Testimonials“This was the best facilitated course I've done in the long time. So well organised and the presenters treated everyone and everything with good humour. I felt it was OK to raise issues and get things wrong.” “I really valued how practical the course was - you blended project management with auditing extremely well. I am confident that our staff benefited from this course and will use the concepts immediately...” “The most valuable thing I learned was really understanding the differences between my auditor hat and project management hat. I often didn't realize that all of these things that come up (disruptive behaviours, managing stakeholder expectations, issues with scheduling) were normal and there are tools available to help manage what sometimes cause me quite a bit of stress!” |
