THE TWO DAY DREDGING MANAGEMENT TRAINING
INTRODUCTION
Nigerian Dredging industry is fraught with high levels of inefficiency and incompetence which grossly hamper productivity, safety, quality of service and project delivery, and longevity of indigenous businesses. The lack of effective monitoring and feedback system on the side of corporate management has been identified as one of the limitations hindering successful achievement of dredging and maritime oriented projects. To arrest this pitiable situation, Dredgemarine Consult and Dredge Skills and Marine Training Centre Ltd designed this programme to add value to the management of dredging projects and begin the process of addressing the problems militating against the fortunes of enterprising Nigerians in the dredging sub-sector.
Monitoring and control in project management involve actively reviewing the status of the project as it proceeds, evaluating potential obstacles and implementing necessary changes to safeguard the objective and secure successful milestone deliveries. In other words, it involves:
- Managing necessary changes that may come up in the project
- Validating and controlling the scope of the project and time line
- Controlling project costs and quality of deliverables
- Controlling all teams and stakeholders communication, including procurement
- Controlling stakeholders engagement
However, in this training we shall focus on critical specific and practical monitoring elements which indeed will reduce or eliminate some of the barriers to projects progress and achievement. The training will serve as a tool of empowerment by which corporate management can remotely monitor the site performance from anywhere at a glance.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
Most of the failures being experienced in projects delivery are because of lackadaisical attitude of the management towards basic project issues. These eventually grow to wreck the projects. However, the central objective of this training is to create a new workplace culture for proactive full participation of corporate management in the day-to-day activities of dredging and maritime projects especially for starters with few fleet and few projects. It is also important for major and big time players. The expected results are as follows:
- Increase in production
- Proactive response to site maintenance and other issues
- Diesel usage maximization resulting in profitability
- Meeting project timelines, quality, cost and customers’/clients’ expectation
- On-time restocking of inventory like diesel, etc. to avoid unnecessary downtime
- Enhanced crew performance since they are aware of the management watch over them
- Creating the sense of ownership among the crew and risk reduction
TRAINING METHODOGY
The training course will utilize a variety of proven adult training techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes the use of Powerpoint presentations and discussions for the seminars. Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with experienced resource persons on specific issues to attain appropriate solutions. Specific goals of participants will be discussed to ensure that their needs are fulfilled.
TRAINING EVALUATION
Evaluation method for the course shall be in two phases involving:
- Phase 1: Enough time for interactive question and answer sessions based on different project scenarios experience d by the participants.
- Phase 2: This involves gauging the reaction from the participants regarding the performance of our trainers. To achieve this, a course evaluation form or questionnaire shall be administered to the trainees for the purpose of assessing of each of the trainers with respect to their knowledge in their subject area/course, their quality of delivery, the course contents and ability to disseminate knowledge, etc. This will help us to improve in our service delivery.
