SDRM Elective
This 2½-day introduction offers proven approaches and emerging concepts for aligning your organization's project and program initiatives with its strategic decisions.
Learn why traditional "project management as usual" practices don't work in today's complex, fast-paced business environments, and explore a comprehensive organizational mastery model that does. Students will emerge with a firm grasp of what it takes for an organization to be focused and successful with projects and programs that consistently execute business strategies.
Learn how to:
- Align project initiatives with strategic objectives
- Select, prioritize, and manage a portfolio of projects in a product development or other fast-paced business environment
- Complete projects faster, with more efficient resource deployment
- Use new tools to support planning and execution, thereby shrinking time-to-market
- Address "crisis mentality" and use time more effectively
- Champion advanced project management with both co-located and virtual teams
- Close the gap between knowing and doing
- Customize a best practices-based organizational mastery model for direct application in your organization
- Build a stronger project-based matrix organization that is capable of consistently high performance.
