Set acceptance criteria for industrial energy efficiency projects before work begins rather than after.
Managing Energy Efficiency Projects in Heavy Industrial Facilities
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run industrial energy efficiency projects properly.
Course Overview
Projects involving industrial energy efficiency projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. A schedule for efficiency projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda, ready to be adapted internally. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for industrial energy efficiency projects, not for observers of it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the project and portfolio delivery discipline, not around theory headings. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting efficiency projects and under-invest in testing it. Practitioner evidence points the same way: industrial energy efficiency projects improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in efficiency projects rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within project and portfolio delivery survives a hostile question.

Course Modules
Industrial energy efficiency projects: handover, benefits and lessons
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The cost of industrial energy efficiency projects and how to present it
- Rank the weaknesses in industrial energy efficiency projects by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Manage supplier performance on efficiency projects against contract, not goodwill.
- Review whether industrial energy efficiency projects is aligned with the objectives of the project.
- Close out actions on efficiency projects rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
Session 2Pricing every change to efficiency projects
- Build reporting on industrial energy efficiency projects that surfaces problems while they are small.
- Set the change control process for efficiency projects and require cost and time impact.
- Hold a lessons session on industrial energy efficiency projects while memory is accurate.
- Benchmark the organisation's efficiency projects against comparable operations.
Efficiency projects: stakeholders, communication and support
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Handing over efficiency projects and proving the benefit
- Establish the boundary of industrial energy efficiency projects and record what sits outside it.
- Archive the decision record for efficiency projects so successors understand it.
- Register the risks to industrial energy efficiency projects with owner, probability and impact.
- Draft the minimum viable delivery plan for efficiency projects.
Session 2Writing the scope of efficiency projects including what is excluded
- Identify the critical path through industrial energy efficiency projects and the float elsewhere.
- Test the procedure for efficiency projects against a realistic scenario.
- Prepare the recovery plan for industrial energy efficiency projects before it is needed.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to efficiency projects.
Efficiency projects: procurement, contracts and suppliers
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Making efficiency projects work when resources are constrained
- Agree what will be standardised in industrial energy efficiency projects and what will not.
- Set out how exceptions to efficiency projects are requested and approved.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in industrial energy efficiency projects.
- Arrange the handover of efficiency projects so capability survives staff changes.
Session 2Keeping industrial energy efficiency projects alive after the initial push
- Identify the data already collected that bears on industrial energy efficiency projects.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for efficiency projects.
- Estimate industrial energy efficiency projects using two independent methods and reconcile the difference.
- Agree the escalation threshold for efficiency projects in advance.
Efficiency projects: scope definition and exclusions
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Estimating efficiency projects without anchoring on the answer wanted
- Compare resource demand from industrial energy efficiency projects against other commitments.
- Write the scope statement for efficiency projects including explicit exclusions.

- Map stakeholders of efficiency projects by influence and current level of support.
Session 2Building a schedule for efficiency projects with a real critical path

- Define how the benefit from efficiency projects will be measured after closure.
- Name a single owner for each element of industrial energy efficiency projects.
- Define acceptance criteria for each deliverable of efficiency projects.
