How to make your projects and programmes successful

Date of Event Thursday 7 June 2012
Duration 09.45 - 16.30 (Registration 09.30)
Venue Oxford
Details

Purists might tell you that projects deliver outputs and programmes deliver outcomes… For most organisations however, both are fundamentally about delivering business benefit and the real challenge is ensuring those benefits are realised and sustainable.

Most often the measure of success is translated as improvements to bottom-line performance, but the interpretation, communication and realisation of benefits is far from one-dimensional.

History also tells us the 70% of projects fail, so why don’t we learn from our mistakes?

Course content:

Participants with have the opportunity to:

  • Understand why so many projects and programmes fail 
  • Consider the why the mantra of ‘necessary and sufficient’ should guide every project/programme manager 
  • Explore the critical relationships & accountabilities to realise benefits 
  • Understand the relationships between benefits & behaviours

Learning outcomes:

This seminar will help leaders learn how good project and programme management really can deliver successful and sustainable benefits.

Benefits:

Business projects and programmes are undertaken to deliver benefits, however, they are frequently criticised for failing to achieve their objectives. This workshop shows delegates how to ensure programme and project success to realise benefits.

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone involved in delivering projects or programmes who need to understand why 70% of projects fail, so that they can avoid the pitfalls for themselves.
