COURSE DESCRIPTION
In most project environments we see projects as beset with environmental uncertainty, interdependencies,
struggles to allocate resources strategically, and a complex organizational environment. Following from
this, traditional project management is not up to this challenge, and needs to be augmented by other
perspectives. By integrating the more strategic perspectives into traditional project management, something
more powerful and effective can emerge. Businesses need to manage complex projects by combining
business strategy and project management techniques in order to implement the business strategy and to
deliver organizational breakthroughs.
