Project Governance and Leadership for Senior Executives

Share: linkedin x.com

You may be wondering why Ricardo Vargas created this course. The answer is simple: it's not to teach you how to create a schedule, create a project budget, or track changes in your project environment. These tasks are usually assigned to project managers. This course aims to teach you how to sponsor and participate as an executive in the project environment.

Go to:

This course provides a comprehensive and practical overview of project management from an executive perspective. Instead of focusing on operational tasks, it teaches how leaders and sponsors can drive project success across the organization.

Participants will explore the project life cycle, key delivery approaches, and how to select the most effective method for each context. The program covers essential roles such as project manager, sponsor, and project board, emphasizing governance, ethics, and the strategic role of PMOs.

It also addresses how project culture is built—particularly in international and virtual environments—and how to assess organizational maturity in project management. Through KPIs, OKRs, and dashboards, you will learn how to measure performance effectively. ESG and sustainability are highlighted as central pillars of modern project delivery.

By the end of the course, you will be ready to act as an agent of change and lead initiatives that create lasting impact within your organization.
