Our Project Management Professional Education Series

Project Management Mastery Course
This three-day best-practices course targets beginners, novices and experienced project managers. Through this course, participants can master industry best management practices, techniques for defining, organizing, planning, tracking and managing complex projects. The concepts and processes presented are reinforced through rigorous demonstrations, structured exercises, and group laboratories designed to further reinforce the learning process.

This course provides students the skills to develop a work breakdown structure (WBS), as well as estimating, building a logical network diagram and risk management planning. The course objective is to ensure that participants gain the skills, based on hands-on experience, in producing the details of a comprehensive project plan for a complex project.

Integrated Program Management Course
This one-day course based on using a comprehensive case study to provide the skills necessary to manage complex programs. Participants will practice industry-leading techniques for planning and managing an integrated program. Using a well-researched process model, participants will be required to maneuver through the complex details of managing integrated programs and their multi-project dimensions. Emphasis is placed on techniques for effective cross-functional program integration.

Process Definition and Measurement Course
This three-day course is a must for people beginning process redesign and business process re-engineering and improvement activities. Many organizations can achieve significant cost savings initiatives focused on reducing costs, improving efficiency, eliminating waste and improving process quality. These initiatives, however, often fall short of expectations in part due to a misunderstanding of how current work flow processes are designed, manipulated and their direct correlation of associated performance levels variable. This course prepares process engineers and other business professionals to correctly assess and document existing business processes. Further, this course prepares participants to implement measurement indicators and systems to track and manage process behavior.

Quality Improvement and Six-Sigma
This course picks up where the Process Definition and Measurement Course leaves off. Once a process is mapped and appropriate measures indicate that the process is under statistical process control, Quality Improvement and Six-Sigma presents a process model for identifying and implementing improvement opportunities. This course presents a seven-step approach for improving process performance based on Six-Sigma techniques. Quality tools such as check-sheets, liner graphs charts, control charts, Pareto charts, fishbone diagrams, scatter diagrams, and histograms are introduced and practiced. A case study provides participants the opportunity to master each tool as applied to a real-world process improvement scenario to continue to build upon the best management practices for efficiency.

LSI believes that effective analysis and proper management can improve our clients’ operations dramatically. Further, each course can be modified to a degree to accommodate a client’s specific needs.
