Embed effective project governance with confidence

Distinct from project managers who deliver projects, it’s the role of the project sponsor to ensure those projects are strategically aligned, with clear lines of accountability and active decision-making. This tailored programme – available in-house only – introduces the tools and techniques for effective project oversight. How the programme is designed depends on your needs and the needs of your organisation. For example, we can work with the senior team to embed good project governance and project portfolio management. We can help you better understand your role in project accountability and show you how you can enable great project management.

Does this programme run online?

Yes, and also face to face (as soon as it is safe to do so). It's equally suitable for both options. For more information on the differences between online and face to face training, as well as our social distancing guidelines, visit our Learning and Development page.

I'm interested in group training for people at our organisation

If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.

These include:

your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.

In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course). Contact us online or call 020 7978 1516 to speak to one of our experienced consultants.

Who is the programme for?

This intensive one or two day programme is for senior managers – heads of department or directors – who act as sponsors for organisational projects.

“The programme gave us a better understanding of how and where the role of project leader fits in for us as senior managers and the steps we can take to oversee things more effectively. Following the programme I can already see a change amongst my colleagues to try something different and to be more accountable.”
