OVERVIEW

Projects are a fundamental part of every company's business plan, and future-fit organisations need to embrace strategic project management for thriving in the project economy. With the 'new normal' being redefined everyday, the capability to adapt to change has emerged as a benchmark for success coupled with the ability to re-envision not only the nature of the work but also how it gets done.

The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM Calcutta) has designed the Advanced Programme in Strategic Project Management to equip mid and senior executives with the ability to plan and effectively manage projects in their organisations. This nine-month programme is delivered through a blend of immersive live online classes and campus immersions at the IIM Calcutta campus. It offers a comprehensive understanding of portfolio and project management techniques ranging from project planning, risk management, and project finance and budgeting to project leadership and agile methodologies. The programme goes beyond the operational aspects of project management to explore the tactical and behavioural components of leadership and communication that can help participants move from managerial to leadership roles in the process. On successfully completing all the evaluation components and attendance criteria, participants will receive a certificate of completion and the prestigious Executive Alumni Status from IIM Calcutta Executive Education.
