Planning Sustainable Water Resource Management Projects in Arid Regions
A senior-level treatment of sustainable water resource projects, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Projects involving sustainable water resource projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Stakeholders withdraw support for resource projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the practice within project and portfolio delivery and supervised application. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for sustainable water resource projects, not for observers of it. The professional literature on this strand of project and portfolio delivery converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Improvement in resource projects stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The course sets out a working method for sustainable water resource projects that participants can apply the week they return. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting resource projects, ready to be adapted internally. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
