13 May – Yinka Shinbare MBE RA - Centre of African Studies 50th Anniversary Lecture, SOAS, London

ImageThe Centre of African Studies is honoured to welcome the renowned artist Yinka Shonibare MBE RA to deliver our annual lecture, marking the 50th anniversary of the largest centre of expertise on Africa outside Africa.

Over the past decade, Shonibare has become well known for his exploration of colonialism and post-colonialism within the contemporary context of globalisation. Shonibare’s work explores these issues, alongside those of race and class, through the media of painting, sculpture, photography and, more recently, film and performance. Using this wide range of media, Shonibare examines in particular the construction of identity and tangled interrelationship between Africa and Europe and their respective economic and political histories. Mixing Western art history and literature, he asks what constitutes our collective contemporary identity today. Having described himself as a ‘post-colonial’ hybrid, Shonibare questions the meaning of cultural and national definitions.

Yinka Shonibare MBE RA was born in London and moved to Lagos, Nigeria at the age of three. He returned to London to study Fine Art first at Byam Shaw College of Art (now Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design) and then at Goldsmiths College, where he received his MFA, graduating as part of the ‘Young British Artists’ generation. He currently lives and works in the East End of London.

With experts looking at Africa as "the last frontier" and with an emphasis on the close bond between financial transactions and economic activity, the Africa banking & finance sector must now more than ever position itself to play a key role in supporting the unprecedented economic growth the continent is witnessing.

But what opportunities and challenges does this new landscape present? How is the financial services industry responding to these new consumer habits, concerns and expectations?

The 5th edition of the Africa Banking & Finance Conference scheduled to be held in Nairobi Kenya on the 19-20 May 2015 provides a great platform that will support industry players as they innovate the next generation solutions that will meet the increasingly complex needs of corporate, consumer bankers and financiers and create the conditions that will enable a more regionally harmonized footprint for their institution which, if achieved, will propel the industry to the next level of success.

8-12 June - Project Scheduling, Risk Analysis and Cost Control, Johannesburg, South Africa

ImageIn an increasingly asset-intensive industry, failure isn’t an option. Investment dollars must absolutely deliver on expectations. Environmental factors, market shifts, unforeseen engineering challenges, improper planning, overly optimistic goals, skilled talent issues, and a host of innumerable pitfalls and risks all have the potential to push ambitious efforts off schedule, over budget, and potentially offline. How then do organisations prevent scheduling errors, define risk analysis and develop solid cost controls to ensure on time delivery and projects remain in scope? They do this through understanding best practice methods and learning in a safe environment before they execute in the field, regardless of industry or trade.

This workshop will prepare you to be proactive instead of reactive to project risks and scheduling issues. You will learn cost control modelling through proven best practice methods and case studies. As a group you will learn how to manage complex schedules, integrated master schedule plans and how to perform schedule analysis to determine critical path and critical chain processes. Throughout the 5 days you will master project scheduling, cost analysis and cost control. This foundation will lead to ways and methods of project monitoring and cost controls that can be used upon your return to the office. You will leave knowing you have the latest techniques to define, deliver and execute the project controls in your organisation.

Key Learning Objectives

 

  • Learn best practice Project Scheduling tools and techniques
  • Get exposed to different processes for schedule development and control
  • Develop, understand and define risk analysis strategies for your organisation
  • Construct detailed risk models and scenarios to see where risks lie
  • Learn how to manage complex scheduling and cost controls
  • Leverage probabilistic cash flow analysis both at the project level and across projects —taking into consideration the risk and uncertainty of the projects—to help identify possible areas of over and under allocation
  • Explore case studies from your industry and others so you can learn new approaches to solving cost control problems
  • Pose what-if scenarios, enabling stakeholders to see in real terms how even a slight contingency will affect the project and how different responses will affect the budget and schedule
