DESCRIPTION:
Project Management in Human Resources
\n\nNaturally\
, getting a project to deliver on time\, within budget\, and in line with
quality standards requires savvy management. And\, the bigger the project\
, the more challenging good management becomes. As a professional\, you&rs
quo\;re expected to transform a vague concept into a measurable outcome by
channeling a broad array of knowledge\, skills\, and resources toward a c
ritical organizational goal.
\n\nThis three-day workshop is a practi
cal and comprehensive introduction to the many facets of project managemen
t specifically designed for the human resource professional. As a particip
ant\, you will be introduced to the fundamental principles behind the nuts
and bolts of planning\, scheduling\, and budgeting. You&rsquo\;ll strengt
hen your skills and understand how to generate valuable benefits for your
organization by achieving crucial results that align with organizational o
bjectives. You'\;ll discover the communication skills it takes to get i
deas\, instructions\, and requests across quickly and accurately thereby m
inimizing development time. You will learn how to effectively use your res
ources to stay on top of deadlines and expenses\, ways to rebound quickly
from surprises and setbacks\, and how to get the best from people who don&
#39\;t normally report to you. Everyone who attends this workshop will com
e away in a strong position to lead any project with confidence and discip
line &mdash\; from conception to completion.
\n\nLevel - This is a f

\nDOWNLOAD BROCHURE\n\nTopic Background:
\n\
nThanks to rapid change and the pressures of intense competition\, more
and more work has become project work. Changes in technology and in custo
mer preferences have made work less routine and less repeatable &ndash\; p
resenting new challenges for departments geared tactically for daily routi
nes while at the same time\, competitive pressures have forced work be don
e more quickly and with fewer resources.
\n\nAs a Human Resources pr
ofessional\, you wear many hats within your organization. From policy and
strategic thought to careful administration of the many programs implement
ed\, one thing is for certain\, you do wear these many hats because your p
rimary mandate is to always focus on the big-picture. To be successful\, y
ou need to allocate the precious resource of time to effectively negotiate
for the allocation of people\, processes and technology with few changes
and near perfect management. You already know what it means to be a smart
risk taker who can &ldquo\;turn-on-a-dime&rdquo\; with meaningful decision
s communicated into action. But do you know how to leverage risk so that i
t can be translated into meaningful\, value added action your organization
can rely on to move forward?
