IPA Institute - Megaprojects: Concepts, Strategies, and Practices for Success July 17, 2012

Megaprojects - Concepts, Strategies, and Practices for Success is a 3-day training program based on IPA’s ongoing megaproject research that seeks to reduce the high incidence of failure in megaprojects. The course materials are derived from more than 300 megaprojects contained in IPA’s proprietary Megaproject Database. These megaprojects represent an average cost of $3.5 billion (in 2010 terms) and over 80 sponsor organizations. Data for these megaprojects are gathered through interviews with project teams as part of IPA’s Project Evaluation System (PES®). Each megaproject is characterized by over 3,000 project attributes that enable IPA to perform detailed analyses regarding the project phases, project management practices, and performance. Formerly known as Executing Successful Complex / Megaprojects, the course has been completely revamped to include the most current IPA data and research on megaprojects. Megaprojects - Concepts, Strategies, and Practices for Success is officially registered with PMI, which allows attendees to easily claim 22 PDUs upon completion of the course.
