Strategic Project Leadership in Action

In this interactive session which is part of our Executive Education Insight Series in partnership with the MBA Alumni team, Dr Eunice Maytorena-Sanchez will introduce the concept of ‘projecting'.

Projecting is the process by which we transform our organisations and create new opportunities for the future.

Drawing on her research, Eunice will present the Three Domains Model for strategic project organising, which looks beyond the temporary project team to explore its interfaces with permanent organisations and suppliers.

At the heart of this model lies leadership, specifically the capabilities that enable projects to drive strategic success. Those who attend will leave with a holistic perspective on how to lead projects that deliver lasting impact.

The session will cover:

• The concept of ‘projecting’ and how it shapes organisational transformation
• An introduction to the Three Domains Model for strategic project organising
• How projects interface with permanent organisations and suppliers
• The Project Leadership Model and key leadership capabilities for delivering impact
• A introduction to our Leading Major Projects course

The event will be facilitated by Kieran MacCourt, Head of Client Relations at AMBS. The session aims to bring the AMBS Alumni and Executive Education communities together.
