Executive Workshop: Executive Sponsorship
Project Management: What Separates Great Organizations from Mediocre Ones
Overview
Over time, corporate success is driven by two things - your ability to compete day-to-day in serving your customers, and your ability to change with the market, to meet new needs and expectations of your customers. Strong project management is critical to delivering on both of the objectives, and it's especially important to the second one. Executive sponsorship has been identified as one of the greatest contributors to project success when managing change, while the lack of that sponsorship is probably one of the greatest reasons for failure. Hear how senior leaders play a critical role in the introduction and acceptance of project management in any organization. Senior leaders will also learn how to be visible and active, through ongoing actions in support of project management as an organizational practice and while sponsoring specific projects.
