Overview

A programme is made up of a specific set of projects identified by an organisation that together will deliver some defined objective, or set of objectives, for the organisation. The objectives, or goals, of the programme are typically at a strategic level so that the organisation can achieve benefits and improvements in its business operation.

This course will analyse programme management techniques and procedures, explaining how they work and how you can use them to best effect in practice, enabling you to work in a programme environment.

This live, interactive half day training will take you through how to plan, launch, measure performance and, ultimately, deliver better quality products and services. If the course is to be delivered in-house to your team, it can be lengthened from one full day to two full days so as to cover all the elements of programmes that you need to master.

Who is the seminar designed for?

The event is relevant to those who need an understanding of programme management techniques and approaches, as well as leaders and managers who want an understanding of the importance of proper planning and who need a thorough grasp of programme management concepts in order to deliver complex organisational goals.

How will you benefit from attending?

Through studying the programme management approach, and considering a topical case study, you will understand the advantages of using this overall approach, and most importantly, how to implement this way of working most effectively and without risk in your own place of work.
