Project Management

Advanced Project Leadership

Driving success through systems thinking and value creation

The Project Management Institute’s latest thinking (PMBOK® Guide version 8), emphasizes the need for leaders to adopt a ‘value-centric mindset’. To do that, we need to understand what value means and how our thinking can help optimize the value-creation chain.

In class, we’ll explore what PMI means and how we can translate the concept into actionable change. Using ‘systems thinking’ methods, the course will model the value creation chain and, in doing so, illuminate the hidden dynamics that underlie project results. Transform the way you think, optimize the way you lead, and elevate your career as you prepare to meet the needs of tomorrow’s organizations.  

This course is ideal for: 
  • Project managers, program managers, PMO managers, project sponsors and technical leaders
  • Professionals working in a project-based environment who want to advance their ability to lead project-related work
  • CEOs and senior leaders
  • Maintain currency by learning PMI’s new principles and direction
  • Use a “thinking-forward” approach to proactively deepen your understanding of the project work
  • Clarify the big picture to get a grip on project complexity
  • Optimize your thought processes to model project behaviour
  • Make more informed decisions to progress the model towards effective project planning
  • Be at the leading edge of the profession as you align to shifting employer expectations
Impact on your organization, team or business:
  • Expand your organization’s project management capacity
  • Reduce foreseeable errors in the project management process, thereby saving time and money while improving employee morale
  • Help project managers become partners in the value creation chain
  • Improve the alignment between project managers, projects teams and senior management
  • Sustain competitive advantage by increasing your project management success rate
