Rather than viewing executive development through a purely individual, siloed lens, this session demonstrates how to treat an organization-wide coaching and mentoring initiative as a formal, structured Program or Programme, if you like. Participants will learn how to apply global Project Management Institute’s (PMI’s) Program Management Professional (PgMP) standards to align individual behavioral shifts with corporate benefits realization, manage complex tripartite stakeholder dynamics, and maintain strict modality boundaries (modality demarcation) to protect client autonomy while delivering hard, measurable ROI to paying corporate sponsors.
