Readiness is not something that simply happens near project completion, it is the result of deliberate Operational Readiness Planning built into the project from the start and carried through to full implementation. This training course gives participants a complete, practical grounding in planning and implementing operational readiness, connecting early planning decisions directly to real, successful transitions to operations.
Participants will strengthen their understanding of how to build a clear readiness roadmap that sequences activities across the project lifecycle, and will build practical competency in aligning readiness work with overall project execution. The course places strong emphasis on structured startup planning that reduces risk during commissioning and handover, and develops sound skills in establishing the governance needed to keep readiness activities accountable and on track.
