Course Vision
The course will provide insight into the best practices for performing project audits as a quality assurance instrument, a governance instrument as well as a learning instrument in the project-oriented organisation. Professionally conducted audits ensure the acceptance of the audit results and help the project to improve its performance.We offer traditional and less traditional auditing and assessment instruments.We go far behind the claim for efficiency and will show that the value added by a project audit or assessment is very much dependent on the baseline against which the audit is taken.In addition to project management standards as baseline for the audit, we offer new insights of possible consideration of sustainability principles such as the economic, ecologic and social dimension in projects and project management to ensure project results that contribute to a sustainable development.
Training methods
The course includes lectures and plenary discussions as well as group sessions, role playing, systemic working forms like systemic constellations and reflecting team situations. Case studies from participants will be welcomed and participants are invited to bring project management documentation with them to be analysed during the course.
The instructors will give basic information and lead extensive discussions together with exchange of experiences among the participants.
