Effective communication is half the battle
Good ideas and how to put them into action are not the only components to successful project implementation. Equally as important is the effective communication of good ideas to project partners and various stakeholders. With this in mind, a training seminar on presentation and communications skills was held by Ukrainian and international experts in Zaporizhzhia (May 26-27, 2009) within the Strategy Implementation and Project Management Training Program (PMT training). These experts, including Valentin Rach, RGD Project Expert (Ukraine), Olga Pashko, RGD Project Expert (Ukraine), and Jurgita Kersyte-Gazarian, RGD Project Expert (Lithuania), focused particularly on how to successfully prepare presentations and effectively communicate to various audiences. After having provided useful tools and techniques, seminar participants who were project developers were also able to put their new knowledge into practice.
With the use of video equipment, participants presented on their projects; afterward, other participants and seminar experts provided comments, opinions, and suggestions for improvement.
The presentation skills obtained during the training module were meant to become part of a powerful as well as highly useful tool-kit for all project teams.
These skills were particularly important to garner for the project defense process as part of PMT training; these took place June 15-17, 2009 in Zaporizhzhia.
