Course Description

In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, successful project delivery requires more than meeting scope, time, and cost constraints. It demands a mindset shift, a customer-first approach, and a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. This course explores three strategic success factors that are reshaping modern project management: Agile mindset, customer centricity, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Through real-world examples, frameworks, and reflective exercises, participants will learn how adopting an Agile mindset enhances adaptability and continuous value delivery, how customer centricity improves stakeholder alignment and product relevance, and how CSR expands the impact of project work beyond immediate business goals. Whether managing internal initiatives or large-scale transformations, this course will empower professionals to lead projects that are not only effective—but meaningful and sustainable.
