Purpose of the course
This intensive course is an in-depth study of the MSP method and includes the highly valued Practitioner exam.

- Apply the MSP framework in a programme environment
- Identify and track benefits

Prerequisites
You must hold the MSP Foundation qualification and actual experience of working in a Programme environment is desirable and those sitting the course are advised to complete the pre-course workbook and reading.Benefits for you as an individual
The course will help the delegate to manage a complex change environment. Attendees will appreciate the different perspectives that are germane to risk management, how stakeholders can be identified and engaged, how to prepare for transition and how benefits should be identified and evaluated.
Benefits for your organisation
The course relays the importance of an orderly management of change which, in a programme environment, is especially difficult to achieve. In particular, the course will focus on transition (preparing for it, enacting it and then, once it has occurred, realising benefits). A significant focus of the course is on benefits realisation: how claimed benefits must be properly tested for their validity and, if they are valid, how to make more likely the chance of them being realised.
