An Intensive 5-day Training Course

Certificate in Strategic Project Management

Delivering Projects Successfully and Achieving Strategic Goals

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Strategic project management integrates the principles of project management with strategic business objectives to achieve long-term success. Unlike traditional project management, which focuses primarily on meeting project-specific goals like deadlines, budgets, and scope, strategic project management aligns each project with the broader goals and vision of the organization. This approach ensures that projects not only succeed in their own terms but also contribute to the company's competitive advantage and growth.

A key aspect of strategic project management is prioritizing projects that provide the highest value to the organization. Project managers in this approach work closely with executives to select, plan, and execute projects that align with business strategies, such as market expansion, cost reduction, or innovation. This alignment requires clear communication, extensive planning, and continuous adjustment to adapt to shifting business environments and organizational needs.

By embedding strategic priorities into project management practices, organizations can optimize resources, improve decision-making, and measure the impact of projects beyond immediate results. Ultimately, strategic project management enhances the organization’s ability to respond proactively to market trends and internal changes, making it a critical approach for businesses seeking sustainable growth and resilience in a competitive landscape.

  • Key Project Management skills needed to maximise project performance
  • Project Strategizing and Strategic Planning
