BQE CORE AND TEIGER CONSULTING PRESENT
Part 6 of the ‘Designing Your Business’ Masterclass Series
Available on demand
Great project managers are sometimes underappreciated and overlooked. They are not the architect who designs the building or produces the drawings, but they are an integral role for any A & E firm. Most small and medium firms rarely have proper training or mentorship for project managers. In this course, we will discuss an overview of the skillset and training necessary to hire or manage an effective project manager.
By the end of this session, you will learn how to:
1
Clearly and concisely communicate information both in writing and orally in a neutral manner
2
Enlist tools to stay on top of the staffing, budget, and schedules
3
Apply strategies to stay calm under pressure without being defensive or abrasive
4
Inspire and lead the team, while remaining forward thinking and removing roadblocks
