  • January 19, 2022 - 6:00pm

There is much more to large-scale projects and programs than to a single large project. In this presentation, the speaker will share how to reach strategic goals, how to professionally manage a number of parallel-running projects, how to manage the requirements of all stakeholders and how to maintain an overall view while taking into consideration intercultural change management methods. The knowledge, examples, and experience shared in this presentation are derived from an actual 3-year program he delivered during his tenure at one of the largest telecommunications organizations.
