Management of Value (MoV®) Foundation: Virtual In-House Training
This interactive MoV® Foundation course provides a modular and case-study-driven approach to learning Management of Value (MoV). The core knowledge is structured and comprehensive; and well-rounded modules cover the methodology and various techniques. A case study is used to help appreciate the relevance of MoV in its practical application.
What you will Learn
Upon completion of an MoV course candidates should be able to discuss and explain:
The main processes and techniques used within MoV and the reasons for using them
How MoV may be applied at portfolio, program, project and operational levels
The differences in applying MoV at different stages in a project and the expected outputs from a MoV Study at each stage
The circumstances under which MoV should be used
The concept of value and how value may be improved
The main benefits arising from the use of MoV
Approaches for implementing MoV
How to respond to external and internal influences
The principles of embedding MoV into an organization
The key topics in document checklists, the toolbox, health check, organizational maturity and individual competence.
