Training Courses and Project Management UK, Pearcemayfield

Without the proper briefing and appropriate involvement of key senior managers, PRINCE2® may only marginally improve the performance of projects. The appropriate, timely and informed direction from senior managers is critical to the success of a PRINCE2 project.

This workshop will allow a fully participative and facilitated discussion of strategic issues in managing change by projects using PRINCE2. The workshop can optionally cover issues facing an organisation considering adopting PRINCE2. This workshop is designed as a full day, but can be tailored to one half day to suit the particular requirements of your business.

THE BENEFITS

For organisations implementing PRINCE2, this workshop is an excellent means of answering the following questions in an interactive seminar format:

• What will make PRINCE2 effective in our organisation?
• How do we avoid it becoming too bureaucratic?
• How can it be tailored to fit our culture?
• What are the responsibilities of senior management in PRINCE2 projects?
• What are the training implications?
• What is involved in gaining the PRINCE2 Certificate?

Senior managers attending this briefing are then able to take on Project Board roles in a PRINCE2 project.
