Research from Harvard Business Review reveals a tough truth: just 35% of projects today are completed successfully. Most fall short – derailed by unclear goals or the wrong approach. Washington Hospital Service’s upcoming project management course is built to change that. Beyond Foundations is a hands-on course designed for health care professionals who are tired of watching good ideas lose momentum due to misalignment, endless planning, or shifting priorities.

By the end of the training, you will:

  • Learn how to match your planning style to the challenge. When is a step-by-step blueprint better? When does flexibility lead to stronger results? The course will show you how to decide.
  • Gain tools to uncover what stakeholders really need because what they ask for isn’t always the real problem. By learning how to ask the right questions, you can deliver better outcomes that address the root cause.
  • Learn how to move forward even when solutions aren’t clear at the start – testing ideas, adjusting quickly, and making steady progress. You’ll also explore how to stay on track even when priorities change mid-project.

Whether you manage teams or contribute to projects, this course gives you practical skills for delivering real results. If you’re ready to rise above the 65% and lead with confidence, register now to secure your spot.

The virtual course begins Oct. 15 and runs twice a week for six weeks. Participants will earn a certificate and 24 PDUs/contact hours, which never expire and can be used toward PMI® certification or renewal.

Group discounts are available. Flex funding may be available for critical access hospitals. Contact Megan Herman at meganh@wsha.org.
