How to get that 2 + 2 = 5? This is the essence of program management. How to manage a group of projects to achieve greater impact and control? We will work with participants to understand the challenges they face and provide advice, tools and guidance. In addition, we will help them fulfill their role more effectively, be it locally, regionally or internationally.
We will also make sure that the participants are prepared to obtain the certification of Program DPro.
