While standardized methodologies and frameworks lay the groundwork, the true essence of project management lies in navigating the unpredictable. It's this ability to adeptly handle uncertainty that distinguishes success from projects that merely tick the boxes.

The challenge of project management is even greater when it is part of a transformation program. In this case, additional stakeholders and sibling projects multiply the complexity in communication and decision-making. A small detail for Project A can have a big impact on Project B.

You might believe that a conventional course or a textbook could suffice for such knowledge. Yet, the reality of managing complex projects in dynamic sectors like finance, industry, logistics, pharma, and the public sector often surpasses what academia offers. This is where our series of workshops transcends the norm.

Our workshops are crafted for leaders who are ready to explore beyond Project Management 101, covering critical, real-world topics such as:

• disentangling the intricacies of implementing agility (with a small “a”) in complex, multi-layered corporate structures;
• uncovering the depths of pivotal Project Management roles beyond the textbook definitions;
• implementing reflective practices to drive continuous improvement and strategic foresight.

…and many more topics that textbooks don't cover, but every seasoned manager encounters.

The advent of ChatGPT could breathe life into the practical use of AI and company data for the first time. Use cases may include

• Automated real-time decisions
• Significant reduction of process costs and throughput times
• Fact-based strategic management of the portfolio
• Increasing the quality of end customer service

An API is a mechanism that allows one IT system to interact with the capabilities and data provided by another system in order to deliver value on top of these capabilities. APIs are essential to provide the necessary abstractions which make it possible to master the complexity of large, volatile IT landscapes.

API governance is the discipline which ensures that APIs are compliant with desired standards and regulatory requirements, and that they are aligned with strategic goals.

In an increasingly agile environment one of the main challenges is to keep the balance between team-autonomy and an overall compliance. We must ensure flexibility and team responsibility on one hand, and compliance, interoperability and the strategic coherence on the other, without creating impediments by administrative overhead and organisational bottlenecks.
