Course Description:

'' “That was great�now if we could only get our Senior Managers to also take this course� We hear this from participants, in one form or another, after just about every delivery of our fundamental Project Management Essentials course.

To get the full value of project management tools and methodologies, most organizations have to undergo a culture shift regarding how they deal with issues such as project prioritization, risk, contingency, communication, and stakeholder involvement. Culture shifts within an organization are most successful when driven from the top �and that means from senior management, the sponsors of corporate projects.

We don’t expect project managers to understand everything there is to know about project management just because we give them the title of project manager �so why do we expect senior managers to automatically understand what is involved in sponsoring projects?

In 1999, at the direct request of one of our clients, WCP developed a course designed specifically for senior managers and their role as project sponsors. We believe this to be the first project management course of its kind in Canada. Through guided discussions and group exercises, senior management learn how to promote a culture of project management excellence in their organization. They also learn specific activities they should be doing as sponsors of a project, specific things they should look for in projects they are sponsoring, and specific questions they should be asking of project managers and teams throughout the project lifecycle.

Perhaps the value of this course was summed up best by a VP of a large company who, during the final wrap-up of the Project Sponsorship session, made the following statement: “I now understand that a project I recently sponsored was not nearly as successful as it could have been �partly due to my not having understood my role as sponsor� Project success is a team effort, and when the project sponsorship role is better understood, the whole team benefits.
