Building Project Management Capability in a Leading Medical Association

A leading medical association wanted to strengthen its ability to manage complex strategic initiatives through stronger project management practices. The organization sought a structured approach that would enhance capability across teams with varying levels of experience and align project delivery with its mission and goals.

We partnered with the association to provide a tailored training and development program that introduced a practical, easy-to-adopt project management framework designed to fit the organization’s culture and needs.
