    This is just the beginning...

    In this first module, you'll acquire the tools to establish a stellar reputation with your stakeholders and team within the first 2-4 weeks of project initiation, while gaining clarity on the strategies and diligence required to 'Lead with Impact'.

    Learning objectives

    • Develop skills in implementing a repeatable blueprint for a successful start, unlocking your potential for continuous achievements. By focusing on a solid start and nurturing your team's potential, you'll pave the way for an outstanding reputation and achieve remarkable results.
    • Dive into the critical role of a well-defined business case in ensuring project success, discover effective strategies to engage and build meaningful relationships with key stakeholders. 
    • Learn how to identify stakeholders' needs, expectations, and concerns to ensure their active involvement and support throughout the project. 
    • Gain insights into identifying and analysing the company culture. Explore how the organisation's culture can influence project dynamics, decision-making, and overall project outcomes.
    • Learn effective questioning techniques to ask thought-provoking questions and identify assumptions that uncover valuable information. Understand how to probe deeper, gaining a comprehensive understanding of complex subjects. Learn the techniques you'll need to shrink your 'What Is It I Don't Know' dot.
    • You will master the art of “How do I Get Out”. What are the conditions and criteria I must meet for me to close this project successfully and meet the expectations of my Stakeholders. This is a topic for project initiation, not project closure. By mastering these aspects, you'll equip yourself with the essential tools to lead successful projects and deliver exceptional results.
