COURSE OVERVIEW
Stakeholders/clients understand the why behind a project. The why defines the purpose. Engaging, influencing and keeping buy-in from key stakeholders are the most important activities a program or project manager needs to undertake. Programs, project deliverables, budgets and growth can quickly be undermined if there is poor stakeholder engagement and minimal buy-in. Yet there is very little information available to address their critical skill sets. The MSE workshop is specifically designed to help Program and Project Managers understand the roles, skills and activities to allow them to better drive client success.
