The location for the workshops is depending on what is logistically favorable in terms of time, energy and investing. As an alternative we have a location at our Phazama Farm in Tsutsubega where the workshops also can take place.
“The P in PM is as much about ‘people management’ as it is about ‘project management’.”
— Cornelius Fichtner
In a world that is constantly changing, organizations change with it. They often deploy projects to bring about these changes. Projects are not only used when developing new products and building new structures, but also when implementing reorganisations, introducing new information systems, and organizing events. The popularity of project-based work in organizations has therefore continued to grow in recent decades.
Many times, you will work routinely during your job. Yet within companies, you see more and more project-based work as described above. But what does this actually entail? What is the difference between project-based work and routine work? And why approach something in a project-based way? What is the added value?
Project-based working has some specific characteristics. Project management uses processes, skills, tools and knowledge to complete a planned project and achieve its goals. It differs from general management because of the limited scope of a project, concrete deadlines, and specific deliverables.
“A project is a temporary collaboration of a number of people – often from different fields – to achieve a predetermined project result within a set time with a set budget.”
In all our workshops the link between theory and practice is central, allowing participants to apply what they have learned directly in their work.

this is how we do it
Our philosophy on professional and personal development revolves around a holistic approach that encompasses both skill enhancement and personal growth. We believe that continual learning and growth are essential not only for professional success but also for leading fulfilling lives.
The workshops are mainly based on experiential learning. This is the process of learning by doing. By engaging participants in hands-on experiences and reflection, they are better able to connect theories and knowledge learned in the workshop to real-world situations.
What participants gain from experiential learning is:
- A better understanding of the course material
- A broader view of the world and an appreciation of the community around them
- Insight into their own skills, interests, passions, and values
- Positive professional practices and skill sets
- Self-confidence and leadership skills
