Project Management
Business projects today involve large budgets, a multitude of resources and extreme
risks, therefore failure to manage them well can be costly to the company. Most project
management techniques focus on planning, budgeting and resources, to reduce the
possibility of failure. However, most projects fail due to human difficulties, rather than
technical problems, hence such techniques are seldom useful. The Project Management
simulation which focuses on the 'soft aspects' of project management, allows you to put
your employees to a project management test, without jeopardizing your real life
business projects.
How it Works
The Project Management simulation captures what happens during the
planning phase of a politically and environmentally sensitive project.
Participants assume the role of the project manager responsible for refining
the project plan to minimize the risks of implementation, taking into
account the views of numerous stakeholders. By simulating the key
components and variables of such a scenario, the interactive, open-ended
simulation allows users to practice and rehearse this relationship
management challenge. With this tailored tool that helps modify their
behavior & develop their skill sets, they will be better positioned to cope
with the rigorous demands of any project.
