Best Practices for Preventing Out-of-Sequence Activities and Minimizing ImpactsThis session will summarize the findings of Construction Industry Institute Research Team 334 (CII RT 334) that successfully investigated out-of-sequence (OOS) work in construction. Despite the seriousness of the challenges that OOS work imposes on the construction industry, the existing body of literature lacks direct solutions of how to handle it. Research recently performed by CII RT 334 was the first of its kind as it deeply investigated the causes, warning signs, and impacts of OOS work, and provided proven concepts for preventing and minimizing its negative impacts. Through these findings, this session will highlight the highest risk causes, the OOS warning signs that can be used to anticipate it, as well as the cumulative impacts of OOS on project performance.

Construction & Technology: Innovative Industry or Slowpoke?During this entertaining, lively, and interactive discussion, learn how people are impacting the adoption or lack thereof of technology in our industry. With the advent of so many revolutionary technologies and tools (both existing and emerging), we still find the industry lagging behind in adoption vs. other major industries. Why do we as an industry struggle with adoption and universal implementation of technology? What are the main impediments, issues, root causes (or excuses) that are holding us back? How do we accelerate the adoption of new technologies and methods? Are there some basic standards that can be universally agreed upon? How do we leverage the growing network of talent? How does the industry’s lack of full adoption impact the future in terms of finding and retaining the next generation of talent and leaders? S P E A K E R S :

What To Do When Projects Go BadEven the most promising design and construction projects can get quickly sidelined by a few missteps, a couple of bad decisions, misaligned expectations between the parties, or any other number of challenges. This session is based on FMI’s experience working with over 1,400 projects across various project types and project delivery methods. This data-based presentation will explore some of the key issues that contractors, architects/engineers, construction managers, and owners encounter on their projects, describe common causes of these problems and explore strategies that all stakeholders can take to avoid making the same mistakes repeatedly, and to right the ship on an existing bad project.S P E A K E R S :

Managing Risk through Contractor Selection: A Case StudyThe Tarrant Regional Water District has completed the procurement of $637 million in construction, including $37 million in owner-furnished equipment, through 35 different procurement packages. Risk management analysis indicated contractor selection to be a significant risk factor given the small number of qualified contractors for specialized construction. The procurement process incorporated lessons learned from a model project, and a prequalification and competitive sealed proposal process that allowed selection of contractors and suppliers on a best value basis. The process evolved over the three-year procurement period to incorporate lessons learned and advantages of a changing market while maintaining the interest of a relatively small pool of qualified contractors and suppliers, all resulting in significant savings and reduced risk to the District.S P E A K E R S :

Streamlining Government Change Order Processes - Can It Be Done?Change is the norm on construction projects. Change is beneficial in that owners can modify the project after contract award while contractors can increase the scope of work and project profitability without needing to compete for additional work. At the same time change can be detrimental for both owners and contractors. Change often causes projects to complete later than planned and over budget. Efforts have been initiated by various governmental entities to streamline change order processes. This session will discuss difficulties in speeding up such processes and why such efforts are quite often doomed to fail due primarily to a misunderstanding on when a change starts and when a change order process commences.S P E A K E R :

Useful Techniques for Assessing Schedule QualityA project schedule is an important tool for planning and managing the work on a construction project. To promote project success, it is critical that the schedule used on your project adheres to the fundamental elements of a quality schedule and represents a realistic plan for achieving key project milestones. In this session you will learn what the fundamental elements of a quality schedule are, in addition to the ways in which a construction manager can assess these elements through use of forensic scheduling tools and other methods. This session will also provide guidance on detecting the common techniques a contractor may use to manipulate the schedule in order to mask poor progress and delays over the course of the project.S P E A K E R S :

A Top Down Approach to Technology on Maryland’s Eastern ShoreThe construction manager’s role as the owner’s representative when delivering an accelerated $158 million design-build highway dualization project in a single construction season was full of complex challenges. The CM’s leadership strategy focused on effective partnering between the contractor, design-build team, owner, and other stakeholders, including Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland, who had a vested interest in the timely completion of this highly-visible project. By providing continuous on-site MFS support, the team was able to quickly identify any potential issues or required enhancements to keep the conversation open and moving forward with the field team and stakeholders.S P E A K E R S :

A Comparison of Project Performance Amongst Different Project Delivery SystemsA project delivery system (PDS) defines the relationship and timing of involvement between different contracting parties. Traditional PDSs are design-bid-build (DBB), construction management at-risk (CMR), and design-build (DB). More recent studies add a fourth PDS: integrated project delivery (IPD). By collecting quantitative data from 109 real-world projects and applying statistical analysis, this session will explore how project delivery systems significantly differ in 10 performance metrics spanning five performance areas: communication, change management, schedule, cost, and quality.S P E A K E R S :

Improv Concepts to Inspire Thought LeadershipNotorious for comedy, improvisation is an art form practicing in-the-moment creativity. Beyond the jokes, improv practices the art of communication, connectivity, and collaboration. These soft skills can equip teams with techniques in creative problem solving, leadership, and active listening. In this interactive workshop, we’ll demonstrate and practice three improvisation concepts to build better teams, better leaders, and better results.

