This conference will emphasize awareness of project risk management to minimize project cost/schedule overruns & improve project execution. Project management is all about the management of risks; the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats, and optimize results. However, risk management is too often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all. In this Project Risk Management conference, you’ll work through the proactive approach to both sides of risk: threats and opportunities. The approach is based on a clear understanding of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk management.
Effective internal communications help colleagues to work to the best of their abilities and to develop their skills to ensure everyone is focused on achieving an organization’s goals. Organizations are only as good as their weakest link. Poor customer service could spoil the work of expensive advertising and marketing campaigns. Employees are also front line ambassadors for organizations and should be nurtured as a powerful tool for recommendations and referrals. A good internal communications strategy promotes well being and productivity and makes people feel valued. Research shows that job satisfaction rather than financial reward is often a stronger motivation for loyalty. This conference shows how to develop a dynamic corporate culture, how to manage change, and how to bring the best out of the people with whom you work.

Climate change has taken center-stage as the pre-eminent global environmental challenge of the 21st century. Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change has, as a result, become a principal objective of business. Delivering these cuts efficiently has led to over 40 governments at regional, national, and international levels to develop carbon trading regimes. The essential implication of carbon trading is that an organization’s climate change strategies are increasingly important in limiting exposure to financial and legal risks. The broader implication of carbon-trading is that increasingly it pays companies to invest in developing a climate change and emissions trading strategy that ensures these risks are limited and that any potential opportunities that arise from emissions trading are fully exploited
