”THE ROAD MAP TO WORLD CLASS PROJECT CONTROLS”
Presentation 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.
