Course Overview

Sponsorship is crucial to project success, particularly for large or risky projects. Without sponsorship, or with ineffective sponsorship, even small projects flounder. Invested, supportive sponsors are able to effectively foster more confident project managers, higher-performing projects, and better business outcomes. In this interactive workshop, students will learn and practice techniques for becoming engaged project sponsors who can lead their teams and organizations to success.

Private classes on this topic are available. We can address your organization’s issues, time constraints, and save you money, too. Contact us to find out how.
