Episode 2 – Know the Why – Training for Real Impact in Project Management

Podcast Length: 35:31

In this episode of the PPM Playbook Podcast, we dive into one of the most critical, and often overlooked, aspects of successful project portfolio management: training. But we’re not just talking about how to use a new platform; we’re talking about why it’s being brought in, how it benefits the individual user, and what it means for the organisation as a whole.

Host Laura Watts is joined by two of Verto’s seasoned experts, Craig Dixon and Simon Hall, to explore how effective training goes beyond system walkthroughs to embed real, lasting change. We’ll discuss the importance of building a culture of learning, how to tailor training to different teams, and why understanding the “why” is just as important as knowing the “how.” If your organisation is looking to drive adoption, increase confidence, and maximise the value of your PPM platform, this episode is your blueprint.
