Course Overview
Stakeholders withdraw support for emergency and reconstruction projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. A schedule for reconstruction projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Participants test their assumptions about this aspect of project and portfolio delivery against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in emergency and reconstruction projects, not around theory headings. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the project and portfolio delivery capability is rarely technical. It is designed for mixed groups, so that reconstruction projects is examined from more than one functional angle. What blocks progress on emergency and reconstruction projects is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of reconstruction projects to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this area of project and portfolio delivery broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
