Presentation of the program

The aim of this short program is to lay the foundations of project management, focusing on the human dimension on three interrelated levels.

The first level concerns the leader himself/herself. How can we identify and question the leader's state of mind and leadership style in project management? The second level refers to the project team. We need to understand the mechanisms of collaboration in order to put them into practice and ensure the alignment of team members. Finally, we look at the human element, focusing on the project's stakeholders. Their commitment is a key element, and here we will identify the levers for creating an inspiring, shared vision.

As a result, this short program is also structured as a reflective approach to one's own leadership style, through a personalized assessment. Theoretical content is complemented by numerous examples and exercises for practical application and individual reflection. In this way, we'll help you to question and evolve, enabling you to position yourself as a project leader.
