Projects are mostly complex, multidisciplinary and often even divided into several smaller projects, organisations and nationalities. On top of that, there is usually pressure to accomplish results in a (very) short period of time. The customer, the project manager and the participants are expected to be decisive, able to lead a team and to contribute effectively to the team effort.
The management of these types of projects and processes requires professional project managers and leaders. As a project manager, you need to have a series of skills at your disposal: project management, knowledge of the organisation and its management, change management, commerce, self management and team management, planning and control, enlisting the people required, acquiring the means, etc.
In our training and education we strongly focus on the three main decisive aspects of successful project management: The personal skills of the project manager and project leader (the ‘ME’ component)Working with, within and among teams, customers and other parties involved with a project (the ‘WE’ component);The organisation, methods and systems of a project (the ‘IT’ component).
The combination of the ‘ME’, ‘WE’ and ‘IT’ components is a basic requirement for the framework and successful execution of projects. They are embodied in our TIPI (or Totally Integrated Project management) Approach®, a ‘best practices’ approach based upon and influenced by years of experience as well as the following standards: PMBOK™, PROMISE and PRINCE2™.
The table below can illustrate our structure of understanding project management:

General courses As a Project Manager or Project Leader you have to be skilful in many areas. You are facing many aspects of operational management within your organisation. That is why you need to command a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills to successfully set up and execute projects. We have developed several experience-oriented training courses in your field of profession, using various work forms to build knowledge and skills by teaching both theory and practice.
People and Projects Training leadership of project management. Leadership is mainly tailored for the experienced project leader.

You also will learn how to organise projects and to build up and motivate teams.
Working in a Project Environment It is specifically meant for team members and actively engaged users. The training deals with the concepts of working in project environments, the roles and attitudes of team members and users required to make projects successful.
Project Management for Project and Team Leaders Offers a complete overview of project management, and discusses the correlation of group dynamic processes and technical aspects, as well as leadership styles and working together in teams. Your own project may serve as a case study in this programme.
Politics around Projects It is specifically meant for experienced project leaders and managers. It discusses how to deal with external (political) influences on projects and ‘managing’ the environment.
Process Management Helps to influence processes in order to control projects. Process management works with steering instead of controlling, and with developing instead of designing.
