Course Description

INTRODUCTION

This GLOMACS Feasibility Analysis training course delivers a vital input to the development of leadership and management skills. Many organisations commit to a course of action that produces unsatisfactory results. This is almost always due to poor feasibility analysis before critical strategic and operational decisions are made. There is overwhelming evidence that project outcomes are much more likely to be achieved when a rigorous feasibility study has been carried out. Without accurate feasibility analysis as a multi-dimensional part of the first phase of decision-making resources can be wasted with resulting under-performance.

This training course is designed to introduce best practices in feasibility analysis to enable managers to achieve market-leading levels of competitive performance - resulting in sustained competitive excellence. Successful participation in this training course will allow experienced managers to enhance the performance of themselves and their teams in evaluating new ideas that will help to create a successful organisation of the future.

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
