From project to portfolio management – how to successfully bridge the gap webinar

 

The webinar presented on Wednesday 22 January 2020, highlighted the differences between project, programme and portfolio management and provided the audience an insight and guide on how to successfully navigate them as a leader.

The first section focusses on the key characteristics of project management, programme management and portfolio management, drawing out the key differences which most delegates will be aware of, but may not have analysed in any detail.

The second section covers moving up the chain, looking at the key pitfalls that many people encounter, such as trying to do too much, not knowing how to delegate and focussing on the wrong level of detail.

The third section introduces techniques to assist the delegates – leveraging their existing skill sets, such as organisational skills, influencing and people management to move seamlessly between the various requirements.

Finally, the available tools and support in the market were reviewed.

This webinar is suitable for professionals with an intermediate to advance level of experience.
