Project Sponsorship is a two day workshop that offers participants the opportunity to create an environment that achieves greater project prosperity as a result of excellence in project sponsorship. The primary audience for this workshop is upper managers and executives. This workshop provides you with the knowledge, tools and practices to be an effective sponsor. Get clear understanding about your roles and responsibilities to ensure that all projects achieve successful outcomes. Another audience is project managers who work with sponsors on a regular basis and seek a better outcome from this interaction.

The ideal audience is project manager and sponsor attending the workshop together. Learn together and prepare joint action plans.
All projects need an executive sponsor. Upper management support for projects consistently surfaces as a critical success factor. However, organizations often do not spend the time and money to understand what sponsorship is, why doing it better is important, and how to improve. Please join us in this workshop to experience the possibilities for excellence in sponsorship within your organization.
