Course Overview

Stakeholders withdraw support for anti-corruption and transparency projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. Projects involving transparency projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the project and portfolio delivery capability is rarely technical. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about anti-corruption and transparency projects in their own setting. Progress on the practice within project and portfolio delivery is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. They leave able to brief senior management on transparency projects in terms that support a decision. This programme builds anti-corruption and transparency projects from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It is designed for mixed groups, so that transparency projects is examined from more than one functional angle. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of project and portfolio delivery broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
