Course Overview

Projects involving project financing and partnership structuring are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Most recovery effort on partnership structuring is spent on problems that were visible early. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda and prepares them for it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place project financing and partnership structuring among the areas with the widest performance spread. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of project and portfolio delivery under scrutiny. It is written for people who have to make partnership structuring work with the resources they already have. It concentrates on the parts of project financing and partnership structuring that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. What blocks progress on partnership structuring is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda survives a hostile question.
