How do you start and finish projects in a world where there is shortage of time and of resources but where problems are abundant?
The Fundamentals of Project Management is a workshop training course that:
Take part in a 2-day workshop training. You will learn design thinking and project management.
During the project management training courses we have organised over the years, we have collected participants’ opinions on their needs. It turned out that most often, they simply wanted to learn the best practices of project management quickly and effectively without unnecessary bureaucracy. Very often, participants also reported that they already had had some knowledge of project management, but they were unable to “put it together” on their own. The training was designed to meet these two needs, which are most frequently expressed by the training participants.
The project management training programme incorporates best practices from recognised standards and methodologies (PMBOK®, Prince 2, SCRUM), ready to be applied immediately.
The Fundamentals of Project Management training course has been designed in such a manner that it can be best adapted to the participants’ needs. Depending on their responsibilities, knowledge, and professional experience, we modify the scope and difficulty of the case study implemented during the training. The training works very well for:
Functional heads/ managers and who manage projects or supervise project managers
Project managers who are starting in this position or are about to take on such a responsibility
Managing staff who oversee the implementation of projects in the organisation

Time to the end of enrolment:
You will learn how to properly plan It is very important to learn how to properly plan all stages of a project, since there is no good action without a good plan. Therefore we teach a solid foundation from which to start any project.
You will learn how to work on several projects simultaneously
Working on several projects simultaneously is a nightmare for many employees. We try to accustom project management to this idea to such an extent that working on several projects simultaneously is no longer a nightmare, but an interesting challenge.
You will adapt project management tools to your specific work situation
Employees of different companies have different work characteristics. We understand this and know how important it is to match tools to specific needs and work styles. We know that what works for some will be completely useless for others.
You will learn project monitoring and control techniques
We teach not only how to plan and manage a project, but also how to monitor it effectively. Without monitoring, you don’t know what is really done and what is not.
Do you run a business?
As a boss, you too often oversee the details, get involved in small decisions and your people are not independent enough. You need to tie everything together. Based on tried and tested methods, you commission “issues” for implementation, but they don’t get implemented because too often your people can’t translate your idea into concrete actions. You need to step up a level, get away from operational work and delegate most issues to the ones you trust. You don’t feel confident and safe handing over new, big projects to people on your team because you’ve always “kept on your toes”.
Do you manage a team?
You are involved in the implementation of “big issues” in which you need to involve other departments in the company, and you know it won’t be easy. There are ambitious items on your list of goals for the year that cannot be achieved “just by performing tasks”. You and your team are carrying out a lot of varied projects commissioned from above, and you want to keep them organised and under control. Your team is not aware that they are working on a project basis, and as a result you are unable to fulfil your plans.
Are you in charge of a project?
You do not have a formal project management role, the team assigned to the project are not your subordinates and you find it difficult to build authority. You don’t feel confident leading projects, you have become a PM without any training. No one has prepared you for this role, and you like to act in a conscious, concrete, and professional manner. You work on projects “on the fly” and that might have worked out for you for some time, but you get to the point where it’s not enough. You want to overcome the fear of doing something wrong because you’ve got a big new project on your hands that you’ll be responsible for. You want to structure your knowledge with proven project management methods and develop your competencies.
Do you want to develop?
You need practical knowledge and skills to help you progress on your managerial path. You like to work in an organised, structured way and towards a specific goal. You want to partner with others in the organisation to build your position in the team. You don’t like it when a client doesn’t take you seriously and you lack arguments in a discussion because you don’t feel confident about projects.
You will structure your work consciously – and something that has been natural to you because you’ve been working this way all your life will take another shape so that you can delegate more to your team
You will be able to align departments around a common goal – you will be able to align the different departments in your company around common ventures, so that there are no situations where “everyone is pulling in their own direction”.
You will become the “sponsor” of the project – you will be able to change your role from being the boss that is indispensable in difficult situations to the “sponsor” of the project, who sets the direction and key criteria and supervises everything at a high level instead of making the tiniest decisions
You set the right priorities – you set a framework (although we prefer to use the term skeleton) in people’s thinking so that when preparing a solution for you, they take into account the things that are most important to you (time, budget, risk) without you having to point the finger at the important topics
You will build a sense of responsibility within the team – you will start to build a sense of responsibility within your team for a greater scope of work, and through this you will finally find time for important topics for which there was no space before, i.e. strategy, innovation, working with clients etc.
