PPS Programme management

Manage projects, changes and realise the expected benefits

Are you facing major strategic and complex organisational changes?
Does the change require new behaviours and capabilities within the organisation?
Do you need to coordinate multiple projects and activities within the core organisation?

Program management is about coordinating projects and change initiatives to achieve the desired outcome, and you will gain knowledge about how this work can be appropriately organised.
