INTRODUCTION TO MANAGING CONSTRUCTION SERIES: Raising the Bar “Think Differently and Succeed!”

 

Complimentary Member Session

From a Team of Multi-Disciplinary Trainers!

Join Us For a FREE Series Overview and start “Thinking Differently”

To manage construction today we are encouraged to “think differently”.  The foundation for a successful project is to understand the commitments, expectations, responsibilities, “whys” and risks/rewards for all parties in all the stages/components of a project.  Through this 90-minute overview of the Managing Construction Series utilizing breakout and chat functions, you will whet your appetite to learn more and foster the attitude to “think differently and succeed!”

“Learning from your own mistakes is EXPERIENCE: Learning from the mistakes of others is WISDOM. Come and experience both the experience and wisdom of your trainers.”

Managing Construction Series Background:

For the first time, we are bringing virtual instructor-led expertise to your office through the synergy of multi-disciplinary trainers’ knowledge that has only been delivered at conferences.  Three trainers (Project Owner, Consultant and Contractor) will share their perspectives and expertise. And it gets better! In past, conference presentations have been focused on a one-way exchange of know-how from the speakers to you. This workshop moves beyond that one-way exchange to allow you to apply what you have learned and provides the opportunity for participants to ask questions and tap into the extensive real-life experience and expertise of the diversity of our accomplished trainers.
