No off-the-shelf training

Effective training is practice-oriented. People do not learn project management in boring theoretical presentations of methods, processes and tools. They could read a book instead.

ayxano seminars includes all the theory but is presented in a practice-oriented way. The content is geared towards your specic projects instead of unspecic scenarios which are not related to your business. Over 25 years' experience provide the basis for this unique approach. Attendees learn the methods and processes from all project management knowledge areas, and are immediately able to apply them to their own projects. Moreover, they learn all the important aspects, as methodology alone cannot always be used to address the problem.

People derive knowledge far beyond pure methodology. This helps to avoid many mistakes and enable them to drive their projects proactively. It is also a priceless differentiator over conventional training programmes, which usually leave people to face the real challenges by themselves. In addition, people get helpful tools, templates, checklists and reports which can be applied immediately and make the day-to-day administration easy and less time-consuming.

Adoption and usability count

The focus in our seminars is placed on the interactivity between teacher and student: Answering questions, analysing the challenges in real projects and dening solutions. Our seminars do not consist of boring people with PowerPoint slides. We always use the most effective tools to explain and visualise even complex topics. The focus is on immediate adoption of the learned content by applying it to the students' projects.

The content of our seminars, in particular, is customised to your company-specic needs and your real projects and challenges. Your project managers and teams learn what they really need and do not just receive a standard programme, which seldom meets the demands of their projects.

We pursue the concept of focusing on the level of maturity before delving into further complexity. It is more valuable to have adopted the rst steps well instead of trying forever to apply the most complex methodology to your projects. Simple methods and processes are usually much more efcient than complex solutions dened in a theoretical environment and remote from real-life projects.

This is usually best applied to company-specic seminars. Nevertheless, our long-term experience and a well selected seminar group enable us to use the same concept in open seminars too.

Target audience

Our advanced seminar is mainly targeted towards active project managers and teams. Training with the project team helps to create a common understanding, functions as a team-building activity and results in high-performance teams. It can very well be included as part of a project kick-off, especially in larger programmes with several smaller projects led by sub-project leaders and supported by a project ofce.

The advanced seminar addresses more advanced project management areas and provides invaluable knowledge which extends beyond the fundamentals. As with all our seminars, the focus is on practice. The learning effect is applied directly to your projects, resulting in real deliverables. It gives an effective learning experience. Instead of just learning theory, the students work on their projects and leave the seminar with useful results, thus turning the seminar time into project working time.

Project ManagementSeminars for Special Topics

Standard training and pricing information

Target audience

Our “Beginners” seminar offers a simple entry point. It is valuable to everybody who is involved in projects and is part of a project team. This includes, but is not limited to, project managers, sub-project leaders and even complete project teams. Even if the person is already active in the project manager role, but has never received proper training can benet to a high extent. Training for project teams creates a great baseline, ensures common understanding and assists in building a high-performance team.

Although this seminar focuses on the foundation level, it follows the same philosophy as our advanced training programmes – practice-oriented, interactive, needs driven and target-oriented. Many people lose interest in project management training courses due to the purely theoretical and complex delivery of the training content. Our seminars introduce people to the reality of project management by working on real projects instead of just studying theory.

Seminar goal

Getting an initial overall picture, understanding the basics and methods and directly applying them in practice.

Seminar content (proposal)

Soft skills – it's just too hard without them

Project management methods – there is a wide range

Project phases –structure does work wonders

Project planning – do not replace coincidence by an error

Project execution – avoiding black ice and falling rocks

Project monitoring – early recognition allows for proactivity

Project control – nothing bad about this

Project closure – all obstacles removed

Duration

To ensure that the foundation training course is effective, you will need about three days. It is key to work on your active projects and ensure real deliverables. Our seminars are all customer specic, aligned to your business needs and on your preferred methbased odology.

Amplication and expert topics

.Seminars on special topics for project managers who wish to achieve an expert level. Risk, quality, programme and cost management, as well as agile methodology. Everything is possible. What counts is the real need and opportunity to apply in practice.

Learning works and only lasts if it is applied in practice. Not using skills make them disappear. In project management, in particular, it is all about practising. What is required for your company depends on your business model. If your business model is based on successful project delivery to your customers, a sound methodology and a professional project portfolio management featuring key performance indicators is critical. If you just need to manage some internal projects over the year, you need much less.

ayxano is therefore focused on professional development programmes geared to your needs instead of covering a broad range standard aspects. We analyse your requirements and offer training modules and supporting activities to precisely meet what your business requires in the most effective way and at a competitive price

Seminar goal

The seminar goal is dened in line with your requirements. According to the principal: maturity rst, complexity last – we ensure success and fast return on investment.

Examples of seminar topics

Leadership competence – our leadership seminars

Risk management - quantitative risk evaluation

Quality management – internal and external quality assurance

Performance indicators – professional earned value analysis

Agile methodology – not just a method – it's a mindset

Simulation – learn from mistakes but in a secure environment

Duration

Accompanying training based on blocks of 1-2 days represents the most effective approach. This ensures sustainability and limits the impact on your day-to-day business.
