How to become a better project leader

As a brand manager at Lilleborg you are often the project leader in a number of various projects. The projects differ from each other regarding budget, time-plan, basic conditions and objectives but most often they conclude with either a relaunch of a current product or the launch of a new and exciting innovation in the marketplace. Since project leading constitutes a significant role in the brand manager’s job description, all Young Professionals at Lilleborg are obliged to participate in a very interesting and useful project-leader course.

The course is held by a qualified and well-educated project leader with a lot of “real-life”-knowledge and experience. During the two days, traditional project leader-theory was mixed with work shops and group assignments. The newly found knowledge was applied on real Orkla-projects, which made it much more relevant and useful.

Below you see Michel Esnault lecture valuable project-leader theory, theory that later on is applied on a real Orkla-project and presented by Ståle, in front of his team.
