Tailored Workshops

Align stakeholders, generate insights, and improve performance

IPA facilitates workshops to enable effective discussions on critical project-specific topics at any point in the capital project life cycle. These workshops are designed to be highly collaborative and result in organizations achieving alignment on common goals, and identifying key activities, tools, and templates to effectively carry the project forward.

Front-End Loading (FEL) Workshop

Establish a Robust Plan for Developing a Well-Defined Project

IPA research has shown that Front-End Loading (FEL), or project definition, is one of the most significant drivers of project success. The FEL Workshop helps organizations develop well-defined projects that cost less, take less time to execute, and operate better.

New Technology Commercialization Workshop

Establish the Foundation for Delivering Successful New Technology Projects

New technology commercialization projects take longer to start up, require more contingency, and often take longer to reach steady operation than projects using proven technologies. The New Technology Commercialization Workshop is a highly collaborative session to help organizations quickly ramp up their knowledge in this area specific to their project and technology, and establish the foundation for delivering innovative technology on a large scale in the most commercially economic fashion.

Contracting Strategy Workshop

Develop the Right Contracting Strategy to Achieve Your Project's Goals

IPA data show that problems with contracting strategies are often the root cause of project failure, resulting in months to years of schedule delays and millions in cost overruns. Owner project teams often lack the unbiased data and clear processes needed to guide contract strategy selection. The Contracting Strategy Workshop brings both IPA’s data and experience to assist your project team in designing a fit-for-purpose contracting strategy and implementation plan to set your project up for success.

Project Execution Planning Workshop

Develop a Project Execution Plan (PEP) that Provides a Roadmap for Success

IPA has observed that project execution planning quality has degraded over the last 10 years, resulting in eroding project performance. Project teams often lack the data and processes needed to develop a robust, project-specific project execution plan that reflects the actual execution strategy and drives improved capital project outcomes. The Project Execution Planning Workshop is a facilitated working session that guides the core project team through the process of developing a project execution plan to enable successful project delivery.

Business and Engineering Alignment Meeting (BEAM) Workshop

Build the Foundation for Effective Project Planning

IPA data show that alignment between business and project engineering is an essential precursor to achieving good and effective project definition or Front-End Loading (FEL), and driving more predictable and competitive project performance. Use the BEAM Workshop to align critical project stakeholders on business needs, objectives, and constraints to enable efficient and effective FEL.

Asset Optimization Workshop (AOW)

Convert Your Oil and Gas Resource Discoveries into Competitive, Cash-Flow Generating Assets

Developing oil and gas production projects that are optimally scoped, functionally aligned, and competitive is a challenge for many organizations. By bringing the business and project teams together, the Asset Optimization Workshop effectively steers a development project through FEL 2 (Select).

Project Risk Workshop

Identify and Address Project Uncertainty

Understanding potential project risks early in development is critical to delivering successful outcomes. By comparing your project to industry peers, the Project Risk Workshop gives an unmatched view into potential risks and aligns stakeholders on how to address the challenges that lie ahead.

Team Lessons Learned Workshop

Gain Insights to Drive Future Improvement

Learning from the successes and failures of previous projects is essential to drive project system improvement. Expedite this process with a Team Lessons Learned Workshop and rapidly generate project-specific insights and pave the way for project system improvement.
