Portfolio management is when the performance of the whole business is stressed over the performance of the projects. This can include a risk and reward analysis and often uses optimization and probabilistic analysis. This tool can be used for company 'disasters', such as any single event which results in a significant failure to meet company goals. Examples are failure or success of a very large project or the loss of key asset(s) due to political turmoil or a natural disaster.

Benchmarking Execution Performance and Earned ValueAcumen
Determining historic PV, BAC, EAC and other EVM measures in order to benchmark for future projects is a valuable technique for ensuring realistic and achievable forecasts. Determining historic EV performance using prior similar projects validates those forecasts. Additionally, the value of benchmarking increases exponentially as the benchmark basis improves. From previous iterations of the schedule to a database of thousands of projects, EVM indicators have a strong correlation with execution performance over time.
We work on projects to improve reliability. There may not be the field data immediately available. Let’s explore what you can do to improve the overall program while delivering on your project. Specifically, what’s with cost and procurement?
Detailed Information: As a reliability professional we often work with a team focused on improving the reliability of single product or system. We work with the resources and capabilities of the organization. For me a reliability project is one product or line, a program is the entire organization and lifecycle. We bring specific tools and knowledge, yet rely on the overall reliability culture of an organization to be successful
The overall reliability program may or may not have the field data, root cause analysis and other element of information that allow us to effectively solve problems for a specific project. In some cases we have to work to improve the overall program while striving to create a reliable product. Let’s explore what you should do when you are building a reliability model for a new project and would like to use previous reliability history.
If the data is not available what do you do? What are your options? Let’s discuss what happens when the procurement team consistently selects the least expensive and least reliable components. What are your options? You can and should change the way entire departments do business, for the good of the project and the organization. Let’s discuss the scope of your role as a reliability engineer.

The 8D (Eight Disciplines) approach is a systematic problem solving process. Popularized by Ford, the 8D process integrates best practices from various problem-solving methods and is now a standard in the automotive industry. The 8D problem solving process has proven to be highly effective in product and process improvement.
Following the logic of the PDCA cycle, the 8D process enables problem solving teams to identify root causes, develop proper actions to eliminate root causes, and implement permanent corrective action to prevent recurrence. It includes key analytical tools such as Is/Is Not Analysis and Root Cause Analysis using 5 Whys and the Fishbone Diagram.
This highly detailed training presentation will help you to teach employees in your company or organization to better understand team dynamics and solve problems using a disciplined approach.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Acquire knowledge of key concepts and principles in 8D problem solving.
2. Understand team-based problem solving dynamics and define roles within the 8D problem-solving team.

What is the RISk?
A problem that can endanger the success of the project. It causes losses.
It can have a negative influence over the cost, planning and the quality of the project and for the team.
The Risk Management indetifies, addresses and solves the risk problems before they damage the project.
We can absorb the risk without allowing the avoiding of any measure (action) or to eliminate them
RISk types
Incertitude – it strikes us exactly what we dont's know
Dependences – of the external factors
Request issues – we build the right product wrong or the wrong product
Management problems – makes the project harder to succeed
Lack of knowledge – drives to trainings, hiring more apropiate people
RISk Management
Apreciating the risk – identifying the potential risk zones
Identifying the risk – verifies the previewsly identified risks databases
Analizing the risk– verifies the outcoming of the project in accordance with the risk variables
The risk priority– focuses on the most severe risks
Avoiding the risk
Control the risk– it's the process of management of the risk
Keeping data about the risk– monitoring and solving each risk problem
Concluzions
From these articles we learned a few basic rules of how to better plan and develop a project and 14 good lessons about how to become a good manager
A manager is put to help people do their job better. They have to create good working conditions for the employees in order to do the job in time
We have to pay attention to the risk problems that may occur and to take the right measures to solve them

Project Controls Expo 18th Nov 2014 - "Cost Estimate Risk Analysis: For Capit...Project Controls Expo
Once a project or a turnaround team has developed a cost estimate, they are usually required to assign an accuracy range to the estimate and calculate the contingency. Some teams take a simplistic view that if the design package has been developed to a certain standard or class, then the accuracy range can be assigned according to common rules of thumb. However, this route can bypass the requirement to calculate contingency, and it looks at only the “systemic” uncertainty in the estimate, while ignoring any “project specific” uncertainty and risk. In addition, copious evidence over the past 30 years shows that, if left unguided, teams are generally over-optimistic and hence under-estimate the contingency required and assign too tight an accuracy range. If we look at the common methodologies used by teams, there are a number of common misconceptions and errors that contribute to this under-estimation.

