Project Management Coaching
Accidental Project Manager
From idea to delivery, without the project management jargon.
For business owners, entrepreneurs and SME staff who need to make something happen without formal project management training.
Overview
Why this programme exists
Not everyone responsible for delivering a project has chosen to become a project manager.
You might be running a business, developing a new product, introducing a service, implementing a system or coordinating a change.
You know what needs to happen, but organising the work, managing competing demands and keeping people aligned can be difficult when project management is not your profession.
Accidental Project Manager provides practical coaching and guided delivery support to help you turn an idea into a workable plan, make informed decisions and move towards delivery.

- Business owners launching products or services.
- Entrepreneurs starting or developing a business.
- SME employees asked to coordinate projects or change.
