Format
This is an intensive workshop providing realistic and practical skills consolidation.
The format of the event is highly interactive and designed to present the information in memorable, manageable segments. Through the use of exercises and facilitated group discussion, delegates will be given full opportunity to test their understanding of the theory and the practical challenges they are likely to face as they put the theory into practice.
Like the OGC Prince2 Project Management standard, MSP is designed to be implemented in a tailored fashion. Any organisation or individual seeing the need for a controlled approach to managing its programmes will benefit from an understanding of the MSP methodology.
Delegates will be provided with comprehensive supporting material, providing an invaluable reference source when returning to their working environment.
