COURSE OVERVIEW
The effective management of large, complicated, concurrent projects requires managerial skills, knowledge, and tools that extend beyond those required for the management of single projects.
The processes of Strategic Project Assessment: Identification, Policy Analysis & Selection are critical to the successful selection and management of projects or programs undertaken to achieve the strategic goals of the organization.
Effective Project Risk Analysis and Management lies at the very core of successful project delivery. The systematic identification, quantification and analysis of project risks, as well as the development of detailed risk treatment strategies to mitigate all relevant risks that threaten the intended outcomes of the project, are essential to the achievement of project success.
Development of a sound, realistic, and carefully structured financing plan, reflecting both the initial capital expenditures required for the acquisition of the asset, as well as the operational expenditures required for the successful operation and maintenance of the asset over its anticipated productive life.
This 15-day Strategic Project Assessment, Risk Management & Financial Appraisal Program will enable delegates to apply the tools and techniques of modern project and program management, risk management and financial analysis effectively.
