Delivering future infrastructure: identifying critical management capability to ensure project delivery Description: Ramp up of the delivery of infrastructure is critical to ensure demand for environmentally sustainable buildings and construction, power generation, oil & gas exploration, pollution control, water supplies, recycling, etc… can be met over the coming decade. State owned national and privately owned companies rely ever more on high quality project management to deliver the needed infrastructure. At the same time, the supply side of the industry – construction companies, design houses, EPC contractors, manufacturers and suppliers of equipment, consulting firms – face significant technological and economic challenges. In such an environment, the very highest quality project management is fundamental to achieving success. This presentation will explain the various ways in which the capabilities of industry players to manage projects can be assessed. Benchmarking, maturity assessment, and gap analysis techniques are all discussed. Real life examples will be provided to help delegates understand the differences between the techniques, including the advantages and disadvantages of each method. If you wish to perform one of these techniques using in?house resource you will gain insight in the best way to carry out the analysis. Those seeking objective 3rd. party assessments will gain knowledge on what to look for in firms providing these services. An interactive forum will be held at the end of the session during which delegates will be encouraged to share their experiences of capability analysis, whether done in? house, or carried out by outside firms.
