About the course
CMC Finland is seeking for candidates from to the PM²: Project Management in support of CSDP missions and operations. The course is co-organized by the Hellenic Supreme Joint War College (HSJWC) and the State Bureau for Training, Further Education and Personnel of the North Rhine-Westphalian Police (LAFP), under the auspices of the European Security and Defence College (ESDC). The course is organised from 8th to 12th April 2024 in Tessaloniki, Greece at the HSJWC’s premises. We will accept applications until 1615 hours on February 26th 2024.
Objectives
The course aims to increase the efficiency and the effectiveness of CSDP missions and operations through the widely acclaimed framework of PM², which is applicable to projects in any organisation. This methodology has been developed by the European Commission to enable project managers to deliver solutions and benefits to their organisations by effectively managing the entire lifecycle of their projects. The course will provide participants with all the required knowledge, skills and reference material to understand and use effectively the PM² methodology to manage their projects and to establish an effective reporting pathway among stakeholders.
The course will include a preceding e-learning session, which, as a mandatory module, will provide the participants with all the introductory materials they need to become familiar with the PM² methodology. During the five-day residential part of the course, the participants will be introduced to the critical success factors (CSFs) of PM² and given the opportunity to discuss and understand the methodology in practice. Finally, using a fictional project scenario, the participants will gain hands-on experience in applying the PM² methodology in the CSDP context.
Target audience
The course is targeted to civilian, military and police personnel from EU Member States.
