Strategic Management of Major Projects

CPD Flyer (1) _Page_1.jpg

The Strategic Management of Major Projects (SMMP) is a commissioned executive education program designed to address strategic capability gaps in major infrastructure delivery organisations.

​

The program addresses a persistent and well-evidenced reality:
most program failures originate at a strategic level, not at program or project execution level.

 

Who the Program Is For:

The SMMP is designed for:

  • Infrastructure owners and clients

  • Public authorities and sponsoring bodies

  • Tier-1 consultants and delivery organisations

  • Corporate entities managing large capital portfolios

​​

It is intended for senior leaders with strategic responsibility, not general practitioners.
