Megaprojects – Concepts, Strategies, and Practices for Success is based on IPA’s ongoing research that seeks to reduce the high incidence of failure in megaprojects. The course materials are derived from more than 300 megaprojects contained in IPA’s proprietary Megaproject Database, representing over 80 sponsor organizations and with an average cost of $3.5 billion (in 2010 terms). All participants receive one copy of the new megaprojects book written by Edward Merrow.
Project Management Best Practices focuses on the key aspects of project planning and execution: the critical Front-End Loading (FEL) phase; elements of contracting strategy, key components of team effectiveness, implementing Value Improving Practices (VIPs); identifying and managing project risks, drivers of improved construction safety, activities needed for controlling a project through execution; and managing change.
The IPA Institute offers early registration discounts (10% off when registering one month in advance) and group discounts (25% off every fourth registration from the same company for the same course). Pricing varies per course.
