A hands-on course where you'll plan what to delegate, and how to do it

Learn which tasks are most suitable to delegate to others, and how to keep control of the quality of the output.

Navanter is known for bridging the gap between sales and delivery by bringing our project management experience to salespeople and leaders. Delegating can be viewed as small-scale project management, and bringing the skills from the project management world vastly increases the effectiveness of delegation conversations.

At Navanter, we believe that everyone should be doing tasks which are at the right level to motivate them and contribute to the organisation's goal. By delegating effectively, you ensure you and others are working on the right tasks, in the right way, to the right quality.
