Course Overview

Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on strategic project management offices, which nobody trained them for. The hardest part of management offices is rarely deciding — it is holding the decision when it becomes unpopular. Organisations that document this area of organisational leadership properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. This programme builds strategic project management offices from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Progress on this strand of organisational leadership is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about management offices. Participants who influence strategic project management offices without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Every module pairs a short input on management offices with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of organisational leadership broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
