Planning of projects and programs

If you want your people to be able to APPLY their knowledge IMMEDIATELY in practice by working on REAL PROJECTS that they carry out for your organization – design workshops may be what you are looking for.

As a result of the workshop, project teams will rethink the design, identify missing information, analyze risks, and create a schedule they will believe in. The result of the DESIGN WORKSHOPS is not only trained staff, but also project documents created as a result of joint work of participants. Working with TenStep, you entrust your people to the care of practitioners who supported complex organizational projects and the largest investment programs in Poland.

Step-by-step design workshops:

During the DESIGN WORKSHOPS, project managers receive a piece of knowledge relevant to the moment in the process they are in.
Then they are given tasks related to this knowledge, thanks to which they can immediately put it into practice. The tasks relate to the actual projects they implement.
Tasks may include: by analyzing the documentation, identifying and meeting with stakeholders, gaining additional knowledge, making arrangements with the sponsor, developing a project definition (project card) and schedule.
During the implementation of tasks, managers can use the support of TenStep consultants who will share good practices and suggest next steps.
The next steps are to prepare for the role of the project leader. Managers learn what to pay attention when working with a team while working with a client and with a sponsor, what methods to use to solve problems, what to do when the project gets into trouble, how to manage the team and its energy. All this in relation to real situations and real projects of your company.
At the end of the workshop, project managers realize that they not only planned the project, but also organized the knowledge of managing it, handling changes and working with stakeholders. They know the latest trends and the most effective practices. They are prepared, confident and motivated.

So far, 6120 people have participated in the design workshops.

The workshops were highly rated by their participants both in terms of the content as well as the method of transferring knowledge and cooperation between trainers and participants. TenStep Polska provided their services reliably, on time, while maintaining the highest quality standards.’’
