INTRODUCTION
Successful programmes deliver long-term strategic benefits by aligning multiple projects under a unified vision. They require teams from across and outside the organisation to collaborate toward shared objectives, ensuring that investments deliver sustainable value. At the core of this process is the Programme Manager, who acts as a vital link between senior executives setting strategy and project managers executing delivery.
This Programme Management Training Course equips participants with the tools, frameworks, and insights needed to deliver programmes effectively in line with organisational strategies. Delegates will learn how to establish a strategic roadmap, design governance structures, and integrate programme activities with corporate objectives. The course will also focus on identifying and realising benefits, navigating complexity, and making informed decisions in changing environments.
Unlike individual project management, programme management requires a broader perspective, balancing resources, risks, and outcomes across multiple initiatives. Through practical case studies and interactive discussions, participants will develop the competencies needed to manage programme components, strengthen stakeholder collaboration, and achieve measurable business value.
