Workshop III:   Leading International Project Organizations
 

Skilled project managers with talented project teams will not succeed without the educated support of their senior leaders.  Program Managers and Senior Executives have three critical roles:  1) they must design or select projects that are appropriate for specific international settings;  2) they need to select and support project managers who can succeed internationally;  3) they must adapt their behaviors to the cultural requirements of their foreign colleagues.  Filling these roles effectively is a crucial leadership requirement for successful cross-cultural collaboration.

If you are a senior project or program manager, or if you lead a project-driven international organization, you will find that Leading International Project Organizations  covers the organizational culture and personal leadership skills you need for program and project success on an international scale.  It enables leaders to understand and adapt to the cultural differences that impact project management, to plan for the resource requirements that characterize international projects, and to develop the influencing and negotiating skills they need in order to exert influence and manage conflicts in international settings.  Taught by instructors with extensive business experience, this interactive workshop includes explanations, tools sets, and practice using case examples from different cultures and industries.
