FOREWORD BY THE PROGRAMME HEAD

South Africa and Africa urgently requires professional project management skills. The need for this has been confirmed by the government, the private sector and also the South African National Scarce Skills List. The content of the USBs new postgraduate qualification is therefore relevant because it focuses on strategic project management and upper management skills to produce professional project managers. The modules include risk, procurement, communication and cost management, as well as project leadership.

MC Botha

This gives employed managers on all management levels the opportunity to obtain specialist skills. It is also aimed at managers who have the potential to be promoted to higher management positions.

Projects are managed in a context of complexity, constant change, the need for a rapid response and the need for inputs from across divisions, organisations or even countries. In 2012, President Jacob Zuma outlined the governments Infrastructure Build Programme in his State of the Nation Address. This infrastructure programme is central to the Zuma administrations plan to create five million jobs by 2020.
