Communication & Collaboration skills for Project & Program Professionals:
"Professionals need to focus on a strong relation with their clients. Relations that are based on value. Commiting, extending and strenghting your relations requires multiple skills. Not merely technical but also more soft skills like communication and collaboration.”Nancy McKinstry CEO Wolters Kluwer
Technical knowledge and individual performance criteria are no longer enough in the professional project world. Recent studies show that clients and stakeholder expect more from their professional advisors. They worry, however, if their advisors have the soft skills necessary to provide value in their service.
Benefits of improving communication and collaboration:
- Stronger client relationships
- Efficient project / programme delivery
- Effectiveness of problem solving
- Develop responsiveness and flexibility in teams
- Personal career progression and continued professional development (CPD).
The course covers:
- The do and don’ts of effective collaboration
- The role of communication skills in efficient collaboration and service delivery.
- Why storytelling in projects and particularly for management professionals
- How to structure technical communication for impact and influence
- Tools and techniques to make communicating technical facts, concepts and numbers more engaging and memorable.
- Principles of using data visualisation techniques to create clear messages

What we offer goes beyond generic soft-skills training. Our unique approach combining collaboration and communication skills focuses on the specific needs of professionals who work with numbers, complex data and “dry” subject matters and who regularly have to communicate their knowledge to lay people.
We enable these professionals turn their messages into compelling stories, show them how to develop their personal management and communication styles that work for them, their teams and their clients.
