Executive Leadership in Major Projects

Our Executive Leadership in Major Projects (ELMP) program has transformed projects and advanced careers. This is not a general leadership program, this is a ‘one of a kind’ experience that integrates real-world experience with world-class research on major project excellence. It is uniquely tailored for the rapid, unpredictable, paradoxical, and tangled challenges of leading complex projects and project portfolios.
