Project management for young scientists. Taking off as a project pilot.

Lecturer:

Course typ:

Workshop

Description:

The course will be given by Anna Royon-Weigelt, Golin Wissenschaftsmanagement, Hamburg.

New, time limited and complex - such are the tasks generally undertaken as projects. A work environment without project work is almost unimaginable nowadays. And this is not only true for the non-academic sector: Even the doctorate is a project!
Proven project management tools pave the way for the professional development and planning of projects, for competent guiding of their implementation and for their successful completion.
With the help of these tools even difficult steps in the project journey can be safely navigated. During the workshop the participants familiarize themselves with the most important project management methods and instruments. The following topics are at the core of the workshop:
- Basics of project management: From design to completion of a project
- It is all about direction: Setting objectives for my projects
- How to handle the unforeseen: Strategies for dealing with difficulties
- Projects in the higher education sector: What are the idiosyncrasies of academia?
- Strengthen your strengths! How can I exploit the strengths of my project?
- Stakeholder analysis: Where do I find support for my project?
- Project management: My next steps

Testimonials:

* If you are in the cloud, the workshop offers strategies to find your way out.
* While in the beginning you might fear this will be another lame soft-skill course with weird games/activities, you actually learn something valuable (and it"s not a lame soft-skill course!)



* The workshop was great to get an overview on Project Management in general and motivated me to dive deeper into the topic. Anna is an amazing trainer and I hope I"ll be able to take more courses with her.
