Integrated Total Project Management Planning, Organizing, & Control

Introduction:

Project management is a core skill in all project disciplines. In today's competitive, variable, and changing environment, successfully delivering projects requires a collaborative, whole-team approach. While Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), LEAN Construction, and other delivery methods have merits, they have yet to prove to be the alternative project delivery method the industry had hoped they would be. An alternate scalable, adaptable, and collaborative approach is needed for everyday projects.

This integrated total project management planning, organizing, and control program will address the need for holistic, effective, and efficient project management and leadership to manage resources, the consultant team, and contractors effectively through a transparent and accountable process to complete projects within budget and on schedule. Our distinguished instructors will facilitate an interactive, in-person learning approach and explore these issues through lectures and case studies of real projects.

This integrated total project management planning, organizing, and control course covers all facets of total project management, incorporating principles and practices that align with an integrated approach. The course, designed for a wide array of professionals, offers insights into the total project management system and a deep dive into the TPM total project management methodology.
