Project Management Training

Deliver projects with greater confidence, control, and consistency

Talk with an expert

Available in person across Australia and New Zealand

Kepner-Tregoe’s two-day Project Management training helps project leaders combine practical project management skills with structured decision making and risk management. Learn how to define projects clearly, make better decisions at critical stages, anticipate challenges, and keep projects aligned from planning through to completion.

THE CHALLENGE

Projects don’t just fail because of poor planning

Most project management training focuses on schedules, resources, and delivery.
But many projects run into difficulty because teams struggle with the decisions and uncertainty that happen along the way.

Projects can be impacted by:

  • unclear objectives and priorities
  • decisions made without the right information
  • risks identified too late
  • unresolved problems slowing progress
  • poor alignment between stakeholders
  • difficulty deciding whether to continue, change direction, or stop

Successful project delivery requires more than following a plan. It requires clear thinking at every stage.

THE CHANGE

Bring better thinking to every stage of your project

Projects involve hundreds of decisions. Kepner-Tregoe’s Project Management methodology helps teams apply structured thinking throughout the project lifecycle.

Participants learn how to:

  • define project goals and success criteria
  • evaluate options before committing resources
  • make stronger decisions at key project stages
  • identify and manage risks early
  • anticipate potential problems
  • keep stakeholders aligned
  • improve project execution and outcomes

For organisations using stage-gate project management approaches, KT Decision Analysis provides a structured way to evaluate projects, compare alternatives, and support better investment decisions at critical approval points.

Project Management training is designed to help participants improve project performance from the moment they return to work.

  • Lead and motivate project teams
  • Communicate confidently with stakeholders
  • Identify and manage project risks

Participants leave with practical skills and tools that can be applied immediately to projects of all sizes and complexity.

I have been fortunate to have worked with Kepner Tregoe since 1998, when I was first taught basic principles in problem solving and opportunity analysis in the UK. When I came to Australia in 2008, I engaged KT to help my food business, Goodman Fielder, to become better at project management and develop a common language for improvement that also encouraged the team to work better together across 8 sites in Australasia. This enabled our business to improve our innovation process to ensure that we could deliver at pace and without issues in a very demanding and unforgiving market.

KT also helped us to project manage a $250m factory transfer and build for GWF in regional Victoria IN 2010, as well as supporting a significant investment in a Glasshouse complex in regional NSW for the Costa Group IN 2015.
We have done likewise in my current business, this year 2026, in the Selleys / Dulux business using the same principles and support from KT.

I value the quality of the people that deliver the support, the simplicity of language used in the training tools, along with the transferable education that we can use into our everyday lives. The results speak for themselves, and they are my first port of call for help. I would recommend them to anyone looking to improve their processes/project management and, more importantly, helping their teams to grow and work better together.
