11 March - Labour - UCT Graduate School of Business runs exciting course for project managers

In today’s show, we spoke to Dennis Comninos - Director of the Strategic Project Management programme at the UCT Graduate School of Business. According to Comninos, project managers should not engage in wishful thinking about returning to the way things used to be – in the post-crash world, mega projects are likely to be few and far between. He says the “new normal” for projects is smaller, faster and focused on what is essential with a reduced level of investment. Comninos, co-directs the UCT Graduate School of Business’ five-day course Strategic Project Management – for senior project managers in August – and directs the GSB foundation Project Management course in April. The two courses impart tools and techniques that empower project mangers to achieve success in the context of the challenges they are facing today.
