Course Overview

The estimate for trade exhibition projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Projects involving the practice within project and portfolio delivery are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of project and portfolio delivery, in large organisations and small ones alike. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in trade exhibition projects, not around theory headings. Organisations that document this part of project and portfolio delivery properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The difficulty is not agreeing that the practice within project and portfolio delivery matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about trade exhibition projects under scrutiny. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this part of project and portfolio delivery in their own setting. The final session converts the week's work on this area of project and portfolio delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
