The
program is conducted using a down-to-earth, hands-on format, involving
participants in case studies and reenactments of real world project team
situations. With every skill
block, fundamental principles and techniques are presented. Participants
are then coached in their use and have the opportunity to practice and
perfect the skills learned. The
maximum class size is 20, but for optimum results 12-16 participants is
ideal. |
