The Project Management Ecosystem is Changing by the Day – Are you Ready?

The role of the project manager is not a stable thing.  What used to be normal and acceptable yesterday is not enough today.  The landscape ahead of us used to be clear, but things seem to be a little foggy these days.  Our career paths, the tools we use, the knowledge and experience we need and even the expectations of all of us as project managers – nothing is the same today and it won’t be like it is tomorrow.    

Are you ready?

When:   November 7, 8:30am - 4:30pm

Where:  Royal Artillery Park Officers Mess, 1575 Queen Street

Members: $135
Non-Members: $160

Today’s organizations are looking for tomorrow’s leadership team.  As a good project manager, the next step in your career could very well take you to this next level: senior leadership.  

But how do you get there?  What will it take to get your career to this next level?   How can you move from a management position to one of a leader: a senior leader within your industry or elsewhere?

This interactive session will put aside the skills and knowledge you need to have to be a good project manager and focus on what you need to be a great leader. 

Over the course of the day we will explore the gaps between our skills, knowledge and professional attributes and those of famous and local leaders.   In the process we will be develop our new professional strategic plan. Topics, discussions and exercises will include: strategic planning, Key leadership attributes, leadership styles, how leaders think and work, understanding the business, communicating like a leader, messaging like a leader and more.
