The paper aims to present a general overview of modern project management and the issues associated with identifying a rapid, effective and cost efficient solution to developing effective project managers. The piece discusses the advantages of taking a blended training approach as a method to support both knowledge delivery and skills attainment.
The viewpoint is based on experience of working with over 4,000 clients – spanning industry sectors – in 16 countries across the globe.
Practical experience is at a premium because of the complex nature of project management. Every project is made up of components – people, process and technology – which are all inter‐related and continually interacting with each other. Being able to control the complexity of this interaction, while navigating the project towards a successful outcome is the bedrock of successful project management. One of the most successful approaches to create effective project managers is blended learning.
The paper will be valuable to individuals responsible for staff learning and development; and to project management teams.
