20 & 27 February 2024 | 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM AEDT | Online
Training Overview
Ahead of the Curve: Innovative management of risks for robust PPP Contracts
Contract management within the realm of public-private partnerships (PPPs) is often overlooked, making it a frequently disregarded facet of PPP administration. In the dynamic landscape of PPPs, understanding and addressing risks within contracts is crucial for achieving project success.
Participants in this course will learn about public-private partnerships, often known as Design/Build/Finance/Operate (DBFO), from a risk perspective.
We will begin the journey by understanding what a PPP is, how it differs from other methods of project delivery, and how it is currently being used in Australia. Then, we will explore risk from an effective management and governance perspective, looking at tools to use and how that relates to PPP.
This course emphasises the importance of proactive risk mitigation in ensuring project success, financial stability, and stakeholder satisfaction. As a result, participants will be able to effectively manage and mitigate risk in the PPP framework, enabling it to be used more successfully and frequently.
