Over the last 20 years, the importance of project management has increased dramatically. Projects have developed into a completely natural and widespread instrument in everyday business life. At least basic project management skills are now an important basis.
Skills for "Ad-hoc" Project Managers
Project management is not only carried out by people with the job title of project manager. Many people are faced with the challenge of managing projects at short notice and in addition to their actual tasks. However, there is usually not enough time for comprehensive project management training or even for certification in one of the major methodologies.
Focused and modular
I am offering a compilation of focused elements that can be implemented at short notice, which start with the essential basics and allow for more in-depth knowledge over the course of the project. Accompanying individual coaching has proven particularly useful. The specific content of the training courses is adapted to the conditions and characteristics of your organization. We will build on your standards, especially in risk and quality management.
Basics of projectmanagement
If possible, before the start of the project is a good time for this basic seminar. Depending on the scope of the content, there are two or three seminar days. If desired, I can also convey the content in several one-day workshops:
- Principles and working methods in project management
- Role and responsibilities as a project manager
- Definition of goals and project start
- Plan, manage and complete projects
- Stakeholders and project communication
- Documentation and reporting
- Basics of issue, risk and quality management
Accompanying coaching
The basic seminar cannot cover all eventualities. That is why it has proven very useful in practice to accompany the first projects of new ad-hoc project managers with intensive coaching.
On the one hand, it will be about technical project management topics (methods). On the other hand, as the project progressed, issues of team leadership, conflict management and dealing with stakeholders became increasingly important.
Special workshops to deepen individual topics
Depending on the size and complexity of the projects that were taken on at short notice, it makes a lot of sense to deepen individual topics in specialized workshops. These are often:
- Issue management and escalation
- Stakeholder engagement
- Project marketing Teamwork and leadership of teams
- Conflict management
- Change Management
I am happy to provide you with all the details of the seminar topics, just contact me.
