About
This certificate (CAS) aims to help project managers move to the next level of project management, not by mastering more technical and methodological skills, but by acquiring the key competencies and mindset needed to become a project leader.
Indeed, the times we live in today show that methodological project management skills remain essential, but are no longer sufficient for successful project completion. If agility, adaptation, resilience and diversity were important in the past, they are now essential and vital. Project managers now need to know how to guide diverse teams towards a goal that makes sense to them in an agile and resilient way, while adapting to the organization's strategy. We offer a holistic, cross-functional vision of project management, emphasizing the human and relational dimension.
The role of project manager is above all a sum of skills rather than a title. It's a set of skills, a sum of actions and a state of mind. As a project player, we'll help you guide your teams in an inclusive, agile and resilient way, in line with organizational strategies.
This CAS therefore does not go back over the basic fundamental and methodological principles of project management (traditional or agile), but takes an in-depth look at the key skills needed to increase personal contribution as a project leader and thus improve the chances of success.

Human project management
Project management is based on two dimensions: technical and human skills. This short program lays the foundations of project leadership by focusing on the human aspects: the leader and his/her leadership style, the project team that guides collaboration and ensures alignment, and the stakeholders.
Inclusive leadership
Diversity affects every project team. This short program is designed to help you understand diversity - what differences exist between project participants, and what is at stake in these differences? - and develop inclusive habits of collaboration and interaction to best manage this diversity.
Design thinking
Learn how to integrate design thinking into your projects to transform collaboration and stimulate innovation. Master concrete tools to put the user at the heart of decision-making and create collaborative dynamics adapted to the challenges of complex projects.
