Major learning from combined evaluation (31 participants):
• The course should be proposed in two perspectives:
– Effective Leadership
• Covering all topics but more emphasis on leadership and less emphasis on Project Management although key knowledge on PM should be included
– Effective Project Management
• Detailed Project Management training with an overview on leadership to help project leaders but more emphasis on documentation and implementation processes
