Formation en gestion de projets

PRESENTATION

Industrial and commercial processes operate mainly on programme, project and network structures. Operational internationalisation and the speed of development require managers, engineers and technicians to model their processes through projects to manage the life cycles of products and services.

Mid-term projects are the stepping stones for the long-term objectives of international organisations; they also confirm or call to adapt the overall strategy based on in-between results.

International project management defines a business plan and a scope with key objectives, designs the framework, anticipates risks, plans the phases and identifies the tasks, organises the resources, sets up internal and external communication structures and ensures a flexible approach to respond to change. It takes into account national differences in jurisdiction, ways of working, market behaviour, partners’ mentality and customs.
