<h2>Work Breakdown Structures: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>It's amazing how often project managers begin the project planning process by making an outlined list of every task they believe will be required to complete a project and then proclaim they have created the work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project. The result is a list of hundreds, or even thousands of tasks, many of them having durations of a few days or a few hours.</p>
 <p>Essentially, what they have done is create a 'to do' list, which they then use as a 'checklist' to measure progress. This approach leads to, and even encourages, micromanagement of the resources working on the project without consideration of more critical aspects of project management such as: requirements management, risk management, procurement management, estimating, scheduling, executing, and controlling. Further, it makes it impossible to see the big picture, at levels of detail, in keeping with the needs of sponsors, clients, project and functional managers, team leaders, and project performers.</p>
 <p>Join us for this exciting program and learn how to use the WBS to make better-informed business decisions.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>

<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong></h2>
<p>In turbulent times for the entire Energy Sector, Oil &amp; Gas E &amp; P segments are coming under tremendous pressure to reinvigorate. Oil Majors like <em>Shell Plc</em> are no longer termed as Oil &amp; Gas Company but also branded as <em>SHELL Energy</em>, with technology at its forefront. The Risks, Scope and Context of Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning (EPCIC) Projects is evolving rapidly. Thus, the success of a project is dependent on the practical 'know how' in scoping, contract drafting, negotiation and execution competencies. Understanding the essential ingredients of contracts and mastering the international contracting principles will equip the participants to identify vague and ambiguous clauses, avoid dangerous and often hidden terms, and better understand the controlling position in a project.</p>
<p>In this 3 full-day course, the participants will find out how to negotiate legacy contracts where parties are not allowed to edit any clauses during the bidding process. The participants will learn from the Case Law Reports and analysis to take home lessons learned from bitter experiences of their peers in the industry. It is designed to help those who need a solution to manage current contractual issues or those who execute contracts regularly and want to be more proficient in managing their contracts and projects, with changing contexts.</p>
<p>The course is developed with the underlying objectives for the participants to:</p>
<ol><li>Enhance their current knowledge of the legal principles governing international Contracts from formation, execution to breaches, redresses and dispute resolution either as a party or as a consortium member or as a coverture.</li><li>Manage Consortium and Joint Venture Partners inter-relationship and contractual responsibilities.</li><li>Identify dangerous exposures due to joint and severally liable requirements of consortium-based contracts.</li><li>Effectively Manage Risks of Projects, with Enforceable Contract Documents, by learning the purpose and potential benefits of maintaining evidence in compliance to the contract clauses.</li><li>Learn the Contract Enforcement Nuggets of Owners and the Variation Claims Strategies of the Contractors.</li><li>Allocation of contract management related roles / assignments and WBS within consortium partners for effective project management and profitable results.</li><li>Use of Contract Terms &amp; Conditions for enhancing project performance, monitoring, reporting, and achieving timely completion, thereby avoiding delays and disputes.</li></ol>
<p>This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format.</p>

She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character&rsquo;s life and be swept into the narrative as if she&rsquo;s been there all along. She&rsquo;s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She&rsquo;s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she&rsquo;d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">In non-fiction, she&rsquo;s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you&rsquo;d never thought you would be. She&rsquo;d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">She&rsquo;s not currently taking on YA, children&rsquo;s, fantasy or science fiction projects.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;</strong></p><p id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(<em style="box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box;">In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

There is often very little appreciation and understanding of the complexities of managing today's mission-critical data centers where downtime is not an option, especially since many of the data centers are operating at, or near, their design limits. Operations management at the facilities layer makes all the difference. Even a data center designed to the highest redundancy level as per the ANSI/TIA-942 standard could still experience many unscheduled downtime events due to poor planning, operations, maintenance and management processes.</p></div><div id="course-pills-2"><h4>Service Level Management</h4><ul><li>Service Level Management</li><li>Needs analysis</li><li>Capability assessment</li><li>Service portfolio</li><li>Service catalogue</li><li>Service Level Agreements (SLAs)</li><li>Availability measurement</li><li>Data points in SLA</li><li>Service reporting</li><li>Complaint procedure</li><li>Customer satisfaction measurement</li><li>Service Improvement Process (SIP)</li><li>SLA content</li></ul><h4>The Data Center Organization</h4><ul><li>Operational issues</li><li>Organization chart</li><li>Roles and responsibilities</li><li>Skills matrix</li><li>Contingency / backup roles</li><li>Shift management</li><li>Performance management</li><li>Career development</li><li>Training and assessment</li><li>Job rotation</li><li>Succession planning</li><li>Disciplinary program</li></ul><h4>Managing Safety &amp; Statutory Requirements</h4><ul><li>Safety policies and regulations</li><li>Occupational Health and Safety (OH&amp;S)</li><li>Safety awareness training</li><li>Permit to Work (PTW)</li><li>Lock-out / Tag-out</li><li>Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)</li><li>Testing and tagging of equipment</li><li>Emergency preparedness and response</li><li>Reporting of safety issues</li><li>Reviews / internal audit / external audit</li></ul><h4>Managing Physical Security</h4><ul><li>Security policies and procedures</li><li>Security standards and guidelines</li><li>Security staff</li><li>Security awareness</li><li>Security incident management</li><li>Disciplinary program</li><li>Reviews, internal and external audits</li></ul><h4>Facilities Management</h4><ul><li>Maintenance policies and procedures</li><li>Various maintenance programs</li><li>Outsourcing of maintenance activities</li><li>Maintenance contract options</li><li>Warranty</li><li>Maintenance schedule</li><li>Service situations</li><li>Spart part management</li><li>Contamination control</li></ul><h4>Data Center Operations</h4><ul><li>Policies and procedures for data center operations</li><li>Service operations and the daily data center operations</li></ul><h4>Monitoring / Reporting / Control</h4><ul><li>Monitoring requirements</li><li>Escalation procedures</li><li>Reporting</li><li>Trend analysis</li><li>Reviews</li></ul><h4>Project Management</h4><ul><li>Project management</li><li>Project organization</li><li>Project manager</li><li>Project phases</li></ul><h4>Environment Sustainability</h4><ul><li>The importance of sustainability</li><li>Sustainability policies </li><li>Environmental management </li><li>Power efficiency indicators -</li><li>Waste management -</li><li>Water management</li><li>ICT utilisation management </li><li>Environmental performance measurements</li><li>Renewable energy factor (REF)</li></ul><h4>Organizational Resilience</h4><ul><li>Business continuity</li><li>Data center facility options</li><li>Business Impact Analysis</li><li>Type of facility</li><li>Human resources</li><li>Facility, equipment and consumables</li></ul><h4>Governance, Risk and Compliance</h4><ul><li>Management commitment</li><li>Coordination, collaboration and integration</li><li>Compliance</li><li>Risk management</li><li>Document management</li><li>Financial management</li><li>Vendor management</li><li>Asset management</li></ul></div><div id="course-pills-3"><h4>Additional course details:</h4><br /><p>Nexus Humans Certified Data Center Facilities Operations Manager (CDFOM) training program is a workshop that presents an invigorating mix of sessions, lessons, and masterclasses meticulously crafted to propel your learning expedition forward. </p><p></p> This immersive bootcamp-style experience boasts interactive lectures, hands-on labs, and collaborative hackathons, all strategically designed to fortify fundamental concepts. <p></p>Guided by seasoned coaches, each session offers priceless insights and practical skills crucial for honing your expertise.
