Develop understanding and skills in applying a complete system of creative and critical thinking, problem solving and decision making in real world organizational situations. Learn a disciplined process of thinking, emphasizing both divergence and convergence.
Setting goals is one thing—achieving them is quite another. Identify their goals and use a practical, effective Goals with SMARTS (Specific, Motivating, Action-oriented, Risk-managed, Time-lined and Supported) system which is designed to clearly define goals and the action steps required to achieve results.
As organizations, along with their products and services become more complex, there is a greater need for the discipline of Project Management. Based on the Project Management Institute’s (PMI’s) standards and guidelines, this course is an excellent introduction to the art and science of Project Management.
