Leading Complex Projects

Managing a complex project means not only having fantastic project management skills, but also understanding how to deal with the chaos of today's workplace.

This class will help you master dealing with these complexities and lead with success. Learn to determine the level of complexity of your project, develop tactics to manage that complexity, and discover strategies for taking your project team "to the edge of chaos" where innovation and creativity happen. Avoid being caught off guard by change, and prepare yourself with ways to optimize your team's performance and manage the unknown.
