Sparking innovation by broadening horizons / Business Execution Essential Series Courses

Dr Locke says, “I think it’s really important for people who want to be effective leaders to have that ‘big picture’ view, otherwise you just end up in this narrow perspective within your own organisation and you can’t see beyond it. That’s not an effective business strategy in the long run, and organisations should think strategically about this.”

The opportunity to learn from peers as well as from instructors is another key benefit of executive education. Student cohorts at this level are typically extremely diverse in terms of nationality, job function and industry – not to mention cultural and educational background. This creates an optimum environment for executives to be exposed to a wealth of varying, often contrasting, perspectives, and provides the opportunity to learn from the experiences of those around them. Broadening leaders’ perspectives in this way is essential to igniting new ideas and driving innovation. – Liz Griffith, senior marketing and communications officer at LSE, in conversation with Dr Connson Locke & Prof Saul Estrin for ChangeBoard.com [end]

No matter how seasoned an executive is, the ever-changing business world requires even the most experienced leaders to adapt by learning both new skills and new ways of thinking. PMO Advisory has developed half-day live virtual and 1-day face-to-face training courses that are highly effective options when seeking to enhance the skills of an employee while making the most effective use of time and securing the best value from a training budget. One of the benefits of these short courses is that the expenditure is kept to a minimum as travel and accommodation are reduced. Secondly, the time actually implementing the learning is amplified as the number of hours invested in learning is narrowed to what is essential and required.

PMO Advisory’s Business Execution Essential Series covers 7 specific topics, each a half-day live virtual and a 1-day accelerated training program on: (1) Strategic Business Execution (SBE), (2) Portfolio Management, (3) Program Management, (4) Project Management, (5) Project Management Office (PMO), (6) Risk Management, and (7) Organization Change Management.  Click Here to learn about our Project Management Career : Business Execution Essentials Courses
