This training is delivered as part of the BRIDGE project and is open to staff and elected members from East Border Region and Irish Central Border Area Network member councils. If you’re unsure whether your organisation is eligible, please check our website for further information.

What will I learn?

This workshop prepares participants to manage uncertainty across a project’s full life cycle, from approval through to completion. It covers risk registers, assurance frameworks, internal audit, procurement and construction risk, plus the pressures of inflation and cost escalation. Participants will see how risk, performance and governance work together to keep projects on track.

How will it be delivered?

Through practical discussion, participants will explore recognised risk management techniques, project controls and internal governance structures. They’ll learn how to monitor performance and spot early warning signs of underperformance, and pick up practical guidance on what to do, and what to avoid, when things start to go wrong.

What will I get out of it?

By the end of the session, participants can identify and manage strategic, financial, operational and programme risks. They’ll develop and interpret risk registers, and apply benefits management and post-project evaluation principles to strengthen organisational resilience.
