Course Overview

In this programme you will explore the impact on project management of culture, language variations, religious, contractual, regulatory and legal practices, technology penetration, temporal orientation, gender issues, corruption, ethics, personal liberty, and political contexts. We learn how to meet international project challenges through efficient use of practices and technology. The programme will utilize available case studies and examples from global companies to help you sharpen the skills needed to recognize and foster a successful international project environment.

You will learn how culture affects how teams perceive each other, lead, solve problems and execute tasks. Although the world is increasingly connected, the people behind the projects have biases, expectations, and a perception of life that impacts all decisions. You will also learn how to effectively manage international teams including how to build trust and collaboration across various cultures, time zones, and technological settings. Importantly in an international project management environment, you will learn how to design communication channels and project structures effectively.

You will become familiar with the issues underlying the problem of corruption, which is the abuse of trusted power for private gain. Reducing the risk of corruption strengthens a company’s reputation, builds the respect of employees, and raises credibility with key stakeholders. Finally, you will learn how the adoption of collaboration tools can enhance the international project experience. The programme is designed to teach you how to successfully deliver projects in an international environment.
