Course Description:

Traditional project management classroom training, goes a long way to developing knowledge of the subject and its related tools and techniques, but where it falls dramatically short, is in the critical area of developing the skills needed to make a positive on-the-job difference, by applying one’s new found knowledge on real life projects.

Simulation based training has been identified, as one of the more effective mediums in addressing the gap between knowledge and practise, and in rounding off a delegates competencies, so that a more effective ROI on the training investment can be realised.

Traditional simulation training has for many years been often based upon case studies, that help delegates undertaking training to apply knowledge learned in the classroom, on scenarios, either via assignments or syndicate groups. Although more effective than just monologue training, this type of simulation lacks the real life element of dealing with shifting and changing dynamics, that are so evident on real business projects.

The 3 day X-Pert Managing By Project Simulation (X-SIM™) course is the most advanced and value-adding medium, for the delivery of modern managing by project and project management related training; it builds competencies (knowledge, skill and attitude) that traditional case study simulation does not.

Ask yourself the question “How do pilots learn to fly planes?” After gaining the academic knowledge dimension, pilots spend many hours in flight simulators, gaining experience on how to apply their new found academic knowledge of flying, in real life simulation situations. This combination of true simulation, with modern knowledge, allows a pilot to confidently make the transition from classroom training to actual flying; thus accelerating the expected training and development ROI.

The X-Pert Managing By Project Simulation course provides organisations and their identified high performers, the opportunity to enrol in this highly successful and results driven course. This interactive 3-day program, not only introduces delegates to the very essence of modern project management knowledge, tools and techniques, but more than any other course out in the market today, allows delegates to convert theory into practise, in a way that will leave participants feeling excited and confident about managing future organisational projects that matter.
