    HUMAN FACTORS MANAGEMENT

    The successful project manager in today's business climate needs a strong profit sense, technical knowledge, superior leadership skills, and a reputation for delivering as promised.
    CONSULTANTS TO MANAGEMENT has developed a high intensity, no frills, cost- effective program to develop superior project managers. In this information- packed, very interactive 12-hour course, CONSULTANTS TO MANAGEMENT provides practical skills for people whose business is the design, construction and management of facilities. This program begins with participant self-assesment and concludes with on-the-job action plans.
