Project Appraisal: Identification, Policy Analysis & Selection - Virtual Learning
The decision whether or not to invest a substantial amount in a new capital project is made with a lot of uncertainty. People involved in creating project proposals may have expertise in technical fields, but may also lack training to make a comprehensive analysis of whether their project really is the best idea to go forward with. Given that projects and capital expenditures often consume a significant part of the finances of the organisation, it is vital that those involved in them can make high quality objective decisions about which proposals are likely to have the best results, before commitments to development work and substantial expenditures are made.
This Project Appraisal: Identification, Policy Analysis & Selection training course covers the policy evaluation and strategic project analysis and selection techniques that are a critical part of this decision-making process and considers the quantifiable elements of projects as well as the dependencies and risk factors relating to them. Specific financial and risk analysis methodologies are addressed in subsequent course.
This Gulf Rowad training course will highlight:
The importance of strategic approach to thorough project identification, definition, planning and appraisal
The elements and practical applications of various planning and appraisal methods
Contemporary concepts of policy issues, strategic context and project decision analysis
Introduction to an integrated project appraisal, including strategic needs analysis, cost and time estimates, technical, environmental and social evaluation to drive a justifiable value for money decision
Tools and techniques of dealing with risk and uncertainty in project decisions
