RESILIENT MAINTENANCE LEADERSHIP & ADAPTIVE DECISION-MAKING FOR PLANT RELIABILITY
14 - 15 OCTOBER 2026
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme develops the leadership and decision-making skills needed to guide maintenance teams through uncertainty, competing priorities and equipment disruption. Participants practise risk assessment, scenario planning, cross-functional communication and decisive response methods that support safer recovery and stronger plant reliability. Practical examples and guided discussion help participants connect the subject to decisions and challenges in their own workplace.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Build a reliability culture that learns constructively from equipment failure.
- Lead maintenance teams through uncertainty, pressure and competing priorities.
