Business Leaders, Project Owners & Sponsors

Business Leaders, Project Owners & Sponsors exercise considerable influence on the success or otherwise of project managers and their teams. These executive and management positions establish critical business objectives, provide project governance through project approval committees and influence project requirements via steering committees and stewardship roles.

HAIN Consulting provides interventions to equip this group of leaders with the practices of good governance and an appreciation of the factors which support leading project performance. Business Leaders, Project Owners & Sponsors are time poor so our involvement is highly time efficient and is designed to create a site specific action plan for improving their contributions to the delivery of capital projects based on the latest project benchmarking data and leading site practices.

Usually conducted as a site leadership team action planning activity not a training session. If training needs are identified these can be organised for subsequent sessions.
