Senior leadership team reviewing a strategy execution dashboard showing a delivery gap against plan

Your Strategy Is Approved.
Is It Being Delivered?

Most executive teams aren’t short of strategy. The harder part is seeing, early enough, whether it is turning into results, now that boards expect leaders to govern AI-enabled change.

The day is built around the questions leaders bring to us most:

How do we keep visibility across a complex portfolio?
How do we govern AI-enabled change without losing control?
How do we spot transformation risk early enough to act?
How do we keep every workstream aligned to the strategy?
How do we prove the return on what we’re investing?
How do we lead change without wearing our people out?

A facilitated working session with up to 10 senior peers.

What You Earn

Certificate of Completion
IPM Executive Programme

Awarded on completion of the full day. A record of senior-level governance development from the Institute of Project Management, a specialist in project, programme and portfolio education for over 35 years.

7 Contact Hours

One focused day, 09:00 to 17:00 (Irish time), live online. Small by design: never more than 10 executives, so every participant works on their own transformation.

Five Modules. One Day. Sharper Oversight.

Not a lecture. Each module pairs a short expert briefing with peer discussion and a live AI demonstration, then you apply it to your own organisation. The day closes with a simulation where you govern a transformation in crisis, and an action plan you take back to your board. Want to talk it through first?

I have now taken the intro to project management & the Certified Project Management Diploma and really enjoyed both courses. Working in the NGO sector I believe all senior managers should have a grounding in PM. I will be recommending this qualification & provider to the managers I support.

I'd highly recommend the Institute of Project Management

I've been working in Tech for 8 years now and the Agile Project Management class turned into a huge unlock for me, it was the way our dev teams have been doing business and the environment we work in the entire time. I look forward to getting my next PM credential from you.

The caliber of lecturers is very high and the course content, material and delivery are excellent. I've taken the PMP preparation course and passed on the 1st attempt. The Diploma in Strategic Project & Programme Management was equally excellent with relevant use cases, course work, and high quality lectures over a diverse range of topics.
