Masterclass context

In collaboration with Project Management experts from the Project Management Institute (PMInst (UK) Ltd) Ark Group has built a masterclass designed to provide the skills needed to complete projects on time within budget time and time again.

Attend the Developing fundamental project management skills for non-project managers masterclass and consistently meet and exceed project expectations. During and beyond the current financial turmoil, when budgets are being squeezed and timelines are being put under pressure, team leaders are increasingly called upon to deliver low-cost projects quickly and within budget. You may have formal training in project management, but managing projects and programmes is often integral to the success of your department’s goals and organisation’s strategic objectives.

During the course of the day, you will focus on ways to manage and complete the running of projects if the organisation is unwilling to change or your budgets and timelines alter. You will also learn key practices in how to build appropriate flexibility in to your programme plan; manage risk and expectation from all areas of the business and develop your staff, giving them the appropriate skills and knowledge to implement projects on time, without over-spending.

Attend this masterclass and gain practical, implementable skills, as well as develop essential strategies for your projects. Hear how to avoid project pitfalls before they occur and implement changes to improve the management of projects. Benefit from real case studies that explore the key factors in successful planning and learn core tactics for any project manager, including:

• Aligning the programme objectives to the business needs
• Drawing up realistic timescales
• Getting your project back on target
• Maintaining the resources you need to complete your project
