Execution Management based on the Critical Chain method is widely adopted and field proven. This introductory mini series is for managers who use Concerto software for Execution Management.

Throughout this series, common problems and root causes will be explored and analyzed. Solutions for solving these problems will be presented in a way that is easy to grasp and that can be readily implemented. In addition, attendees will work through examples given in the workshops to get hands-on experience in solution design, from planning to execution.

These workshops are web-based and are offered throughout the year via instructor-lead or pre-recorded teleconferencing sessions. The workshops will be repeated each quarter. Attendees who successfully completed all eight workshops in Core Series I will be eligible to obtain a Concerto Critical Chain Practitioner certificate*.
