In project management, the challenges of the international environment are often paid too little attention. It's mostly cultural differences and the costs in time, nerves and money that can derail entire projects.
For sustainable business success, it's therefore especially important to prepare responsible managers and executives for their roles as efficient and effective international project leaders and associates.
The goal of this training is to convey to the stakeholders the particularities of foreign cultures and their influences on project work. Your participants will thus gain tangible competencies that can be practically implemented in virtual or on-site international projects.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD YOU KNOW?
In our training on international project management, we'll naturally integrate specific questions and experiences from the everyday lives of the participants, and we'll develop practical problem-solving approaches together.
Your employees should ideally contribute their own examples from current or past projects in the individual training phases.
It's also possible to discuss and use as a reference a specific project for the purposes of the training. Alternatively, we'll prepare - upon your consultation - a case study that corresponds to the requirements and branch specifics of the seminar group.
