Course description
In the face of increasing complexity there is a need for Enterprises to work holistically to ensure successful outcomes. Team members are thus needed who are expert in their specialist fields and also are able to contribute to solving difficult overall problems of project design and delivery.
Cranfield University offers short courses to develop those decision makers, managers, engineers and all contributors associated with achieving success for an Enterprise when faced with such challenges. The aims of these courses are to provide the understanding and tools to enable success for those at all levels from policy makers to practitioners who deal with a wide range of high complexity problems.
Benefits of attending
Delegates will leave with the flexible and broad thinking necessary for Enterprise success when dealing with the challenges of high complexity projects and systems in the 21st Century.
Who should attend
The courses are relevant to a wide range of enterprises and people in many roles who are engaged with sectors such as aerospace, defence, telecommunications, large infrastructure projects and any high complexity products. Attendees from prime contractors, government acquisition organisations and all those in the supply chain will benefit.
The courses will be of particular value to those wishing to have an overview of complete Enterprise issues:
- Team leaders and team members
- Engineers of any discipline working in a systems environment
- Managers of specialist disciplines contributing to overall systems
- Project managers
- Executives wishing to achieve a systems engineering capability in their own organisation
- Those with significant experience who wish to refresh their skills and understanding
- Those with less experience who wish to build their professional competencies.
