GLOBAL LEARNING AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Project Management Essentials for the

Unofficial Project Manager

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Today’s knowledge workers have quietly

slipped into the role of the unofficial project

manager. Stakeholders, scope creep, no

formal training, and a lack of process all

combine to raise the probability of project

failure, costing organizations time, money,

and employee morale. Project management

isn’t just about managing logistics, but

requires employing skills of “informal

authority” so team members are inspired to

contribute to project success!

This work session provides participants with

the mind-set, skill set, and toolset, focusing

on a disciplined process to execute projects

and to master informal authority, in order to

consistently deliver successful projects to

completion.
