  Strategic and Analytical Skills
to Overcome Shifting Organizational Priorities

The rate of change in organizations has greatly accelerated, requiring managers to respond quickly to shifting priorities. Project managers need analytical and decision-making skills to assess and prioritize which projects in their portfolio directly link to current strategic business goals. Otherwise, mission-critical projects may stall, be delayed, lose allocated dollars or resources, or be cancelled altogether.

A methodical approach to analyzing business initiatives is key to organizational planning and decision making. A critical ingredient in the evolving role of today's project manager is a solid understanding of the principles, methods, tools and best practices for evaluating proposed projects for the enterprise.

The ability to make high-impact, well-considered decisions under less-than-ideal conditions, as well as strong leadership, communication and problem-solving skills, are critical for sustaining competitive advantage.

The following courses will help you develop the critical strategic and analytical abilities needed for achieving project success.
