Spectacular losses, corporate collapses, near misses, and major fraud and corruption scandals in recent years have focused the minds of company directors, owners, and regulators on failures in Corporate Responsibility, Corporate Governance, and the widespread existence of corporate fraud and corruption. This includes everything from bribery to misuse of expenditure, kickbacks, conflicts of interests, false reporting and abuse of trust.

This event will consist of three presentations considering the treatment of Corruption, Fraud and Risk Management. These presentations represent leading edge perspectives in this important area and will provide you with a chance to compare against your own experience.

Innovation, opportunity, risk and value management studies are about programme reviews undertaken by teams comprising experts and stakeholders using a range of tools, particularly methods that focus on functions, strategies, cost and budget.

Value, Opportunity and Innovation are:

  • Philosophy - A philosophy to managing strategies, programmes, processes and projects focused on a holistic view of balancing performance and resource needs
  • Tools - A set of tools and techniques applied by qualified practitioners aimed at performance improvement and benefits realisation
  • Inclusion and Collaboration - An approach to managing which is inclusive and takes account of stakeholder needs and helps those stakeholders make informed investment decisions
  • Functional - An approach which focuses on functional performance as a way of describing process or project benefits capable of making complexity simple and invaluable
  • Non Tangible Performance Factors - Good at capturing non tangible as well as tangible project benefits, such as sustainability, durability and maintainability considerations
  • Purely focused on cost cutting
  • Limited to projects or construction
