You are cordially invited to attend a seminar to examine proven practices in managing risk and readiness to drive your organization to deliver competitive and predictable projects and major turnarounds. These practices are vital in an environment of doing more with less, while meeting intensifying business objectives.

Brett Schroeder, co-founder and Managing Director of AP-Networks, will share his insights into the science of quantifying, managing, and balancing risks with readiness. He will unveil what separates the Best from the Average, and how the Best systemically identify and address the right issues that directly impact business performance. This is based on experience in reviewing and gathering data on hundreds of complex major capital projects across the world, including Alberta.

This is a complimentary invitation. We encourage you to extend it or forward it to others within your company. Vice Presidents, Directors, Managers and Leaders of the following functions will benefit from the seminar:

• Project Development
• Engineering
• Manufacturing and Production

• Learn about Risk and Readiness Management principles and methodologies
• Find out about the systemization of Risk and Readiness practices
• Understand the proportionate business balance between Risk and Readiness
• Ensure your projects have the right Readiness and Risk strategies
• Enable rapid deployment of Readiness and Risk techniques within your organization
• Achieve repeatable project and turnaround success

The current environment for executing capital projects is one of the most challenging in recent memory. The pressures to improve project performance have to be balanced against limited resources, skills and increasing costs. Data from the energy industry indicate that more than a third of all major projects were failures in meeting critical project objectives. Successful management of risk, and systemic front end project development practices, are the critical components for the delivery of predictable and competitive projects. The presentations will draw on the empirical analyses of a dataset of more than 900 projects and major turnarounds from industry. This seminar will provide participants with an overview of the lessons learned from those projects and the practices that drive superior performance. Further, the session will cover how these practices can be effectively and rapidly implemented within a project organization.
