Completing projects on time, on budget, and on specification is critical to business success. As projects become more complex due to new technologies and ever-changing dependencies, it's critical to have a proven framework for leading them.
Project planning and execution is often accompanied by challenges and setbacks. Research shows that around one in every four projects fails and most organizations can’t cope with uncertainty and complexity. One of the reasons for this low rate of success is the lack of adoption of project management frameworks and tools.
Success with critical projects hinges on developing an understanding of the types of complexities you’re likely to encounter within the projects, from their structure and scope to the changing nature of the project, to the power and political dynamics within the project team and in wider stakeholder communities.
UC Berkeley Executive Education's Leading Complex Projects program was created to help you strengthen your understanding of these complexities and learn to lead through them to drive successful outcomes.