Let It Flow: Using Flow Metrics to Combat Cognitive OverloadTasktop
Do conflicting priorities and interruptions disrupt your week? Is your calendar crammed with back-to-back meetings? If you are already overloaded and continue to take on more work, it’s likely you’re stressed. Stress impacts cognitive functioning - making it onerous to focus on and complete important work. While cognitive overload is difficult to measure, the impact is huge.
How can the impacts of stress be measured--and communicated? In this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Principal Flow Advisor, Dominica DeGrandis, presents actionable takeaways to address cognitive overload including:
- How to enable discussion for improvements using Flow Distribution and Flow Load
- How to allocate capacity for debt work by initiating “Flow Protection Time”
- How to put conditions in place for data-driven experimentation

no reimburse ment if it is not awarded the contract. The sum of the probabilities for
outcomes for each project must equal one (for Project 1, 20 percent plus 80 percent) .
Probabilities are normally determined based on expert judgme nt. Cliff or other people
in his firm should have some sense of their likelihood of winning certain projects.
Figure 11-7 also shows probabilities and outcomes for Project 2. Suppose there is a
20 percent probability that Cliffs firm will lose $ 50,000 on Project 2, a 10 percent probabili-
ty that it will lose $20,000, and a 70 percent probability that it will earn $60,000. Again,
experts would ne ed to estimate these dollar amounts and probabilities.
To calculate the expected monetary value (EJvfV) for each proj ect, multiply the proba-
bility by the outcome value (or each potential outcome for each project and sum the results.
To calculate expected monetary value for Project 1, going from left to right, multiply the
probability by the outcome for each branch and sum the results. In this example, the EMV
for Proj ect 1 is $28, 000.
.2($300 ,000) + .8( -$40 ,000) = $60,000- $32,000 = $28 ,000
The EMV for Project 2 is $30,000 .
.2 ( -$50 ,000 ) + .1(-$20 ,000) + .7($60,000) = -$1 0 ,000-$2 ,000 + .$42,000
= $30,000
Beca use the EMV provides an estimate for the total dollar value of a decision , you wa nt
to have a pos itive number; the higher the EMV, the bette r. Since the EJvfV is positive for
both Projects 1 and 2 , Clift"s firm would expec t a positive outcome from eac h and could bid
0n both proj ects. If it had to choose between the two proj ects , perhaps because of limited
resources , Clift"s firm should bid on Project 2 because it has a higher EMV.

Similar to Disaster Insurance Using Portfolio Management Techniques (20)
The question of when is an opportunity a “good investment” versus a “bad gamble” . . . and how can you tell the difference is a tough one. Why should companies aspire to deliver predictable results? What are the trade-offs? Predictability versus Growth? How can companies manage the trade-offs? Who in your company needs to manage these trade-offs (project level, business level, corporate level). We discuss these issues using a case study where a $5B company wants to grow as measured by production, reserves and earnings.
Leveraging the Option Value of Unconventional Resource ProjectsPortfolio Decisions
The option value is the difference between the intrinsic (stand-alone) value of an opportunity and the value that becomes available through alternatives. The application to unconventional resource plays is that they unique characteristics that may lead to increased option value potential. These include significant uncertainties (volatility), long time horizons, market liquidity, ownership options, and large up-front investment requirements. Here we share a case study on a resource development program.
Stochastic Analysis of Resource Plays: Maximizing Portfolio Value and Mitiga...Portfolio Decisions
This paper outlines a method for applying stochastic representations of key macro-economic parameters and risks in evaluating the portfolio value of resource plays. Stochastic pricing, costs forecasts, and regulatory uncertainties are often neglected or im-properly applied when evaluating what are typically considered to be ‘low risk’ resource opportunities. Portfolio allocation and project development timing may be critically dependent upon these macro-economic variables, particularly given the long production life and operationally intensive nature of many resource opportunities. These techniques will allow corporate planners and E&P executives to better leverage their opportunity inventory and ensure resource play development plans are in alignment with stochastic pricing or other macro-economic forecasts.
Business management essentials tell us that we need to know where we are, where we're going, act when necessary and anticipate uncertain outcomes. Described are methods for using portfolio management to answer these questions for a business to improve business performance.
Consistent Performance: Reducing the Impacts of Price Uncertainty Through Por...Portfolio Decisions
Determining the impacts of price uncertainty is relevant as the market expects and rewards consistent performance, or more specifically consistently good performance. These performance measures are often driven by product pricing. But, pricing may represent one of the most significant uncertainties for many producers.
Many, if not all portfolio managers spend a great deal of time worrying about the quality of their economic input data. These concerns cover the gamut from systemic over- or under-estimation, to project or region-specific bias, to simple sloppy and inconsistent data gathering. Many postpone initiating advanced decision-making techniques “until the data are in better shape”. However, investment decision data quality rarely improves substantially until that data starts being used consistently, systematically, and seriously. How then are we initiate use of advanced decision making techniques if we don’t trust the data? Business decisions are made every day, using the data that is available at the time. If we think of Portfolio Management and Optimization as techniques to improve the quality of our decisions, instead of as ways to find “the right answer”, we can begin to use these techniques to improve those decisions in spite of reservations we may have about the quality of data currently at hand. Once a system is in place and functioning, data quality improvement measures can start to take hold with sufficient feedback to guide the process.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Disaster Insurance Using Portfolio Management Techniques

