Strategic Decision-Making for the Project Management Professional

Knowledge and Tools for Project Success

Decision-making plays a crucial role in every aspect of project management, and project managers are routinely required to make decisions in the face of both complexity and uncertainty; decisions on which the success or failure of a project can depend. Indeed, the consequences of poor project management decisions can be costly, far reaching and difficult to reverse.

In partnership with the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM), this course has been created to help you maximise the likelihood of project success by equipping you with knowledge, skills and tools that can help to ensure that decisions made at every stage of a project are the right ones; as well as respond creatively to the problems that inevitably arise during project execution.

Perfect for both individuals and teams, this course is designed to rapidly and cost-effectively equip you and/or your team with a practical, working knowledge of how to ensure that the right decisions are made during the course of a given project.

A Project Management Course with a Difference

This program is a product of our many years of experience training project managers in the science of strategic decision-making. In the course of delivering our acclaimed Strategic Decision-Making for the Professional to a wide variety of professionals, we observed that a large proportion of those who attended were project managers, and that this particular professional group found that the material helped them to make better decisions as a professional. As an adaptation of that program, this course is designed to equip you with a robust, evidence-based framework for making decisions strategically, as well as provide you with tools that can help you to apply the strategic decision-making skills that you’ve acquired in your role as a project manager.

This program can assist you with decision-making related to the uncertainty, stakeholder, team, planning and delivery project performance domains (PMBOK Guide 7th Edition).
