Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Awareness Workshop

Overview

Course duration: 1 day.

MSP is an internationally recognised best practice programme management method that can be tailored to suit any type of working culture and any size or type of programme. MSP provides a structured framework for defining and managing complex change, particularly where there is a vision of an end state but the path to the solution is not yet clear.

If you do not need to know all the detail of MSP but would benefit from an informed awareness of the methodology and the benefits it can bring to your organisation, then this workshop is for you.

Case studies and practical exercises are used to explain the key points and quick wins of MSP and ensure a good understanding of how MSP can be used to support the effective management of complex change in an organisation.

This course is provided in partnership with Core IS who are a brand leading APMG accredited training organisation.
