feasibility study’s outcomes to aid towards solid decision-
making, you will benefit from attending. You will learn to

concurrent projects in a clear and objective manner. Those
who wish to learn practical skills to apply on feasibility
studies, will benefit from case studies and best practices
discussed. Those who are in positions where they are
required to review feasibility studies for further corporate
decision-making, will benefit from the presentation of
business process methods based on agile and lean theories
as additional resources together with traditional business
plan modelling.

COURSE OVERVIEW
The most important step of any new project regardless of its
size, is the one you take even before you begin. In today’s
business environment, feasibility studies are strategic
documents prepared and executed by managers who focus on
the best resource allocations and aim at consistently delivering
projects on target.
A feasibility study evaluates the practicability of a project, a
business venture or idea. The principal function is to find out if
the project will go ahead or not. Feasibility studies are strategic
for a number of reasons. They evaluate your project from
different points of view, to cover all the key aspects that you
must carefully consider before moving forward and committing
time and resources. They provide an improved understanding of
the project itself and contribute to make potential issues and
risks surface at an early stage before any damage has been
done. From the financial point of view, they underline the impact
on cash flow and the requirement for funding, and highlight the
burden on current resources and the need for additional
resources that you need to secure for your project to succeed.
Whatever the industry or market, the pressure on timing is ever
increasing, therefore by establishing a policy for feasibility
studies you will be able to help improve business performance in
the long term and streamline your focus on the most promising
projects. Due to the discussions of different theories and case
studies you will explore at the course, you will return to your
workplace with highly relevant skills and the knowledge to
determine and work through the process of a feasibility study in
your business environment.
COURSE METHODOLOGY
The course focuses on learning with practical exercises, so you
can develop your own individual style of planning, evaluating,
and presenting a feasibility study. The course will provide you

and contributions from all delegates to benefit from each other’s
experiences. You will participate in group discussions,
simulations, case studies and problem-solving exercises, and
