Course Overview

Projects succeed not only by meeting scope, time, and budget but also by adhering to ethical, legal, and governance standards. Weak governance and compliance expose organizations to financial loss, reputational damage, and project failure. Effective project governance ensures clear decision-making, stakeholder alignment, and risk oversight, while compliance safeguards adherence to internal and external standards.

This ten-day course from EuroQuest International Training explores governance models, compliance frameworks, ethical responsibilities, and risk management practices in project contexts. It integrates foresight tools and global best practices to prepare professionals to lead projects with integrity, transparency, and regulatory discipline.
