The regenerative project management course
Set direction and achieve results as a project manager
Training for project managers in the future regenerative organisations—and in the current traditional ones.
Promentum’s course, “The regenerative project management course,” is a hybrid between a traditional project management education and an introduction to project management within new regenerative organisations. The course therefore integrates all traditional and internationally recognised project management tools, supplemented with our expertise in working within regenerative organisations and managing projects in such contexts.
The course is built on the back of our history. Since 2008. Promentum has been a leader in project management and has trained over 4,500 project managers, approximately 60% of whom have been from the construction industry.
Over the past five years, we have focused on regenerative leadership and regenerative organisations. We are now the leading consulting firm in the Nordic region in the field of regeneration.
It is this historical background that makes the regenerative project management course unique.
Course structure
The project management course spans 9 days and is structured around 4 teaching modules, each lasting 2 days.
The course concludes with a final examination day.
At Promentum, we are committed to developing concrete skills in our participants. Thus, the course does not only provide new knowledge; we also work intensively to ensure that you gain practical experience and can translate your new competencies into actionable results. The course is structured around Promentum’s learning loops, designed to ensure that the knowledge acquired is implemented as new behavior in the participants’ daily work. Between the 4 teaching modules, participants practice the learned tools and engage with various implementation strategies.
Content
We offer a project management course that focuses on each participant’s ability and opportunity to excel as a project manager and leader of processes.
The course incorporates fundamental project development and project management tools, with a particular emphasis on how these tools are facilitated to achieve constructive collaboration within the project team and to foster ownership among individual project participants.
The curriculum alternates between theory and practical training with relevant tools. To ensure optimal relevance to participants’ daily work, the tools are practiced using case studies drawn directly from real-world scenarios. The cases used are so closely aligned with the participants’ own daily work that the concepts and tools are immediately applicable. The tools are thus plug-and-play.

Note: This course is for danish-speaking participants
Module 1: Basic project development and project organisation (2 days)
The focus of this module is to establish the fundamental project management tools. We work on initiating a project and the project development tools that ensure all those involved are aligned and have both a shared understanding and a common ownership of the project. Inspired by design thinking, we emphasize understanding the end-users of the projects during the idea development phase, as well as ensuring relevance in deliverables and goals.
Additionally, we examine the project’s organisation (roles and responsibilities), the individual project in relation to its context and external environment and what this means for the project manager in terms of project management.
Furthermore, we explore how project management in regenerative organisations differs from project management in traditional organisations and relate this to the participants’ current realities.
Module 2: Flow, project management and change management (2 days)
The focus here is on the active management and ongoing adjustment of the project to ensure that the intended effects are harvested, and the project plan is continuously refined. We work with agile and regenerative methods, templates and tools that both facilitate active management and ensure a professional flow and optimal involvement of necessary knowledge throughout the process.
The approach is to liberate expertise, ensure continuous learning and provide the ability to act both proactively and responsively along the way.
We actively work on effective project communication. Additionally, we examine how you can best support the anchoring of the changes that the project entails.
Module 3: Collaboration and the art of creating living projects (2 days)
How can one ensure effective, fruitful and efficient facilitation in projects, so that meetings become invigorating and enhance motivation and ownership among those involved—
ranging from alignment with the project owner to collaboration with users and the many partners, colleagues or leaders involved in the project. We explore motivation theory, knowledge of the regenerative community and the impact of psychological safety on the group’s ability to perform beyond the ordinary. What is the project manager’s role in this and how can a project manager foster a psychologically safe and life-giving collaboration across teams?
Module 4: Your regenerative project leadership (2 days)
No matter how well you understand project theory, your most valuable tool is yourself!
In this module, we focus on personal strengths and development potential. We explore how adjusting your own behavior and communication can enhance others’. Thus, we work on your personal project leadership.
Additionally, we address regenerative leadership in practice, the liberation of project participants’ expertise and conflict understanding and personal conflict patterns. We also examine what all this means in relation to collaboration, development and potential areas for action.
Examination
The regenerative project management course concludes with an examination day. The exam is divided into two parts: a written exam, where participants demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the most commonly used project concepts and an oral component, where participants conduct a project initiation workshop in groups, “live” designing/developing a project. The oral component concludes with a steering committee meeting where the project is presented.
Theory and knowledge
In the course, you will learn internationally recognised theory and practice in project management.
Additionally, you will be introduced to and work with modern management theories on topics such as psychological safety, collaboration, facilitation, conflict management, leadership and regenerative leadership.
You will apply all these theories in relation to your own daily work and project management on an ongoing basis.
Enhanced and practiced project management competencies
You will engage in intensive training to develop projects and facilitate collaboration within the project team. You will learn to create a constructive collaboration culture and handle conflicts. And you will gain tools to involve and create ownership among project stakeholders and to communicate a change project.
You will also gain insight into project management in a regenerative organisation and an understanding of different “project worlds.”
In-depth understanding of personal leadership preferences
You will gain an understanding of your own leadership preferences. You will work on personal issues and challenges related to your project management.
Documentation of competency enhancement
You will receive Promentum’s Diploma for completing the project management course.
The project management course is conducted at a professional level equivalent to IPMA Level B. If you have at least 60 months of experience as a project manager, including managing complex projects for a minimum of 36 months, you may become certified at Level B in project management upon completion of the course. However, this requires that you subsequently sit for an examination with Danish project management.
