Develop advanced technical and relationship building skills while managing a complex business project. Experience and grow from the challenges presented in this realistic computer simulation. Benefit from the guidance and coaching of experienced project management facilitators.
Description
The Advanced Project Management Simulation Powered workshop is an intense experience in learning and practicing today’s more sophisticated project management skills. In this 3 day workshop participants learn, through lecture and computer simulation, advanced project management concepts like individual and team motivation, leadership, earned value, procurement management, stakeholder relationship management, and critical chain. These concepts are practiced and integrated into a real-life learning experience as the participants manage a 28 week project compressed into three days time. Participants use the project simulator to manage the technical (planning, controlling and executing) dimensions and lead the human side of a complex business project from start to finish. |
Project experienced guides introduce advanced tools and techniques for managing and leading a project in today’s challenging environment. Then in teams of four, participants turn that knowledge into performance through a computer simulation of real-life people, a real-life company, and real-life project. The learning comes from doing; making mistakes, experiencing successes, and repetition. The project unfolds differently depending on team decisions and on random project events.
