The Henley MBA (Project Management) Programme Manager, Dr Stephen Simister, has been announced as a panellist on The Guardian's live online Q and A session for those in the Project Management sector on 12th January at 1-4pm
As the project management community waits for the findings and updates from the Arras People 2010 Project Management Benchmark Report - due on February 1 - The Guardian has assembled a panel of professionals working in the sector to answer questions about the current job market and offer career advice to everyone from experienced project managers to those just starting out in the field.
The Henley MBA (Project Management) is designed for experienced managers who are seeking to work in organisations that deploy corporate strategy through portfolio, programme and project management. Managers within project-oriented organisations require an in depth understanding of organisational management and its relationship to portfolio, programme and project management. The Henley MBA (Project Management) provides this link between strategy development and deployment.
