Project managers sit at the center of an agency’s operational universe, ensuring all moving parts of projects run not just smoothly, but also with utmost efficiency, effectiveness, and a high-quality output. This requires a unique blend of skills. In this program, we'll focus on three key “Power Skills” the Project Management Institute has identified as most critical for success in today's rapidly changing world.

Through a mix of lecture, application-oriented activities and peer learning, we will support participants in developing key leadership skills to drive projects forward amidst increasingly complex team dynamics. Participants will walk away with a new view on their role as project leaders and a set of tools that improve their ability to understand key stakeholders and strengthen relationships, facilitate productive team collaboration, and utilize critical thinking skills to problem-solve in new ways.

By the end of the series, each participant will be equipped with a holistic set of skills that positions them as a dynamic and effective project leader. Elevate your project management capabilities, drive success, and lead with confidence in the ever-changing landscape of project delivery.
