• Increased efficiency: By teaching a cross-method glossary, training participants will be able to plan, implement and finalise projects more efficiently, regardless of the project management method used. This leads to time and cost savings for your organisation.
• Improved project performance: Employees with a broad understanding of different project management approaches are better able to cope with the demands and challenges of different projects. This can lead to improved project performance and a higher success rate.
• Flexibility and adaptability: A cross-method glossary enables your employees to navigate flexibly between different project management approaches and adapt them to the specific requirements of a project. This promotes the adaptability of teams and enables your organisation to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
• Promote individual development: PMA serves as a compass for the individual, professional and personal development of our participants. Your employees can continuously improve their knowledge and skills in project management, which can lead to greater employee satisfaction and loyalty in the long term.
• Better collaboration and communication: A common knowledge base about different project management concepts facilitates collaboration and communication within teams as well as with other departments or external partners. This helps to avoid misunderstandings and increase the effectiveness of collaboration.
• Competitive advantage: Companies whose employees have in-depth knowledge of various project management methods have a competitive advantage. They are better positioned to successfully carry out complex projects and hold their own in a dynamic market environment.
• Risk minimisation: A comprehensive understanding of different project management approaches enables you to identify potential risks at an early stage and take appropriate measures to minimise them. This helps to avoid project delays and errors associated with inadequate project management.
