The seminar is aimed at project managers, team members, PMOs and executives who work internationally or interculturally – be it with international customers, locations, suppliers or project teams. Ideal for anyone who wants to expand their intercultural skills in a targeted manner.

You will learn what really matters in international projects – from intercultural communication and international stakeholder expectations to typical areas of conflict. You will be given tools and strategies to manage international projects efficiently and with a sure instinct.

The International Project Management seminar takes place either as a face-to-face or live online seminar.

• Live online seminar: Start is at 8:30 am, end around 5:30 pm.
• Face-to-face seminar: The seminar starts at 9:00 a.m. on the first day and at 8:30 a.m. on the following days. The seminar usually ends at 17:30, on the last day at 17:00.

There is a lunch break and flexible breaks in between – depending on the exercise situation and the motivation of the group.

All formats are interactive, practical and include many concrete exercises:

• Live online seminar: You work on exercises in small groups via MS Teams, use Miroboard, AI tools, Slido and other digital exercise formats.
• Classroom seminar: In bright and friendly seminar rooms, you will work on exercises in small groups, experience a wide range of practical examples and have space to exchange experiences. The atmosphere is collegial, structured and open to your specific questions.

The group size is deliberately kept small to allow for intensive learning, personal questions and individual exchange – particularly important for intercultural topics.

Basic knowledge of project management is helpful, but not a prerequisite.
