Fundamental principles behind good management and comparison with legal requirements; social and ethical considerations on projects; understanding of stakeholders’ rights and responsibilities and how these will affect project management; brief overview of the contract law; potential liabilities associated with project participation; optimization of project team responsibilities, provision of legal power for effective management; optimum systems for project delivery/management under uncertain conditions; management of OH&S, environmental due diligence and other statutory liabilities; strategic business risks and implementation risks, concepts for optimization of project implementation structures to maximize conditions for successful project outcomes, fundamentals of project delivery systems, typical delivery systems, project alliance and integrated teams, performance-based project delivery methods.
Aims and Objectives:
- To gain a thorough understanding of the legal system under which contracts are formulated, executed and managed, with particular emphasis on projects and programs;
- To develop competency in the systematic analysis of strategic objectives/business case requirements vs. delivery objectives;
- To know how to identify, analyze and allocate/transfer significant implementation risks via contracts;
- To design and apply alternative delivery systems; and
- To study advanced delivery systems such as relationship contracting and alliance modes
The unit will cover:
1. Selection of optimum delivery system- Demonstrate competency in systematic evaluation of typical delivery options, with a view to utilization of the innovative features and promotion of performance-based contracting.
- Demonstrate competency in the optimum selection and application of a given project delivery system to meet specific business and project objectives, within a given management approach.
- Demonstrate competency in the analysis of delivery risks & mapping of these to project/program business case and objectives
- Demonstrate competency in prudent application of results from risk analysis to develop a framework for allocation of delivery risks & mapping desired contractual relationships as a guide to contracts formulation & management
- Demonstrate competency in development & implementation of typical delivery systems to achieve congruence of contractual and project/program objectives, focusing the energy & the intellect of the parties on locating best solutions for the project/program not on contract administration and conflicts resolution.
- Demonstrate competency in effective on-going administration of project/program delivery systems over project life, incl. effective change management, to ensure that project objectives will be met and liabilities managed.
NOTE: Intensive lecture sessions in each unit are followed by tutorial and case studies or project work sessions for deep learning outcomes. A knowledge assessment will be conducted for those participants wishing to obtain a Certificate of Attainment of a given unit of study.
