Program Leadership Excellence

For program directors accountable for multiple interdependent workstreams, not a single project team.

4 days (cohort-based), delivered over two consecutive weeks Live virtual cohort; private cohorts available for enterprise PMO teams

Overview

Running a program is a different discipline from running a project, and most program directors are promoted into the role having only ever practiced the latter. Program Leadership Excellence works through the specific craft of leading across workstreams: managing the seams where individual workstreams report green while the program itself drifts, resequencing work when a dependency slips, and holding a steering committee accountable for decisions instead of status theater.

Who Should Attend

  • Program directors and senior program managers leading multiple interdependent workstreams.
  • Project managers being promoted into program-level scope for the first time.
  • PMO leaders supporting program directors who need a shared leadership vocabulary.
  • Delivery leaders inheriting a program already in flight.

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify where a program is actually failing at the seams between workstreams, not within any single one.
  • Build and defend a single program-level view of risk that supersedes individual workstream reporting.
  • Resequence workstreams under a slipped dependency without triggering a full replan.
  • Run a steering committee that makes program-level trade-off decisions instead of reviewing status.
