What is the purpose of the program?
Much of the most important work in your organization gets done via projects. Personal and organizational success therefore rests, in large measure, on project success.
The problem is, projects don’t always succeed. Even superbly qualified project teams may find themselves shackled by scope creep, resource depletion, lack of teamwork, or unexpected shifts in project specs.
Strong project leaders steer their project teams clear of such obstacles. They skillfully interact with team members, as well as key stakeholders, to drive projects to their intended destinations, on time and within budget.

- Ensure their projects enjoy solid support from key stakeholders.
- Build a strong project team.
