Seminars Subject Areas

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. To help ensure your abilities to manage your project to successful completion, SeminarsWorld delivers training in the project management areas of “Strategic Applications”, “People and Leadership Skills”, “Tools and Techniques” and “Core Competencies”.

Strategic Applications:  Projects fulfill business needs and/or visions for the future of industry. Evolving business strategies and shifting demands due to the marketplace and innovative thinking lead the way to strategic applications for solution development. Risk management, building the next generation PMO and successful project execution are examples of strategic applications that SeminarsWorld training delivers.

People and Leadership Skills: Effective project management requires that the project manager and the project management team fully understand the interrelationships of project management; including specific knowledge areas as well as general management and interpersonal skills.  Project managers need to understand how to effectively motivate, lead and influence team members to high performance results leading to successful project outcomes.

Tools and Techniques: The discipline of project management is about providing the tools and techniques that enable the project manager and the project team to organize their work to meet and overcome the “triple constraints” – scope, time and cost. While the PMBOK^® Guide outlines the processes that should be followed, there are a myriad of tools and techniques that have been proven effective over time. SeminarsWorld identifies the best in class and delivers training that will give attendees what they need to implement such tools and techniques on the job.

Core Competencies: To be successful in completing a project, managing a project team, or implementing a Project Management Office requires certain basic skills or competencies. These core competencies fall into three main skill areas:

• General management skills such as negotiating deadlines, interviewing team members, or managing team dynamics
• Project management skills and the nine knowledge areas as detailed in the PMBOK^® Guide
• Unique technical skills required by the nature of the project itself, such as IT basics or engineering fundamentals
