Overview:
Despite the effectiveness of your project management, organizational success is measured in terms of its achievement of strategic objectives. Inevitably these objectives must include financial targets. Put simply, it is not sufficient to deliver projects to scope, time, cost and quality requirements. Projects must be clearly and measurably aligned with corporate program and portfolio objectives using appropriate performance indicators. They must optimize both revenue and costs targets, and efficient use of project working assets.
Similarly, despite project success, the achievement of corporate targets and particularly financial targets, are dependent on the nature of related contractual agreements. Whether your company is a buyer of services, a seller of services or both, organizational success is directly dependent on the nature of your contracts. An effective contracting strategy balances risk and opportunity between buyer and seller, and, importantly, motivates the right type of performance.
These are not intangible concepts: this seminar takes a wide-ranging view of the finance, contractual, and risk concepts of successful and profitable project delivery, fully aligned with corporate objectives. More importantly it reviews the practical methods and measurements that your organization can put in place.
The seminar will provide a good working knowledge of each practical area, sufficient to initiate these tools and techniques in practice. The seminar uses worked examples and class discussion to ensure that participants are able to apply tools in their real-world working environment.
