Turnaround Management (MAN42)

    Description

    According to the Standish Group, in 2016 one third of all projects were in trouble and another third was considered as failed. The primary reason for this is the growing complexity of projects, which must be processed in an environment of increasingly chaotic markets. Most projects experience a great deal of process changes. ERP projects - for example - can change entire organisations and are therefore almost predestined to mutate into crisis projects.
    This course deals with a proven model, that includes the analysis of the current status ("as - is") of projects and then leads over to possibilities to stabilise such projects.
    This course also covers classical success and failure factors of projects and guides participants to avoid such problems.
