A virtual conference exploring The Next Normal in Project Execution, Operations and Maintenance, Buildings and Infrastructure, and Enterprise Project Performance.

Session 4: Faster Revenue Generation with Completions and Commissioning
The more efficiently you complete and hand over a project, the faster your client will generate revenue and the more projects you can win. The final step of project execution – before turning over the keys of a facility to start production – is the completions and commissioning step, arguably the most critical stage of the project lifecycle. In this session, we will discuss the digital transformation of completions and commissioning to facilitate faster project closeout and production start-up.

Featured Speakers: 
Greg Adcock, Director Solution Design, Hexagon
Tony Manning, President and Technical Business Manager, TrueNorth
Stuart Sandiford, System Completion Advisor, ExxonMobil
Christina Kuhlman, Global Projects Systems Completion, ExxonMobil

Session 5: Software Implementation Recipes for Success

There are numerous factors that can hurt a new software rollout. These can occur during the planning, configuration and training stages. Properly mapping and analyzing business processes transform efforts that traditionally provide low returns into ones that produce high impacts. This session delivers simple steps and recommendations for individuals tasked with implementing software in their organization. Ideas will be presented in a way that allows individuals with no business analyst background to apply them as multipliers to an initiative’s success. Joe Little is a construction technology professional with 20+ years’ experience, and he designs and delivers training (classroom, online and one-on-one), leverages synchronous or asynchronous training to efficiently meet organizational needs and plans company-wide software rollouts.

Session 5: The Project Performance Mandate: Getting Serious about Disruption

The status quo is dangerous for projects. The landscape in most organizations is littered with point solutions, homegrown solutions and redundant solutions. While projects are the engines of growth for so many businesses - despite increasing size, volume, complexity and scrutiny - so much of project performance management relies on spreadsheets. And the failures continue. 
 Decades ago, organizations rallied around finance’s need for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Yet no similar mandate has galvanized for a strategic, full lifecycle standard for projects. How do we prove the need and the business case? What’s the real value? Join us as we dismantle the status quo and identify the strategic objectives for projects that will carry your organization through the next normal.

Featured Speaker:
Mark Nelson, Director - Project Portfolio Management, Hexagon

Enterprise Project Performance Day 2

Day two kicks off with those feel good vibes as we’re rejoined by The Sergio Trio playing your requested quarin-tunes as we enjoy more pictures and memories from our friends and colleagues around the world.

At the conclusion of the opening reception, we’ll be joined by Geoff Colvin, Senior Editor-at-Large for Fortune Magazine who will moderate our evolve720 Leadership Panel about “Creating the Next Normal.” For this dynamic panel, Colvin will interview top industry executives recognized as leaders in Energy, Engineering, Construction and Infrastructure. Colvin will moderate discussion and debate around which scenarios are most likely to occur, and how technology is transforming the future landscape to create the next normal. Colvin’s unique perspective stems from unparalleled access to top global business leaders who tell him what they’re seeing, thinking, and doing. Together, with the panelists insights, Colvin can provide audiences with a clearer path for an uncertain future. Geoff unpacks actionable insights on the economic, market, political, and technological forces driving disruptive change.

CREATING THE NEXT NORMAL

Session 1: Next Generation Project Delivery
Project delivery is seeing a permanent shift in global workshare and a greater demand for safe design, budget control and schedule compliance; the digital twin will become a basic requirement of handover. We will focus on the people, processes and tools to empower your next-generation project delivery.
 
Presenters:
Tom Goff, Industry Consultant, Hexagon
Christian Lubrano, Director of Engineering and Design Technology, Kiewit

-

Session 2: Proactive Construction Execution
Most of a project’s budget is spent in construction; proper handover of the design to fabrication/construction will lower the cost and risk in this phase of the project. Join us as we explore how to best manage this and why a holistic approach will stop reactive behavior that leads to overruns.
 
Presenters:
Robert Taylor, SVP CIO, Fluor 
Scott Oskins, Technical Director, Hexagon

-

Session 3: Driving Higher Margins: The Business Model for Project Execution Success
The key to improving diminishing project margins is the digital execution of engineering and design with automation, integration and multi-discipline solutions. We will discuss shifting “left” – focus on the FEED phase and offer as a service – and “right” – offer the digital twin as an ownership deliverable for post-commissioning operations, focusing on the project digital twin to support critical tasks.
 
Presenter:
Frank Joop, Executive Director Business Development, Hexagon

Stenberg then joins the audience live for a Q&A session, 720 Seconds with Mattias Stenberg. Mattias will respond to your questions

With the close of the question & answer session, Mattias welcomes Mark Bonchek, Founder of Shift Thinking for his take on “New Thinking for the Next Normal.” Bonchek will address how In times of discontinuity, it's not enough to change what we do; we first have to change how we think.  Our mental models have grown outdated.  Mark Bonchek has been a pioneer on the digital frontier since receiving Harvard's first PhD on the topic of social media in 1997. As the founder & CEO (Chief Epiphany Officer) of Shift Thinking, he helps leaders and organizations like Coca-Cola, Hoffman-LaRoche & Capital One embrace new models of change, leadership & value creation.
