The overall objective of RESPRO is to improve people skills in project management education. We will analyse the existing best practices of responsible leadership in project management, specify and include the principles of responsible leadership into the project management education, develop easy-access short (EAS) courses and tools for responsible leadership concerning IMPA people skill standards and raise awareness of responsible project management to achieve this objective.
Completing the actions in RESPRO, the project reaches the outcomes corresponding to the objectives. We will discover the current procedures of responsible project management and reflect the practice to scientific findings, develop easy access short (EAS)-courses and the e-simulation game. We will integrate both into the curricula of participating HEIs. The Teacher Guidebook is designed to support the practical implementation of the EAS courses and the e-simulation game.
Therefore, the specific results of the RESPRO project are the EAS courses (3 ECTs), the e-simulation game and the Guidebook for Teachers. The novel educational tools will improve the people skills of future project managers, deepen their knowledge and skills in responsible leadership and foster their perception of the leader’s role in preserving and promoting the well-being of the project team. Project results support the digital transformation of education and facilitate the digital readiness of students and teachers in project management.
