Managing your Managers Lynda Bourne CEO Stakeholder Management Pty Ltd
The secret of ‘managing upwards’ eludes many project managers, yet we know that without the support of the senior levels in an organisation the project (or any other activity) will not be successful. One of the most important parts of managing upwards is building credibility so that when the project manager needs support or needs to ‘be heard’ your managers already know about your project and your reputation as someone who can deliver. This workshop will focus on this one aspect as a starting point for ‘being heard’. Topics covered will be: ? ? ? ? The three rules of managing upwards Understanding who is really important and why? Building a campaign for engaging these stakeholders Helping them make the ‘right’ decision for you

This 90 minute workshop will provide some of the toolkit that a project manager needs to ‘help your manager help you’.
