Thursday 22nd September 2011, 11:00 to 11:30 ”SIMULATING RISK CAN BE THE KEY TO OPTIMISING PROJECT SUCCESS” by Chris Rymer, Head of Professional Services ,Asta Development This presentation will look at how planners can improve their understanding of project risks so they can be better assessed, proactively managed and effectively communicated. It will also show how contract negotiations can be more successful by gaining confidence that you are covered where time and profit are concerned. Poor risk analysis is a common practice that will all too often prove fatal to a project’s success. Complex projects and heavily invested projects will carry greater risks, which leave an overwhelming responsibility with project planners to ensure their assessments are thorough and plenty. By attending this presentation you will learn how to:

Thursday 22nd September 2011, 11:30 to 12:00 ”MANAGEMENT OF LARGE SCALE PROJECTS, PROGAMS AND PORTFOLIOS IN RUSSIA” by Vladimir Liberzon, Spider Project Team This presentation will discuss proven methodologies, tools and techniques that are applied to planning and management of large scale projects, programs and portfolios in Russia and Eastern Europe.

Thursday 22nd September 2011, 12:00 to 12:30 ”THE ROAD MAP TO WORLD CLASS PROJECT CONTROLS” by Chris Carson, PSP, CCM, PMP, Corporate Director of Project Controls, Alpha Construction and Engineering Corporation and Planning Planet Senator and Chief U.S. Editor for the Accreditation Scheme The key to successful projects and programs and viable project management is a strong and effective project controls effort. This effort is the result of a structured approach to developing a planning and scheduling culture in the organization through adoption of industry best practices, recruiting, training, and mentoring of project controls personnel, and maintaining state of the art competencies among all levels of personnel. Few organizations can take the time to help their project controls staff to work their way through technical and practical education, so a large part of the industry learns on the job. This on the job training is completely dependent on the ability, availability, and competence of senior staff mentoring. Nowhere is this demonstrated more than the proliferation of forums and groups in industry associations where all levels of practitioners are asking for help from anyone who will bother to respond. Planning Planet has already taken the leadership role as the international center for planning and project controls experts and with the support of our community of practitioners and employers, is now positioned to provide the world class project controls guidance through the development of the Guild and the accreditation scheme. This roadmap will provide a career path for all levels of project controls staff, guided by some of the leading experts in the world, and the other initiatives will provide much needed direction for project controls managers who are trying to set up their own world class project controls group. This presentation will address what it takes to build and manage a world class organization, and how Planning Planet provides the roadmap to achieve that goal. |

Thursday 22nd September 2011, 14:45 to 15:15 ”3D – 4D INTEGRATION FOR PROJECT DELIVERY” by John Razzell, Synchro, Director – European Sales Synchro and Bentley System have recently entered into a Strategic Partnership to enable a seamless link between Synchro Professional and the Bentley ProjectWise, Navigator, and the Microstation design platform. Synchro’s presentation will show its ease of use, some of its many features and most importantly the benefits that are gained by using Synchro. It will show how easy it is to import Schedules and 3D models and link them together and synchronizing with master files. It will highlight some of the many features that allow you to visually check the build-ability of your project, incorporating such items of equipment such as cranes and hosts. Finally we will cover some of the features that make Synchro an ideal tool for project control. Bentley’s presentation will highlight the use of i-models, and where they can support the collaborative sharing of information between project design partners and contractors in a Building Information Modeling context. How Bentley Navigator can be utilized to review the models and information, provide a basis for design coordination, clash detection and simulation. Finally how Bentley ProjectWise can support the management of the project information (Building Information Management), providing a central project hub which automates the publishing, sharing and distribution of project data to all project team members. |
