Course Overview

Most recovery effort on marine ecosystem conservation projects is spent on problems that were visible early. Stakeholders withdraw support for conservation projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. They leave able to brief senior management on this strand of project and portfolio delivery in terms that support a decision. Buying a tool rarely fixes marine ecosystem conservation projects; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the project and portfolio delivery capability hard in practice. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for conservation projects. The course sets out a working method for marine ecosystem conservation projects that participants can apply the week they return. Where conservation projects is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within project and portfolio delivery that would make a visible difference.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Track progress on marine ecosystem conservation projects by earned value rather than by activity completed.

02

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

03

Build a concise delivery plan for marine ecosystem conservation projects that colleagues can follow without further explanation.

04

Define the scope of conservation projects precisely, including what is explicitly excluded.

05

Assess the current state of marine ecosystem conservation projects against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.

06

Design a practical operating method for conservation projects that fits the organisation's size and maturity.

07

Plan handover and benefit realisation for marine ecosystem conservation projects.

Course Modules

01

Marine ecosystem conservation projects: risk identification, quantification and ownership

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making marine ecosystem conservation projects work when resources are constrained

  • Confirm that reporting on marine ecosystem conservation projects reaches the people who can act.
  • Define the trigger that would require conservation projects to be redesigned.
  • Set out the decisions in marine ecosystem conservation projects that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Map stakeholders of conservation projects by influence and current level of support.

Session 2The cost of conservation projects and how to present it

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of marine ecosystem conservation projects before proposing changes.
  • Manage supplier performance on conservation projects against contract, not goodwill.
  • Agree the escalation threshold for marine ecosystem conservation projects in advance.
  • Review at each gate whether conservation projects should continue at all.
02

Conservation projects: change control and variation

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Keeping stakeholders of conservation projects genuinely supportive

  • Measure progress on marine ecosystem conservation projects by value earned, not tasks ticked.
  • Check that conservation projects still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to marine ecosystem conservation projects.
  • Build the work breakdown for conservation projects to a level that can be estimated.

Session 2Estimating conservation projects without anchoring on the answer wanted

  • Register the risks to marine ecosystem conservation projects with owner, probability and impact.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether conservation projects is improving.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on marine ecosystem conservation projects.
  • Write the scope statement for conservation projects including explicit exclusions.
03

Conservation projects: schedule, critical path and realistic duration

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The risks to conservation projects nobody wants to raise

  • Identify the critical path through marine ecosystem conservation projects and the float elsewhere.
  • Agree the smallest change to conservation projects that would be visibly useful.
  • Build reporting on marine ecosystem conservation projects that surfaces problems while they are small.
  • Test the procedure for conservation projects against a realistic scenario.

Session 2Building lasting competence in marine ecosystem conservation projects

  • Estimate marine ecosystem conservation projects using two independent methods and reconcile the difference.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in conservation projects.
  • Archive the decision record for marine ecosystem conservation projects so successors understand it.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when conservation projects underperforms.
04

Conservation projects: procurement, contracts and suppliers

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Measuring progress on conservation projects honestly

  • Define how the benefit from marine ecosystem conservation projects will be measured after closure.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of conservation projects current.
  • Estimate the resource marine ecosystem conservation projects requires to run as designed.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates conservation projects is under control.

Session 2Managing suppliers delivering part of conservation projects

  • Prepare the recovery plan for marine ecosystem conservation projects before it is needed.
  • Define acceptance criteria for each deliverable of conservation projects.
  • Close out actions on marine ecosystem conservation projects rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Compare resource demand from conservation projects against other commitments.
