Control change to hybrid event projects so every variation has a price and a decision.
Managing Major Hybrid Event Projects Combining In-Person and Virtual Attendance
Build a working method for hybrid event projects that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
A schedule for hybrid event projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. The estimate for the practice within project and portfolio delivery that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this part of project and portfolio delivery is rarely technical. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a delivery plan for hybrid event projects as they go. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda under scrutiny. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of project and portfolio delivery for the first time and those improving an existing approach. It concentrates on the parts of hybrid event projects that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Improvement in this aspect of project and portfolio delivery stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme closes with an action plan for the project and portfolio delivery capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
