Successful project management depends not only
on using the appropriate planning, monitoring and evaluation
tools, it also involves getting things done through, with and
by people. This often presents a significant challenge even
to experienced project managers – particularly when they have
to manage a project team over whom they have no
line-management authority and whose members may include
outside contractors and suppliers and people with many other
demands on their time. They also have to manage effectively
their communication and relationships with project sponsors
and other stakeholders.
Our Project Management: the People Dimension course has been designed to allow
participants to focus on these critical aspects of project
management and to develop and refine their skills accordingly.

all, of their job role have responsibility for managing
