Title: Constructive Ingredients for Evolving Projects: Out of the Box Project Management Constructive Ingredients for Evolving Projects
Synopsis:
Join the Inaugural Event for the new PMI Toronto Construction Community and hear from our expert speakers on how Project Management Practices have evolved and continue to evolve today in Construction.
Construction projects are challenged in many ways, they have to deal with many external factors such as environment, evolving technology, access to build and the list goes on. Construction projects are evolving, they have multiples uses – hotel, retail & residential – all in one building. Due to the shortage of land, buildings have to provide their own Green space & meet LEED standards. Our projects face complexity -- to stay ahead of the curve we must evolve and look at new ways to manage our projects.
A recent KPMG global survey into Construction Project Management shows that in order to face the challenges today, organizations need to consider:
- Fresh approaches to Talent Mgt
- Integrated PM Information Systems
