Why This Course Is Essential

Risk-based TTM, anchored by the NZGTTM, is fast evolving and increasingly established in contractual environments. For project managers overseeing activity involving TTM, mastering this new approach is critical for safeguarding workers and road users while optimising project efficiency and controlling costs.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is designed for project managers, construction and infrastructure supervisors, and other decision-makers who include TTM as part of broader project oversight. It is specifically for those responsible for tendering, procurement, contract management, and work methodology, rather than for technical TTM practitioners.

Why This Matters

Effective project oversight requires a focus on the safety outcomes TTM offers, and a disiplined approach to commercial and project outcomes. By learning practical, scenario-driven techniques for risk assessment, procurement evaluation, contract management, and assurance, managers can drive tangible improvements in safety outcomes and operational performance where TTM is involved.

Learning Objectives

• Comprehend the origins, evolution, and materialisation of TTM risks in real projects.
•  Apply context-specific decision making across tendering, procurement, work methodology, and contract management.
•  Implement practical tools for recording, reviewing, and assuring TTM control measures.
•  Bridge the gap between technical TTM risk management and high-level project oversight.

Course Content Overview

The one-day workshop is divided into five modules, each driven by hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios:

• Module 1 – Risk Management: Fundamentals of risk identification, analysis, and oversight responsibilities.
• Module 2 – Tendering, Procurement & Contracting: Techniques to assess and engage with risk-based TTM requirements during the early phases of project design.
• Module 3 – Work Methodology: Integrating dynamic TTM solutions into project design and iterative planning.
• Module 4 – Contract Management: Evaluating cost drivers and managing contractual adjustments to align TTM measures with project risks.
• Module 5 – Assurance: Methods for documenting and monitoring TTM performance to ensure that control measures remain effective.

Practical Takeaways

Participants will receive a five-page project managers’ workbook summarising each module’s key points, decision models, and case studies. The course emphasises interactive group challenges, individual micro-assessments, and scenario-based exercises so that participants can immediately apply new skills on their projects.
