Corporate training

With the extensive experience of Duke Corporate Education and StrategyEx, all the PMD Africa Corporate Project Management Solutions are built to address the specific challenges that get in the way of you delivering on your commitments. If your organization has needs related to project, programme, or portfolio management, contract management, business analysis, or vital project leadership skills – our corporate project management focused courses have you covered.

Projects are the mechanism by which companies get things done. Whether projects exist to implement new services, develop and release new products, improve internal processes, upgrade systems, impact customer experience or manage company growth and expansion; results matter. Project success or failure clearly impacts the overall achievement of corporate goals and influences the bottom line.

Government training

PMD Africa in partnership with Duke Corporate Education and StrategyEx also specialises in solutions for the public and government sectors. We believe that government project management courses alone are not enough, though.

To meet public demand for better and more services amid a budget squeeze, government agencies need three things:

  • An integrated team approach
  • People with state-of-the-art knowledge and skills
  • A work environment that lets people improve how they work

PMD Africa in partnership with Duke Corporate Education and StrategyEx has helped clients fulfill all three needs by never losing sight of the desired outcomes.

Our Approach

Our approach to successful corporate and government project management is rooted within our PMD Africa Impact Model, which is designed to assist your organization in:

  • Identifying clear and quantifiable execution baselines.
  • Designing a road map for optimum learning and skills adoption.
  • Measuring outcomes and validating investments.

In order to ensure long-term success and measurable results, we strongly encourage our corporate and government clients to consider implementing all components of the Impact Model. However, when that is not possible, PMD Africa is always available to step in and deliver market-tested services and business solutions for one or more of the Impact Model’s components without engaging in the others.

Whether implemented fully or partially, the PMD Africa Impact Model delivers value and results every step of the way.

Assess – Define baselines for where you are and where you want to go to realize success.

Implement – Build knowledge and skills for improved performance.

Adopt – Reinforce and apply learned skills.

Validate – Continually assess impact across all elements.
