Build a schedule for brand launch projects with a genuine critical path and realistic durations.
Managing New Brand Launch Projects in Markets
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run brand launch projects properly.
Course Overview
Projects involving brand launch projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Scope on this strand of project and portfolio delivery expands through small agreements made in isolation. Buying a tool rarely fixes this part of project and portfolio delivery; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The programme takes participants through brand launch projects end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The content is relevant to those who own this area of project and portfolio delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this part of project and portfolio delivery to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of brand launch projects is examined, not just described. Mature organisations treat the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of project and portfolio delivery that would make a visible difference.
