The course will be conducted face-to-face with participants who have some experience in handling a project.  It will be conducted in a lecture and workshop format to familiarise the participants on the concept of project value and value management.  Different project stakeholders view the value of the project differently.  The methodology to be taught would enable the participants to understand the aspects of project value and adopt a holistic mindset to appreciate the importance of harnessing a collective shared knowledge of the key project stakeholders’ expectations and requirements of the project and seeking consensus on an agreed set of project values that are aligned with the establishment’s strategic thrusts.
