In this FREE evening seminar we look at how large and complex programmes are an integral part of achieving an organisation’s key strategic objectives. More than a collection of projects, or one “big” project, programmes are strategic assets required to keep organisations prosperous, relevant, and the beneficiary of continued investment by shareholders and customers. The record shows that dealing with complexity is difficult and many organisations, and programme managers, don’t do it very well.

In this informative presentation J. LeRoy Ward will describe the Levin-Ward competency model that you can apply immediately to help explore and reduce the complexity that is associated with your programmes. He will describe six key performance and eight personal competencies programme managers require for success. LeRoy will also discuss a five-step action plan for implementing the model based on numerous assessments conducted by ESI for organisations both large and small.

The need for competent programme managers has never been greater, and many organisations are now refining their career paths in project management to emphasize programme management as the next higher level. By using the Levin-Ward model, you can identify your areas of strength and opportunities for improvement to more effectively manage programmes.
