As this is no longer a secret to anyone, competition in the field of construction is increasingly harsh and often unfair, hence the need to properly manage the projects carried out by guaranteeing three parameters that are cost, quality and deadlines, knowing perfectly how to reconcile between customer satisfaction and Company preservation of interests, hence the need to control every project-management skills that are sometimes, failing to certain managers.

Having essentially experience in the technical aspects (where they are initially trained) "they often find themselves confronted with difficulties they are not prepared to" as stated by the Chief Executive Officer.

Recognizing this fact, the General Directorate has decided to raise a new challenge by offering a worthy training in project management, to its executives currently taking the reins of the structures of the Company at the project level or at the central level, and those which are intended to take them.

The aim is to provide them with tools capable of instilling all the qualities that any manager should have, namely, the ability to organize, lead, motivate, communicate, make-do, manage, analyze, decide and to plan, in compliance with all the technical tasks that our Project Managers and engineers already mastered.

Consequently, during 23 and 24 this month, two days of study, held at the Welcome and training Centre (CAF), have been devoted to the theme " Project Management Training ", animated the first day By Mr. SEDDAOUI, on the concepts of Project Management and its dimensions in describing, in the end, the profile of " the 21st century Manager ". He stressed the multi Manager, in the sense that it must ensure tasks both technical and commercial and economic especially because its Project must first be profitable. If the customer satisfaction is an important objective to achieve, the Enterprise is there, first and foremost, to make profits through which it ensures its survival.

The second day was devoted to two external experts: one target tools for planning, while the other took up the human dimension of project management. Obviously, the end of each intervention, training programs offered are discussed. Moreover, a questionnaire was given to each participant to express its opinions and recommendations on topics to develop and the organization of action to take account of their constraints. But what is to retain, is clear ownership of the training by the CEO, who spoke at both the opening and closing.

If, in general, training is among its strategic priorities, he held a particularly stressed to the importance it attaches to executives training in project management.

And for good reason, he said that "this action is my work, I would personally follow it." He also stressed that training will be a criterion in executives assessment.
