DHIT®: Successfully performing your own project kick-off
The course for a successful project is set in the kick-off. Unclear goals, unmotivated project participants, or cross-directional stakeholders cost a lot of time and money later on and can already be solved or at least identified in a prudently conducted kick-off.

Course description
Making the project kick-off (virtual) a success:
In this very practical and solution-oriented intensive workshop, you will develop a customized concept for your upcoming virtual project kick-off.
This includes a process planning and the design of all important elements of your kick-off including required templates.
By practicing the individual elements and exchanging experiences with your colleagues, you will be prepared at the end of this workshop to conduct your kick-off in a confident and motivating manner.
Step by step to a successful kick-off
First, we collect and prioritize the goals you consider important for a successful kick-off.
The elements for your kick-off that are suitable for achieving them are then conveyed to you in short impulses and explained using implementation examples.
We then put the important elements into an effective schedule, which you can use as a template for your kick-off and adapt individually.
This happens in frequent method changes between methodical impulses, reflection and discussion.
At the end of each module, you set yourself a concrete task to prepare an element of your kick-off and share your results with your colleagues in the following module. In this way, you will jointly develop individual kick-offs for your upcoming projects.
As a final step, you will receive personal coaching in which you will develop answers to any unanswered questions about your kick-off.
