Managing Successful Programmes Training Course

/in /by

Managing Successful Programmes (MSP™) is the most popular programme management training course.

MSP helps with the successful delivery of transformational change. It is recognised as key to enabling organisations to manage change, MSP is being used and adopted more and more within both public and private sectors.

The MSP framework is based on three core concepts:
MSP Principles. These are derived from positive and negative lessons learned from programme experiences. They are the common factors that underpin the success of any transformational change.
MSP Governance Themes. These define an organisation’s approach to programme management. The help an organisation to put in place the right leadership, delivery team, organisation structures and controls, giving the best chance for success.
MSP Transformational Flow. This provides a route through the lifecycle of a programme from its conception through to the delivery of the new capability, outcomes and benefits.

The MSP framework is especially useful in today’s climate where organisations are constantly adapting to or leading change. Organisations must learn how to adapt and transform themselves through effective leadership and strategic control in order to survive and prosper. Programme management enables organisations to manage that transformation. Where there is major change there will be complexity, risk, many interdependencies to manage and conflicting priorities to resolve. MSP provides a structured framework and approach to programme management that can help organisations avoid pitfalls and achieve their goals.

Gaining a certification in Managing Successful Programmes at Foundation level can be achieved in three days, with Practitioner being able to be gained in a further two days. We deliver MSP training courses in Wellington and Auckland throughout the year. For more information and to register for our training course click here
