    Project Management Review

    In this session, students will look at the Project Life Cycle and compare project plans for common elements.

    Executing the Plan

    Executing the plan is the heart of any project and it gets a close inspection here. Students will learn the types of tasks a Project Manager needs to complete. Also, they will look at how to keep on track, on task, and how to monitor a project.

    Communications Plan

    You can’t successfully follow through with a project without having a communications plan in place for all stakeholders. This lesson delves into such plans with a focus on Who, When, What, and How.

    Changes and Project Tracking

    There has hardly been a project that hasn’t dealt with changes during the course of its execution. With that in mind, this session shows students how change requests and change request tracking keep a project focused.

    Status Meetings and Issues Management

    Status meetings and issues management are tools to keep a project running smoothly and they are in the spotlight here. Students will learn how to develop an issues log and conduct a status meeting.

    Closing the Project

    When the project is completed, you just can’t walk away and hope for the best. Proper procedure includes closing the project with a project summary and a lessons learned document.

    Workshop Wrap-Up

    At the end of the course, students will have an opportunity to ask questions and fill out an action plan.

    Virtual Room

    Delivering traditional onsite training results …virtually!

    We’ve officially changed the rules and redefined what is possible in the world of soft skills learning. Our unique technology, accompanied by honed delivery methodology, have successfully replicated the traditional classroom-style training environment, allowing it to exist online.

    Most online training solutions limit participants’ responses to keystrokes or to single person conversations because -with inferior technology- group discussions become distorted and confusing to follow.  Our Virtual Room has eliminated those barriers and encourages learning through meaningful instructor feedback, skills modelling and engaging group discussion, without visual or audio distortion

    The Virtual Room is for any organization seeking a flexible substitute to traditional onsite training; whether to lower costs, eliminate unnecessary travel or to simply ease the burden of demanding work schedules.

    Lunch & Learn
    lunch and learn

    Lunch & Learn

    A Lunch and Learn session is an onsite or virtual learning program with a facilitator-led session sharing valuable information and skills on an area of identified learning interest.  It’s a great break away from a traditional training program, allowing your team the opportunity to learn while enjoying their lunch. Due to the limited time, the program focuses on specific learning concepts and skills.   It is an interactive session that quickly targets and reveals learning objectives that are predetermined by the training organizer.   Lunch & Learn sessions are also great as a training series, providing progressive learning programs for developing skills in a ‘bite-sized’ format.

    Bullying in the Workplace

    $199.00 USD
    Bullying is called the silent epidemic. Although half of workers have experienced or witnessed bullying, policies and laws dealing with it are far less prevalent. This is, in part, because bullying can be hard to identify and address. People wonder, what does bullying look like? How can we discourage it in our workplace? What can I do to protect my staff and co-workers?

    Facilitation Skills

    $279.00 USD
    It is impossible to be part of an organization today and not attend meetings. Staff meetings, project meetings, and planning and coordinating meetings all take time. There has been a growing realization that we have to pay attention to the process elements of meetings if we want them to be effective. With its focus on asking rather than telling, and listening to build consensus, facilitation is the new leadership ideal, the core competency everybody needs. Managers and supervisors are often asked to facilitate rather than instruct or manage their meetings and training sessions. How can you facilitate, rather than control, group decision-making and team interaction? With no formal training, people may find it difficult to make the transition from instructors or managers to facilitators.
