BRISK-PM® is full of real-life scenarios, including personal characteristics of stakeholders, politics within the organization, sudden change requests, and issues and risk management.

BRISK-PM® allows learners to acquire core project management competencies as well as teamwork and leadership skills in an enjoyable way. They enjoy to be exposed to a close to real project, to take decisions under pressure and finally to review them – without any implication on their promotion or career.

BRISK-PM® lasts for about 8 hours including the phases of planning, execution, and debriefing. In most cases, it is split into two parts over two days and combined with other learning activities such as company-specific case studies. During two times 4 hours, the learners are confronted with the planning and the execution of a project.

The project simulation is primarily used in combination with classroom activities. In teams of 3 to 4 people, learners play the role of the project manager. The teams have to plan and execute a typical mid-sized project. They immediately see the consequences of the decisions they make. Furthermore, they can track the evolution of the costs, the schedule, the quality as well as the human factors, and the implications of their decisions!

With the help of BRISK-PM®, a project manager can make all the mistakes while planning and executing a project and learn from these mistakes. This is the true “Learning by Doing” Experience in Project Management. 

BRISK-PM®  provides the teams with phone calls, emails, and voicemails to create a realistic and stressful environment – just as in real life. Therefore, learners experience stress and working under pressure.
