FPM 334: Progressive Leadership in Program Management
This course prepares you for leadership at the top of the program — where you're not just running the work, you're shaping the organization around it. At the senior level, leadership stops being about managing a team and starts being about strategy, change, and legacy: aligning a program to the organization's vision, navigating the political and system environment around it, and developing the leaders who'll come after you. FPM 334 takes the same five pillars at the heart of our most popular leadership courses — critical thinking and decision making, negotiation, leadership, communication, and conflict resolution — and applies them at the altitude a senior program leader operates from. You'll learn to make timely, high-stakes decisions in a complex federal system; negotiate and forge the relationships that hold a major program together; compose and drive a leadership strategy that effects real organizational change; communicate a vision clearly enough that others follow it; and resolve the highest-level conflicts before they threaten the mission. You'll also build the senior-leader capacities the role demands — mentoring and developing the next generation of PMs, modeling the accountability that governs how program resources are used, and reading the internal and external environment to see the road ahead. Exercises put these to work, because strategic leadership is proven in practice, not theory. You won't just study senior leadership — you'll sharpen the judgment to lead a major program, change an organization, and leave it stronger than you found it.
A note on certification paths: This course is one of the four FPM 331–334 courses that together meet FAC-P/PM Senior-Level training. Senior-level certification also calls for significant project/program management experience. Because requirements vary by agency, check with your Acquisition Career Manager (ACM) to confirm what your agency requires before you build your certification plan.
Whether you take it for certification or not — this is a great way to earn CLPs while building genuinely valuable, immediately usable project management skills. Solid knowledge, real CLP credit, and practical tools and information to make you better at your job.
Format: 2 days / 16 CLPs. Classroom or virtual.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
