their particular role in each one. The focus is on how their own attitude and level of participation can make a difference to the end result, however remote and distant it appears.

Participants will develop an understanding of:

• What makes or breaks high performance projects.
• The full project cycle and how to distinguish between the different phases.
• Project management terminology.
• How their choices and decisions affect the final outcome.
• The importance of keeping in mind the bigger picture.

Participants will learn key skills to:

• Become aware of and communicate their personal and work needs in order to achieve effective teamwork.
• Challenge thoughts and feelings that may hinder them.
• Keep focused when things get though.
• Self-monitor and take responsibility for their own part.
• Ackowledge and celebrate small wins on the way.
