- Strategic Project Direction: More Control for Less Effort
Project executives and members of project boards play a key role in projects. For them, directing a project is an additional task, on top of busy operational responsibilities. In this one- day training course / workshop Strategic Project Direction they learn how to give optimum strategic direction to a project with the minimum of effort. The course covers the five principles of strategic project direction and how to use them to enforce leadership, support, effectiveness and efficiency in project direction, related to cases from within their own organization. For more information see the article More Strategic Project Control for Less Effort (Project Manager Today 2007).

The ideal basis for successful cooperation among project board members and with the project manager.
- Project Success for the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility for the success of projects within an organisation. Project direction is assigned to project executives, day-to-day management to project managers and independent auditing to internal accountants, auditors or the QA-department. But how important is the success of projects to achieving corporate objectives? What requirements must the organisation meet in order to facilitate project success? What does this mean for the way in which managers are led? How can the Board of Directors contribute to this in the best way?
- Transparent Project Management, workshop for experienced project managers with knowledge of PRINCE2®
Organisations that have rolled out PRINCE2 do not always yield the expected benefits. A multitude of documents does not necessarily mean the controllability of projects for the project executive has been improved. This one-day workshop is suitable for experienced project managers with PRINCE2 knowledge at the Foundation or Practitioner level. Participants learn what demands project executives make from a project governance perspective and how they can make their project more transparent for the project executive and his project board. Transparency means: clear results, easy to monitor and easy to control. The content of the workshop corresponds to the workshop More Control for Less Effort for project executives and project board members.
