In New Delhi, India Month 1: Three Days Classroom Training 15-16-17 July 2011 (Fri-Sat-Sun) PM1: Understanding the Totality of Project Management International EDPM Syllabus Traditional working and thinking is not enough to pave a new path for making business competitive. Too much dependence of 'engraved or past memories' impact our ability to innovate or provide innovative thinking. Continuous Education, Skill Development and Applied Research are the basic ingredients to have a competitive advantage to move with relative ease in the uncertain future. It is in this light that we have designed the unique part time Diploma program for working executives. Project and Program Management are certainly at the center stage. It is the most appropriate time to pay serious attention to acquiring necessary skills in executing projects and programs with startling success as a part of organizational culture. Feed Fo r ward Conceptualize Plan Organize Implement Control Feedback This covers the eight phases of the Project Life Cycle (PLC) with 36 Knowledge Areas and 110 Concepts. In the three days, the students will be able to better appreciate the nuances of managing projects and programs. The training will be followed by a 2 hour objective, multiple choice exam towards getting the well known Certificate In Project Management (CIPM) credential. Integrate Before starting this module, to assess the knowledge level of the participants, their Deliver & Closeout PM knowledge will be assessed on a scale of 1 to 10 through the Project Management Knowledge Leverage Knowledge Quotient (PMKQ ) questions. At the end of the 3 days, a post PMKQ assessment will be taken by mapping the scores obtained in the CIPM exam in areas that were covered by the PMKQ questions. It is expected that participants will have improved their performance by a factor of 2. CIPM credential was started in 2008. Currently there are over 5000 CIPM credential holders globally. Month 2: Three Days Classroom Training 12-13-14 August 2011 (Fri-Sat-Sun) PM2: Transformational Corporate Strategy Strategies are realized through undertaking of projects and programs. Topics covered are: Historical Perspective of A B Strategy Formulation Strategy, Analysis and Choices, Strategy Implementation, Control and Evaluation, Implications of Balanced Score Card in Strategy Implementation, Critical Success Factors and Key Performance Indicators. The explicit/implicit linkage between strategies, portfolio, program and projects will be made. On the third day, we would invite Guest Speakers who have been in the forefront in transforming strategies to deliveries to share key learnings with the participants. In New Delhi, India Month 3: Three Days Classroom Training 9-10-11 September 2011 (Fri-Sat-Sun) PM3: Project Risk Management Projects are taken up to build the future. They are full of uncertainties. Risk is, therefore, at the centre stage of managing projects. Risk is associated with time, cost, scope, quality, communication, HR, procurement and integration. Risk can also be triggered by political and social environment. Topics covered are: Risk Management Plan, Assessment, Identification, Analysis, Response, Monitoring and Control. Few success stories in managing risks will also be covered. Advanced concepts in risk management will be further covered as a topic in George Washington University School of Business curriculum. The discussions on lessons learnt in managing risks will take place during the interactions with NASA officials. 4 "Certificate In Project Management (CIPM) is unique and should become a must for professionals of an enterprise to create a common vocabulary" - Dr. Hiroshi Tanaka, President, Project Management Association, Japan and PM Advocate of JGC Corporation

Month 4: Three Days Classroom Training 14-15-16 October 2011 (Fri-Sat-Sun) 14 October 2011 (Fri) PM4: Advanced Concepts in Project Management Adesh Jain, B.E. in Electrical Engineering (1965) from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Masters of Engineering in Control Systems from Canada in 1967 is the first IPMA Level A Certified professional and the first PMP from India. He is Vice Chair (Technical) of the International Cost Engineering Council (ICEC). In 2005, Adesh became the first non-european President of IPMA since its establishment in 1965. He was invited by NASA to address the participants at their 'PM Challenge 2010' in Galveston, Texas. He is Hon. National President of PMA and Chairman of I2P2M. He has over 40 papers to his credit and brings with him vast industry experience. Topics to be covered: 'Breaking boundaries: the key to innovation' based on presentation in NASA - PM Conference 2010 'Creating boundaries for excellence' based on presentation in IPMA World Congress Istanbul November 2010 The salient features of ISO 21500 (likely to be released in 2012) covering the guidelines to management of projects will be highlighted. Adesh Jain's model for measuring Organization's Project Management Maturity through Six Levels Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) concepts will be highlighted Project to Program Management for innovative enterprises (P2M) is the unique body of knowledge of Japan.

Grant's recent and extensive leadership experience in major Australian Defence acquisition projects coupled with his Executive Masters in Complex Project Management combine a senior practitioner's proficiency with academic rigour bringing an operational focus to the newly established, not-for-profit ICCPM. The renowned International Centre for Complex Project Management (ICCPM) provides leadership in the advancement of knowledge and practice in the management of complex projects, enabling the global community to better deliver complex projects with real social, environmental and economic benefits. ICCPM was established by Australian, UK and US government bodies and major defense industry corporations, and is now a substantial network of global corporate, government, academic and professional organizations committed to better management of complex projects across all industry and government sectors. Topics to be covered: Complex Project Management What makes a project Complex Moving beyond classical Body of Knowledge (BOK) practices Benefits realisation - Some of the most valuable outcomes of complex projects are not easily captured through traditional metrics, e.g. building / maintaining national capabilities, developing innovative technologies, local / regional / national development. Combining traditional metrics with a benefits realisation approach provides a balanced approach to evaluation The Conspiracy of Optimism Why Mega Projects Fail (with Paper) Case Study on a Complex Project (short pre-reading will be supplied) Introduction to System Thinking First, the aim is to enhance the 'critical' (reflective) competence not only of well trained professionals and decision makers but also of ordinary people. Second, reflective practice cannot be secured by theoretical means only but requires 'heuristic' support in the form of questions and argumentation tools that make a difference in practice. And third, 'systems' thinking can provide us with a useful starting point for understanding the methodological requirements of such an approach to reflective practice. Soft Systems Methodology: is an organized, flexible process for dealing with situations which someone sees as problematical, situations which call for action to be taken to improve them, to make them more acceptable, less full of tensions and unanswered questions. Five Minds and Leadership: We live in a time of vast changes. And those changes call for entirely new ways of learning and thinking. In Five Minds for the Future we will examine the cognitive abilities that will command a premium in the years ahead, in particular we will look at the respectful and ethical minds. All men by nature desire knowledge - Aristotle 5
