Rambøll’s 16,500 consulting engineers, designers and management consultants have the ambition to create sustainable and long-term solutions for both clients and society. Today, Rambøll has a global presence with a strong representation in the North, the U.K, North America, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific area.

The challenge

• Untapped potential within Ramboll’s internal project management programme
• Low attendance rate for in-class modules due to both time and financial costs

The solution

• Close collaboration between Rambøll and Mannaz in streamlining and optimising the project management programme – without compromising quality
• Intensive programme with 9 training sessions of two hours, digital learning space and a final case exam
• Improved use of digital options by implementing a 100% virtual programme

The result

• Larger teams – more participants in each programme
• Reducing time consumption by half while maintaining the same outcome
• Satisfied participants

The process:

Pure knowledge and no wasted time

The programme has been completed by several groups of international project managers.

Considering that the programme has already been cut to the core, it has been essential to ensure that participants show up prepared to avoid any wasted time. The participants are therefore divided into groups, where one person takes on the project management role and arranges the cooperation in group assignments and ensures that all participants are prepared for the virtually facilitated sessions.

Evaluation and final exam

Halfway through the course, there was an evaluation with the managers of the individual participants and relevant colleagues as well as an assessment of the participants preliminary feedback.

The programme is completed with an exam in the form of a case-based assignment, which includes 5-7 course elements, which should then be implemented on the participants own project.

The result:

Improved results in half the time

After the first virtual programme in project management, Mannaz measured the results as always. And the new virtual programme impresses.

In both the pre and post-test as well as in the job test, which measures desired change in behaviour, participants were at the same level or higher as when completing the former programme model at Rambøll.

The conclusion is obvious

The outcome of the programme remained intact or was even improved within half the number of hours. That result comes from focused prioritising of the programme in terms on core competences, an emphasis on including the participants’ own organisation and dilemmas, and the virtually facilitated sessions, which are delivered in shorter sessions over a longer period of time compared to the former programme. This provides participants with several opportunities to use their new knowledge in their everyday life, even during the execution of the programme.

Rambølls new virtual project management programme delivers:

• Equivalent or even improved results with a 100% virtual programme
• Reducing time consumption by half while maintaining the same outcome
• A streamlined programme focused on core competences
• Larger teams – more participants in each programme
• Savings in travel and time expenditures
• Satisfied participants
