Efficiently and Consistently Achieve your Project Objectives

Wed 7 & Thurs 8 October 2009

Effective managers recognise the value of well-developed project management skills. They understand that these skills assist them to execute decisions on time, on budget and in line with specific performance targets.

Today's managers are required to take on vast spheres of responsibility, demanding a comprehensive knowledge and skill base. Whatever your background or industry, if you are in a management role, then you need to be an effective project manager.

This applies irrespective of the size or budget of the project, or the context in which it's undertaken.

This timely and relevant two-day short course at the University of Adelaide will show you how.