Disaster Insurance Using Portfolio
Management Techniques

2. Define Portfolio Management
Definition #1: (A method to) “compare
the relative attractiveness of alternative
investments.”
Definition #2 : An application of
Markowitz’ 1952 “Portfolio Selection”
work to oil and gas investments.
SPE 82029
3. Define Portfolio Management
• Definition #3: A decision process that
seeks to address business problems by
manipulating and understanding the mix
and timing of projects undertaken
• Performance of the whole business is
stressed over performance of the projects.
• Can include risk - reward analysis
• Often uses optimization and probabilistic
analysis
SPE 82029
4. “Typical” Portfolio Analysis
Procedure
Define the
Company’s
goals
Describe the
Company’s
opportunities
“Optimize”
portfolio
selections to
meet the goals
Define
Operational
Constraints
Investigate
Risk/Reward,
Probabilities
SPE 82029
5. What do we mean by
“Disaster”?
• Any single event which results in a
significant failure to meet company
goals.
– Failure (or success?) of a very large
project (especially if it had a high chance of
success).
– Loss of a key asset due to political turmoil,
natural disaster, etc.
SPE 82029
7. So….
• We are investigating ways to :
– Alter the mix and timing of projects in
such a way as to – Find a slightly “less optimum” portfolio
which – Performs better in the case of a
feared failure
SPE 82029
8. The Expected Value Trap
• Expected Value of a project is the risk
weighted average of that project’s possible
outcomes.
• EV is a useful strategy tool if there are a
number of projects roughly similar in scope,
so that the EV is realized “on average”.
• If one project is much larger or vastly
dissimilar to the rest, care must be taken in
applying expected value techniques to it.
SPE 82029
13. The Expected Value Trap
• Base 100%
• Base 95%
– Mean-

– Mean
537
– Median-

– Median
536
– STD

– STD
80
SPE 82029
14. So…
• When evaluating at risk projects that are
large and unique, expected value
analysis does not adequately describe
the problem.
• Probabilistic analysis does indicate the
problem, but does little to indicate a
solution.
SPE 82029
15. Analysis steps: “Insure Against
Disaster”
• Near Term Project:
– Model the portfolio with the probability of
success of the problem project set to zero.
– Can the portfolio be reoptimized in the
remaining years to meet the goals?
– If yes, what options do we need to keep
open?
– If no, what projects do we need to add, or
which goals do we need to modify?
SPE 82029
17. Example Data
• Simplified portfolio- very course
granularity.
• Goals and Projects are fictitious.
• Examples are designed to illustrate a
procedure, not to address every
eventuality.
SPE 82029
31. How to “Insure Against
Disaster?”
• Medium Term Project:
– Model the portfolio with the probability of success
of the problem project set to zero.
– Can the portfolio be reoptimized point forward to
meet the goals?
– If no, can the entire portfolio be reoptimized to
meet the goals both with and without the project?
– If no, what fallback goals are acceptable? What is
the cost?
SPE 82029
38. Cost of Insurance
• Took more Shelf properties than
“Optimal”
• Laid off some of the Alaska and Deep
Water to pay for it.
• Result:
– NPV is $7 million lower
– Can recover quickly and retain more NPV if
failure occurs
SPE 82029
39. Finally
• This is an exercise in thinking about
your business plan using Portfolio
Management techniques, not in
simply “optimizing the portfolio”.
• “Gray Matter” is more critical than
the “Black Box”.
