Architectural, Engineering, & Construction (Virtual) Forum - 210413

Webinar

"Using Innovation and Collaboration to Redefine the Capital Projects Business Model"
presented by Tom McDonald, Consultant at Sherlock Resources; Peter Dumont, CEO of PrairieDog; and John Josserand, Partner Manager at Data Gumbo

The PMI Atlanta AEC Forum is a focus group that hosts regular events with ranging topics in the architectural, engineering, and construction fields. We will show the importance of solid project management in these related fields of study.

Presentation Details

Capital projects are a significant part of the U.S. economy, resulting in approximately $1.3 trillion worth of construction each year, but performance issues in the industry are common. Projects are exceedingly inefficient, riddled with high transaction costs attributed to friction in data exchanges and contractual relationships, with approximately 40% of spending attributed to non-value added transactional costs. Furthermore, each participant in the many layers of project hierarchies contributes to increasing administrative drag that escalates the cost of capital.

As we adjust to and recover from the current global challenges, preservation of the industry supply chain is critical. This presentation will cover the industry research to simplify interaction and drastically reduce costs via a technology-enabled platform.

Key concepts include:

1. Goal Congruence and Shared Success Business Models
2. Supplier Engagement
3. Dynamic Risk Modeling
4. Contracting via Smart Contracts and Blockchain

Due to coronavirus concerns, we will be hosting this event through webinar. Because of this change, member rate is now $8 and non-member rate is $10.
