About This Course
The Project Control Group (PCG) plays a pivotal role in steering workplace transformation projects from inception. This course guides you through the PCG’s responsibilities during the initiation phase — endorsing project charters, reviewing risk registers, shaping governance frameworks, and aligning change and design strategies with business objectives.
