Carve-Outs and Separations

Standing up a business that must run on Day 1 without its former parent is its own discipline. Learn separation planning, transition service agreements, and the stranded-cost problem that follows them. The course runs as guided self-study: narrated module videos, review questions after each module, a practitioner case study, and a final examination.  2.0 PMI PDUs (Ways of Working, Power Skills, Business Acumen), self-reported in PMI's CCRS as self-directed learning. What you will learn: • Explain how a carve-out differs from an integration and why it is often harder. • Build a separation plan that delivers a standalone business at Day 1. • Structure and manage transition service agreements (TSAs) as project dependencies. • Identify and manage stranded costs and dis-synergies. • Plan the standalone infrastructure (systems, functions, and contracts) a carved-out unit needs. • Govern a separation program and report progress to the deal team. Who should attend:  This self-study course is written for project managers and finance professionals, and for PMP and other PMI credential holders seeking PDUs.
