SEMINAR DESCRIPTIONThis seminar is aimed to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. We will explore organisational structures, roles and responsibilities, and methods of linking projects successfully to organizational goals. We will consider impediments that organisations face when implementing goals and how a sensible project management system can overcome these.

Objectives: upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Describe overall organization mission and strategy in a manner that allows aligned decision-making at lower organizational levels.

• Design a plan to effectively engage with key stakeholders in implementing strategy.

• Describe and assign executive, managerial, and associate level roles and responsibilities in a project management process.

• Apply a portfolio management system to identify, justify, select, prioritize, resource, and govern projects to implement organizational strategy.

• Categorize and evaluate sponsorship duties in organization.

• Demonstrate distinction in leading project manager direct reports vs. other direct reports.

• Create and lead a project office to standardize and improve project performance.

• Organize effective selection, onboarding, performance, development, reward and succession of project managers, sponsors, and team members.

• Incorporate input from customers, workers, other stakeholders, and work processes into an integrated project office.

• Ensure the proper oversight of the project management processes.
