The Netherlands-based global vendor leasing organisation De Lage Landen (DLL) has commissioned Rhema Group to provide formal project management coaching for 10 of its key project managers in Europe, as a follow-up to Rhema's recent successful delivery of project management training, according to Training Press Releases.

Delegates taking part in the training are encouraged to identify general and specific issues surrounding the projects they are running, and how to implement CORE, their chosen project management method.

The coaching also provides delegates with a practical opportunity to incorporate a wider range of project management best practice. The high-level objectives of DLL's coaching initiative are to produce capable people to run successful projects, implement project management tools and techniques, and build on the training investment.
