Course Summary
The course recognises the critical importance of the people on the project team to the success or failure of the project. The participants will review the importance of people to a project and their own approach to team management. They will learn team building and people motivation techniques.
This an interactive course with a great deal of participation required from the participants. Case study sessions are undertaken during each module where delegates are expected to review the relevancy of the case to a project of their own.
