Track III: Leading International Project Organizations
Skilled project managers with talented teams will not succeed without the leaders' support. Program managers and senior executives have three critical roles:
- They must design or select projects that are appropriate for specific international settings.
- They must select and support project managers who can succeed internationally.
- They must adapt their behaviors to the cultural requirements of their foreign colleagues.
Filling these roles effectively is a crucial leadership requirement for successful cross-cultural collaboration.
If you are a senior project or program manager, or if you lead a project-driven international organization, you will find that Track III of the Managing Projects Across Borders™ covers the organizational skills you need for program and project success on an international scale. It enables leaders to understand and adapt to the cultural differences that impact project management, to plan for the resources needed and to develop the influencing and negotiating skills they need in order to exert influence and manage conflicts in international settings.
Taught by instructors with extensive business experience, these interactive workshops include explanations, tools sets, and practice using case examples from different cultures and industries.
