Given the great success of the previous sessions, the SIB Management and the SIB Training Group are happy to announce a new Project Management 4-day training session.

SIB will work, as in the past, with the company Itéral Management SA from Lausanne, which is specialized in project management, has an approach that is both theoretical and practical and has experience in the academic and scientific field.

• Recognizing and mastering key factors for leading a project to its success
• Identifying and managing stakeholders’ relationships
• Formulating objectives
• Managing the project life cycle from launch to closing
• Defining roles and responsibilities
• Analysing project risks
• Accompanying change
• Planning and following-up
• Managing communications
• Leading the project team
• Using the proper templates and tools

Some feedback from SIB participants on the previous two sessions

One year after the course, the participants were asked to answer a long-term feedback request: all of them found the course relevant to their work and recommended the course to others. Most participants (90%) currently apply what they learned during the course.
