"Companies are plagued by projects that constantly need fixing because they weren't managed the first time."

About This Event:

Conflicting priorities. Limited resources. Complex and multiple projects.

Add to this the probability that you have a range of responsibilities and that projects are just a part of your workload. Keeping on track in the face of these challenges can seem impossible, and managing your workload may be a major hurdle to the success of your projects.

Imagine if you had access to tools which could help you manage the priorities, resources and everything else. The good news is that there are strategies and techniques which help make your work life easier – strategies and techniques that can help you integrate your project responsibilities with your daily work.

Too often projects fail because people are uncertain of the end goal, priorities change, resources are re-allocated away from the project, specifications alter … the list goes on.

IIR, in partnership with FranklinCovey Middle East, is again offering you a practical four-day project management course – FranklinCovey Project Management™ – from 13 to 16 July 2008 in Dubai.

FranklinCovey Project Management™ is an innovative approach which can help you face your project management challenges. It is a structured, four-step process which will allow you to manage projects effectively. It will also allow you to balance multiple projects, together with your other tasks and commitments. By using some of Dr Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, you can become a highly effective project manager. For example, Begin With the End in Mind® and you will have a blueprint for the end product, that is, your project. Put

First Things First® and you will make sure that you have identified and can prioritise appropriately the most important things that have to happen for your project. Successful projects are driven by your mission, vision, values and strategies. With FranklinCovey Project Management™ you will discover techniques to help you define these and communicate them openly to win stakeholder support. You will learn how to implement projects well, meeting the stakeholder needs. And you will also learn the importance of closing the project and evaluating it effectively to ensure future improvements.

Avoid the plague of projects that constantly need fixing because they weren’t managed right the first time.
