About the programme

Course Overview

Most recovery effort on transport carbon reduction projects is spent on problems that were visible early. A schedule for reduction projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. The course sets out a working method for the practice within project and portfolio delivery that participants can apply the week they return. Plans for transport carbon reduction projects often fail at the handover point between functions. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this part of project and portfolio delivery is examined from more than one functional angle. They acquire practical criteria for judging when reduction projects is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants apply transport carbon reduction projects to their own project throughout, so the output is directly usable. Organisations that document reduction projects properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants leave with a plan for this area of project and portfolio delivery sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Build a schedule for transport carbon reduction projects with a genuine critical path and realistic durations.

  • Define the scope and boundaries of reduction projects so that responsibility for it is unambiguous.

  • Define the scope of transport carbon reduction projects precisely, including what is explicitly excluded.

  • Choose the delivery approach for reduction projects — predictive, adaptive or hybrid — deliberately.

  • Identify the failure points in transport carbon reduction projects most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

  • Identify and quantify the risks to reduction projects and assign owners.

  • Plan the handover of transport carbon reduction projects so that capability is not lost when key staff move on.

Who Should Attend

  • Business partners who must understand transport carbon reduction projects well enough to challenge it.

  • Anyone whose accountability for reduction projects exceeds their current formal training in it.

  • Client and stakeholder representatives monitoring transport carbon reduction projects.

  • Programme and portfolio managers overseeing reduction projects.
