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.
