<h2><strong>About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)</strong></h2>
<p>This <strong>4 half-day Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course</strong> presents the principles and best practices of portfolio management in the upstream (E&amp;P) oil and gas industry. The VILT course is equally valuable for small independents, large integrated international companies and national oil companies.</p>
<p>The VILT course consists of presentations, case studies, illustrative practical exercises and syndicate discussions. Particular emphasis is given to pragmatic portfolio management approaches and solutions which can be implemented swiftly without recourse to major investments in planning and portfolio management software. The VILT course will draw on examples from your expert course leader's 35+ years' experience in the oil and gas industry as an explorationist, upstream vice-president and management consultant. The VILT course handout will comprise softcopy slides used in the presentation and a softcopy workbook for the exercises.</p>
<p>Participants will <strong>gain proficiency in portfolio management techniques, understand how and why to undertake this activity and be able to apply key concepts directly</strong> in the business of their teams / divisions.</p>
<p>The VILT course will be presented over 4 half-days, using Microsoft Teams or Zoom and a proprietary set of VILT tools. Participants will be asked to complete a pre course questionnaire (PCQ) addressing their objectives and experience, and attend a session to familiarise themselves with VILT tools before course commencement.</p>
