The workshop was a great success! You very effectively gave an overview of the project management process and customized it to our internal processes. Everyone left with practical applications they could use immediately in their various role on project teams.  Leslie

Yet the margin for error has all but shrunk in most organizations.  We just cannot tolerate projects that don't deliver.

So, how do we successfully deliver more consistently, in the real world where there are no 5 Easy Steps to Successfully Delivering Projects?

The Institute's Real World Project Management workshop is a very practical and highly interactive way to get your organization on track to consistently delivering successful projects.

Thank you for the absolutely outstanding training sessions you gave us. The content was right on for fitting with the company. It was very obvious that you had done your homework and this was noticed by everyone. What you taught is indeed ‘real world’.
