Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

To provide participants with a ‘toolkit’ of management skills and the opportunity to apply these to a variety of resource cases.
Although some mention will be made of techniques used in control (monitoring and evaluation) and operations management, the main thrust of the course is directed towards planning and decision-making aids and participants’ expertise in these will be developed through the involvement in contrasting case workshops of current resource management issues.
