Course Synopsis
Global trends are reshaping the competitive dimensions in the world and are driving the need for increased use of “borderless,” or global, project management. The management of the global projects cuts across organisational and national borders. To be successful, project managers must be prepared to overcome a unique set of obstacles.
Special challenges arise from differences in cultures, tradition, values, philosophies and languages of the project partners. In addition, attitudes of the project team in each of the partner organisations take on added importance. The financial risks and implications of the project can be immense, extending far beyond the financial capabilities of any one partner operating independently.
In Managing Global Projects, you will learn how to
approach these complex global management issues as
well as how to minimise the risks inherent in doing
business in the worldwide marketplace. Participants will
develop an understanding of the many unique problems
inherent in managing a global project and explore ways
to solve them.
Get numerous tips, templates and tools that you can
apply to your global management and leave with an
action log to focus the application of your course
knowledge in the workplace.
Reminder: Participants should have a thorough understanding of project management before taking this course.
