All Dates & LocationsThis training seminar emphasizes the significance of appraising projects in terms of viability, feasibility, and associated risks. When an organization seeks a solution to a business problem or opportunity, it must plan and develop a project that effectively implements this solution. At various points throughout the project lifecycle, the organization needs to conduct a thorough project appraisal to ensure alignment with strategic goals, achievement of objectives, and resolution of the identified problem. Additionally, the organization must understand all risks that may impact both the organization and the project itself. In this context, project appraisal serves as a crucial process for analyzing, approving, or terminating projects.
Project management heavily emphasizes project risk management; the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats, and optimize outcomes is essential. Often, risk management is treated as a reactive process or, worse, neglected entirely. This course explores a proactive approach to both aspects of risk: threats and opportunities, founded on a clear understanding of both qualitative and quantitative methods of project risk management.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Understand projects from a strategic perspective: Participants will learn how project appraisal plays a vital role in achieving the organization’s strategic goals.
