This two day course will enable maritime professionals to recognise and manage changes within their organisation.
Overview
In today's dynamic marine environment, being able to (successfully) create and implement the necessary changes is considered vital. However, severe accidents have been caused by a failure to manage changes and improvements effectively.
It will assist in managing necessary changes more effectively to improve and optimise performance and reduce (the risk of) incidents involving damage to life, vessels, cargo and the environment.
