Global Project Management
Managing a Project with Global Stakeholders
This course is also part of the Advanced Project Management Certification: The Kerzner Approach®
to Best Practices (APMC®) curriculum. For more information, see page 30.
Managing a project where customers and
support organizations are spread over multiple
countries and continents is a major challenge
in today’s increasingly global environment.
There are different needs for communication,
an awareness of different customs and work
expectations, as well as real legal differences
which must be considered.
From identifying stakeholders and gathering
requirements to planning and controlling the
project, a global project has its own unique set
of challenges.
The goal of this course is to equip you with the
necessary knowledge, skills and techniques so
that you can establish effective management
and leadership in an environment with a
diverse set of stakeholders.
