About this Training Course The industry is surrounded with examples of poor Turnarounds, which have injured people and damaged businesses. If Turnarounds are not properly planned, managed and controlled, companies run the risks of serious safety and budget penalties, costly schedule delays and negative impacts on customers. As a consequence, operators are starting to explore Turnaround best practices and establish a more robust methodology. Turnarounds are the highest risk activity that we routinely perform in the industry, but they are also an area of massive variability in approach and outcome. Central to the variability is a lack of written methodologies and training - there are around 1,000 times as many books on maintenance as there are on turnaround management. All too often companies see Turnarounds as something to be survived and therefore it is no surprise that most Turnarounds fail. This 4 full-day course is based upon the Carcharodon 'Best of the Best' model of excellence for shutdown management with inputs from people who have done it from the trenches along with some of the world's most experienced shutdown specialists. All this experience has been condensed into a core methodology - our blueprint for success. It converts Turnarounds from a high-risk nuisance to a business opportunity. It has been used on multiple sites around the world, has been the basis of two books and is also supplemented by a roadmap for building and controlling a successful Turnaround. This is a certificate course where participants will have the option to participate for a short exam on the final day of the course to gain a Certificate in Advanced Turnaround, Shutdown & Outage Management from petroEDGE and the Academy of Turnarounds Operations and Maintenance. The purpose of this course is to equip the participants on the use of the Model of Excellence for Turnarounds and the principles of Challenge Planning to equip attendees with an advanced approach to Turnaround Management. The course is backed by real situations, high levels of interaction, group exercises and multiple case studies. It will explore the underlying mechanisms and levers that shape a Turnaround to demonstrate why we sometimes succeed or fail and introduce new conceptual approaches that can increase our chances of succeeding. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, the participants will be able to: Position Turnarounds as part of an overall strategy of improving business performance. Build the best Turnaround team possible from available resources. Help senior management build effective steering teams. Reduce the downtime associated with turnarounds while simultaneously improving safety performance. Use the Model of Excellence to analyse their own performance, explain key principles to others and build a detailed methodology of their own. Maximise the benefits of planning and preparation through a proactive challenge planning process where the participants will build a Turnaround from the ground up from concept to execution and review. Target Audience This course has been researched and developed for Experienced Managers, Superintendents, Supervisors, Engineers, Planners, Team Leaders and Coordinators of: Shutdowns/Turnarounds Maintenance Engineering Reliability Plant Outage Asset Management Operations/Audit Safety Course Level Basic or Foundation Trainer Your expert course leader is a highly experienced facilitator in maintenance improvement, change management, continuous improvement and capability development as a management coach and trainer. He has a strong focus on people with an emphasis on developing people and the practicalities of improving maintenance performance rather than just the theory. He has worked internationally across Europe, America, the Middle East and Africa with extensive experience in Oil and Gas, the Chemicals sector and manufacturing as well as working with clients in Steel and Power Generation. As a result, he can bring best practice from a wide variety of sources. He spent the first fifteen years of his career as a specialist trainer working for companies such as Lloyds British Training Services and Rolls Royce. He then went on to work as a Principal consultant for ABB consulting for 15 years. During this time, he refined some of the established improvement tools including how and when to apply them for maximum impact whilst still continuing to develop and deliver training in support of this. Recent work has included improvements to the Work Order to Work Execution processes of Engineering departments and focused on Reliability, Planning and Scheduling. This ongoing field experience has helped him test and refine specialist training in a number of areas. He has been able to use his own experience to contribute with other maintenance specialists to the Carcharodon models of excellence. Its methodologies are recognised as 'Best of the Best' standards providing the inspiration for two books, projects that have won awards such as the prodigious UK Chemical Industries annual Excellence in Engineering award and form the basis of this training. He was recently awarded a national award as coach of the year. He uses the same skills to ensure that he does not just preach maintenance best practice, he discusses it, explains it and ensures that delegates have a much more personal and flexible experience.

Aspire Consulting and Training Ltd is indisputably at the forefront of Transformative Coachingworldwide. We have a commitment to prepare individuals as coaches to achieve sustainable change for the people around them, so that they are being developed and supporting many types of growth. Achieved through a process of heightening awareness and deepening learning, this differs from other coaching methodologies that employ a tactical or remedial approach more useful in trouble-shooting and problem solving.   As people pursue coach training, they want a program with high standard, proven methodology and worldwide recognition. The TAP-C™ Model is a globally delivered program that enhances professional coaching industry standards. Our certification training program offers a fresh, leading edge approach to enable authentic and deliberate change.   We offer the ultimate solution to maximise human capital. Businesses are expecting their managers to devote an ever-increasing portion of their time to coach others and this is a trend that will only continue to expand. The challenges have never been greater for achieving results through people, and coaching will remain a vital leadership skill for the decades to come. A proven strategy for creating sustained growth, coaching enables superior performance of individuals, teams, and whole organisations.    The TAP-C™ Model is not just a new methodology or trend; it is more of a tool that drives a positive change. It helps people gain clarifications through meaningful conversations. It promotes learning by stimulating people to think through about their situation and urges them to take initiatives. Coaching is all about making people realise what needs to be modified and offer them appropriate support to bring about a change.    "Coaching is about influencing individuals to make conscious, empowered decisions to become leaders in their own lives. It is a process that occurs in a special conversation that enables learning and development and thus improves performance. It is a way of working with people that leaves them more competent and more fulfilled so that they are more able to contribute and find meaning in what they are doing."   Jay Acharya   The TAP-C™ Model incorporates a blend of coaching, mentoring and counselling, that, although considered different, share some key characteristics and skills to always support positive outcomes.    Coaching involves the belief that the individual has the answers to their own problems within, and need the focus to unlock their own potential.  Mentoring is like coaching, with a general agreement that a mentor can partner in some way to help expedite any decision making.  Counselling is closer to a therapeutic intervention. Focusing on past situations and identify ways to overcome barriers, that may be internal or external.   Our TAP-C™ Model therefore truly incorporates what we know to be an Influencing and Empowered approach to Coaching in the following way: We will explore the supporting principles of a coach and the guiding principles of a mentor, by using practical methods to help you become more effective and confident.    The purpose of this training to improve your performance at the same time of improving other abilities and create a cultured and productive working atmosphere. The core objective of the course is to enable you to set and achieve organisational, departmental and personal goals, by communicating clearly with their teams, managing time more effectively and prioritising work so that achieving an organisational strategy is more of a fluid approach.   Aims and Objectives   The sessions focus on the theoretical aspects of empowering people in an organisation, by increasing the awareness of current competencies and abilities. The programme will meet all the objectives outlined below: Gain a greater understanding of organisational activities How the TAP-C™ Model can be used to develop a person and a team Establish how to know when to be a coach, mentor and councillor The behaviour’s of being a confident coach How to help a person recognise their strengths and developmental areas How to create and develop an empowered structured organisation
