For upskilling project managers in a structured and systematic way, Paul has devised an 8-part framework called a skills framework.

The difference from conventional training is that the emphasis is on:

• Applied – to high-tech development

• Advanced – beyond conventional training

• Augmented – to what you will have already learned

The 8 components of the framework are the “difference that makes the difference”, when it comes to project management capabilities and skills. We are looking to give you high-performance capabilities, that results in speed, efficiency, effectiveness and impact when you take on a new project.

Paul gives a high-level view of each of the critical skill areas, also weaving in some quick wins, or “hacks”, which can be used immediately on the attendees’ projects. We will also have some challenging exercises to test your learning and application.

The challenges of freelance consultants are comprehensively understood. Paul himself has been a freelance project manager for over 20 years, working in the most challenging of circumstances. We will have also held 6 Escape workshops, so the shape and form of the training is well-adjusted and optimised for Escape needs. We will also discuss:

• How the Escape training emphasis has evolved

• Campus as a learning platform

• Parachuting into new projects – the challenges and solutions

• Project diagnosis as a basis of rapid situational analysis

• The needs of Escape project professionals – let’s discuss!

Background education is an increasingly strong aspect of Escape’s ethos, allowing Escape project professionals to offer greater value and differentiation.
