Trainer - Alan Mills

I'm Interested in MasterClass

Course Overview

  • This one-day Manager-level programme introduces the leadership, governance and decision-making principles required to deliver effective Systems Completion, Commissioning and Start-Up on complex, major capital projects.
  • It is designed for managers and senior project personnel who need to understand how early decisions, systemization, progressive completion, interdisciplinary leadership, resource strategy and readiness management directly influence safety, operability, schedule and business performance.
  • The content is based on the MasterClass CSU Manager course, normally delivered as a 3-day / 18-hour programme focused on leadership accountability rather than procedural execution.