How to Improve Estimates, Forecasts, and Project PerformanceBy applying predictive analytics to an organization’s historical data, initial project cost estimates and risk assessments can be more accurate, improving forecasts and execution on a multi-year investment plan. The challenge with using historical data is that it is often dispersed throughout multiple financial and project management software systems, requiring significant data collection and analysis for the comparison to be feasible.S P E A K E R S :

Using Construction Analytics to Gain Insight and Improve PerformanceConstruction projects and budgets remain under scrutiny – requiring an increase in transparency, accountability, and accessibility to an organization’s information. The challenge for construction executives is to transform that information into insight, promoting data-driven decisions as they balance increased demands with limited resources. The typical implementation of project management solutions within capital programs leads to redundant tracking from multiple platforms and decreased data quality from disjointed systems. The disparate data sources prevent managers from understanding, prioritizing, and reporting on project performance. Having access to an executive suite of performance tracking and reporting dashboards based on integrated data sets from the existing project management tools and systems provides organizations with rapid and reliable snapshots of project performance along with predictive capabilities, allowing leadership to anticipate and respond to risks before they

emerge and successfully deliver their capital project portfolios on-time and within budget.S P E A K E R S :

A Construction Manager’s Value Beyond The ContractTechnology is and will continue to play an important role during the construction process. This trend will create more opportunity for CM firms who recognize it and can create value-added services for owners who have struggled with the inefficiency of sharing information across a construction project’s lifecycle. Learn what it means to be a value-added technology advisor to top performing owners, why many owners are moving towards a holistic technology approach and what that means for your firm, and what to look for. Hear how a program assessment can be the first step towards building your firm as a trusted advisor and real-life examples: why customer X chose a firm with a clear understanding of technology and the ROI it brought to their business.S P E A K E R S :

Improving Safety Performance through Operational ExcellenceOperational excellence can be defined as “doing the right thing, the right way, every time – even when no one is watching.” Developing a model to represent that in regards to safety on capital projects, is a daunting task. The presenters spent four years researching, developing, and testing such a model and will address what it means for contractors and owners in the capital project industry. The presentation will address issues such as assessing gaps between what is espoused in corporate offices versus enacted in the field, level of effort required for change, and identify areas yielding the greatest opportunities for safety improvement up, down, and across organizations.S P E A K E R S :

Constructibility Review: Adding Value at all Phases of Project DevelopmentConstructibility review within a value engineering (VE) study during conceptual and preliminary design supports the identification of construction challenges and risks early, allowing the design to be revised to improve the construction risk profile before commitments are made to stakeholders. The value of a VE workshop at 60% or 90% level of design is greatly enhanced by shifting the subject matter expertise focus to the actual construction of the project. Construction focused VEs at the later stages can be very effective in supporting the development of well thought out cost estimates, schedules, contract specifications, and ensuring a solid set of bid documents. The benefits can include reduced change orders during construction, improved risk mitigation/risk management, improved bids, better stakeholder interface, and improved follow through on stakeholder commitments.S P E A K E R S :

Becoming a Better Leader: Practicing Mindful LeadershipThe emotional intelligence of an organization’s leader can positively or negatively affect the company’s entire culture. While self-awareness has been shown to be one of the most important qualities a leader can possess, it is rarely taught in business school. Fortunately, the muscle of mindfulness, which strengthens emotional intelligence, can be learned, practiced, and developed by incorporating simple exercises into our everyday lives. In the context of the workplace, mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress, prevent employee turnover, and reduce burn out. Mindful leaders are deeper listeners, less emotionally reactive, more empathetic, and have greater access to the parts of their brain that are responsible for creativity, problem solving, and effective leadership. Informative as well as entertaining, this interactive presentation engages audience members with transformational mindfulness practices, teaching them valuable tools they can easily incorporate into their everyday lives.S P E A K E R :
