Stand out from your peers by having successful projects.
Description
Statistics show that only 20% of all projects are a success. Those that are successful, have competent team members in each project role who can safely, effectively and efficiently perform their assigned tasks. Competence is often defined as a combination of awareness, skills, knowledge and attitude that enables an individual to perform a job to the standards required for successful job performance.
Being involved in managing projects in operating facilities is one of the most exciting jobs you can have. You are involved in all phases of a project, from design through construction to startup. The fun, excitement, satisfaction and personal fulfillment that comes from a successful project startup is something every project team member should experience.
We want you to get the recognition you deserve and to experience the feelings and personal satisfaction of a successful project. Through our competence-based workshop developing Effective Project Practitioners, we will give you the practical tools to allow your projects to save time, money, and produce a quality product, making it a success.
This practical three day workshop Developing Effective Project Practitioners is designed for those looking for the “How To” for projects. The Workshop will provide you with your own secret library of practical project management tools and techniques that you can use right away as well as valuable training and information on:
The Core Concepts for successful projects - including Planning and Communication
Project Planning and Control – including Risk and Earned Value Analysis
Project Content - including Project Appraisal and Scope Definition
Behavioral Attributes – including Managing Meetings and Buy-in of Stakeholders
General Management – including Procurement and Project Safety
Developing Effective Project Practitioners is not knowledge (recall of facts) based training, which will not guarantee project success but competence-based training (demonstrated ability to perform) designed to teach project practitioners the characteristics that lead to success on the job. Competence-based training is for those whose personal success depends on project success.
Developing Effective Project Practitioners reflects Level D, the Project Practitioner Level, of the International Project Management Association 4-Level Certification program (www.ipma.ch/asp) and the USA’s National Competence Baseline (http://www.asapm.org/). IPMA is the world’s oldest project management organization and is an international network of national project management societies in over 40 countries.
Objectives
This course is designed for and considered a must for plant personnel new to project management and others who are involved in managing the design and construction of projects in operating facilities, i.e. engineers, technologists and technicians, tradesmen, maintenance personnel, and other personnel from industrial users, utilities, municipalities, educational institutions, commercial facilities, consulting engineering firms and manufacturers. Topics covered in this course are also of great value to managers and other non-technical project personnel.
