Why Choose this Training Course?

As today’s projects become increasingly complex, innovative and technologically demanding, the project managers and team members face daunting challenges. Project decision and strategy making allows the determination of the basic long-term goals and objectives of an enterprise. It is increasingly important that the correct project selection is made, that the benefits be clearly set out and understood at the outset and that the project is planned appropriately to support good execution and delivery.

Decision-making in any project is important, yet typical approaches can often seem distant or unapproachable for many. In this Profogas Decision-Making in Projects course, delegates are introduced to the concept of making ethical and applicable decisions. Considering a basic project framework and case-study, we will reflect on likely choices for each scenario.

Specific attention will be paid to highlighting how small decisions can lead to significant compromises in the future. Delegates will reflect on their likely responses and the framework/s that they use for decision making.

 “Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.”

-- Henry Ford
