| Results-driven: We work constantly to understand what specific, measurable outcomes the organisation (or business unit) wishes to achieve by the training, and to ensure that we adapt the content and training methods to best assist in bringing about these changes in the workplace. The success of a course is thus measured in terms of its medium- and long-term effect on the team's competence and the organisation's effectiveness, and not merely on how well the trainer was rated on the participants' course feedback forms.
Customised to requirements: The course content is adapted to suit your team rather than a generic student profile. Real projects to be undertaken by the team are used in most exercises to make the training relevant and practical, and otften also kick-starts these projects in a facilitated environment. (See the section on Determining your requirement below.)
Adapted to constraints: The course can be designed to meet budgetary constraints, and the duration can be fitted to the availability of the group's participants. We will, however, advise you on what works best to ensure specific outcomes.
Not limited to only one approach: Although a course may reference standards such as the PMI's PMBoK, the APMG's PRINCE2 methodology, Agile and Scrum techniques or GAPPS and SAQA unit standards, the focus is not on any single approach, but on the meeting organisation's practical Project Management requirements. Where relevant to these requirements, however, ProjectManagement.co.za can provide standards-based certification courses in-house.
Organisational transformation: Depending on the audience and the requirement, and also on the degree of support and participation of senior management, the type of learning facilitation provided by ProjectManagement.co.za's specialist lecturers can allow participants to develop insights and to take decisions which would not have emerged during the normal course of business. Participants are provided with a platform for formulating positive, proactive change strategies based on sound Project Management principles. Every organisation has unique challenges and competitive strengths. With these in mind, organisation-specific recommendations can be added into the Training Report to assist top management in the implementation of Project Management. | Summary of benefits

At a customised 1-week course in Information Technology Project Management (held twice for this software firm) participants from all over South Africa were given ample opportunity for social networking. Having toiled in isolation for years in different branches (all previously independent companies), the formation of "geek" relationships was of no lesser benefit than the new unified approach to managing projects brought about by the transformational Project Management training. |
