Introduction
This Project Appraisal and Risk Management training course develops the capabilities required to evaluate proposed projects, assess their strategic and financial viability and manage the risks that can affect successful delivery. Sound project decisions require more than estimating costs and expected benefits. Decision-makers need to understand strategic alignment, governance, funding, economic feasibility, uncertainty and risk before committing organisational resources.
The training course integrates project appraisal with financial evaluation and structured risk management. Participants will examine business cases, project selection, cost and cash-flow analysis, financing options, investment appraisal and alternative project-delivery models. They will then apply a systematic risk-management process covering identification, assessment, response planning, implementation and review. Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), funding solutions and project governance are also considered to provide a comprehensive framework for making better-informed project investment and delivery decisions.
This Project Appraisal and Risk Management training course will highlight:
- Aligning project selection with organisational strategy
- Developing and evaluating robust project business cases
- Assessing project costs, cash flows and economic viability
- Evaluating financing and alternative project-delivery approaches
