Most of the times, understanding, designing and realizing your project strategy could be proved challenging, especially for those who have joined in the middle of implementation phase or who do not have project management experience before. How does my project come about? Why is it designed this way? Why certain activities need to be planned and conducted with partners? How do we ensure that our project is delivering? If you would like to have an insight into the rationale behind your project and a constructive prospect on how to continue, this course could be what you are looking for.

“Understanding Your Project Strategy and Result Models” is an online course designed to lay a solid foundation to support participants not only to understand their project context and rationale in-depth, but also to analyse their on-going project strategy using result-oriented concept and tools.

What's so special about the course?

(1) The course emphasizes the use of individual project as a case. Participants can choose to work on their own case or join others in exploring projects they are not familiar with, which is also a good way to learn from peer's experience. 

(2) The course offers individualized coaching through daily one-on-one or group consultation sessions with experienced trainers, who are master in their trade. - This is to ensure that your case and questions are attended to.      

(3) The course offers live Q & A, running in parallel throughout all in-class sessions to ensure participants understanding on the discussed concept and tools. The use of chatbox ensures that all questions are addressed and recorded.

The course does not only enhance your understanding “what” the project is about and “why” the project is being strategized the way it is, but also provide you an orientation “how” to proceed in the future implementation.
