Project Management in the Public Sector Course

Effecting change in the public sector is complex. Projects take place in dynamic political environments, where priorities shift, decision-making can be slow, and roles and responsibilities are not always clearly defined. At the same time, project managers must work with limited resources, coordinate across multiple institutions, and engage a wide range of stakeholders with different interests.

In this course, we combine practical tools with hands-on insights into how projects actually function in the public sector. Participants bring a project from their daily work and use it to apply tools and reflect on their current project management practices. They learn how to apply different project management tools in a way that fits their organisational reality, helping them translate plans into concrete and achievable results.

A central element is the “I – WE – THEY – IT” approach, which helps participants manage projects from four complementary perspectives:

• I: your role and leadership as a project manager
• WE: working effectively with your project team
• THEY: managing stakeholders in complex environments
• IT: structuring and controlling your project

Participants work with practical tools such as Work Breakdown Structures, stakeholder analysis, risk management and monitoring methods. The course also creates space to critically reflect on existing project management practices and structures within their organisations.
