Part of the challenge that the Project Manager faces is having to serve so many different stakeholders and sometimes being pulled in very different directions.

We’re often taught that our “sponsor” is the person who champions the effort and provides critical support.

Indeed, the sponsor is often the one we’re to seek out for support and issue resolution throughout the project.  But what do you do when your sponsor IS the problem???

Unfortunately, sponsors can sometimes be unrealistic, overly demanding, absent/unsupportive, domineering/overbearing, erratic, unclear, or just plain weak!

The good news is that there are techniques that even a rookie project manager can use to effectively manage these difficult sponsors.

This workshop explores 3 specific varieties of the “difficult sponsor”:

• The MIA Sponsor
• The Egomaniac
• The Weakling

This presentation provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers can use immediately to help manage these difficult sponsors for optimum project success.

Delivering The Value!

From blue sky strategy to money in the bank. Large numbers of public procurement initiative have suffered where the business case wasn’t as clear as it should be, and the contract has not managed to deliver the benefits expected.

This led to the UK Government’s development of the ‘Five Case Model’ – a best practice approach to developing spending proposals and enabling effective business decisions, further resulting in the development of the Better Business Cases training and certification scheme.

Presenter Cath Convery (LinkedIn profile) will explore one of the five key components of the Five Case Model – The Commercial Case – to see what you might include, some of the tools you might use to write an effective business case and to hopefully leave you wanting more!

This webinar is designed for anyone involved in writing or reviewing business cases and spending proposals.
