Course Overview
Scope on specialist hospital projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. The estimate for the project and portfolio delivery discipline that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda are used deliberately. Mature organisations treat specialist hospital projects as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this aspect of project and portfolio delivery before they become incidents. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. Buying a tool rarely fixes specialist hospital projects; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the project and portfolio delivery capability hard in practice. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
