With projects becoming more complex, technology allowing for more real-time feedback & teams becoming more distributed or virtual in their work, project leaders & team members require more than the latest technology, charts & critical path analysis to navigate & lead their teams to successful project completion.

LPS will move your team from talking about issues to experiencing first-hand how best practice in project leadership impacts project outcomes.

Managing time, organisation priorities, team politics and stakeholder requirements are key project challenges in this phase and are the focus of this simulet. At the close of this simulet, participating will be able to:
