USING PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS TO IMPROVE PROJECT PERFORMANCE<br />

9:30AM - 11:00AM / WEDNESDAY<br />

As large-scale construction projects become more complex, project schedules and budgets become more susceptible to<br />

unexpected risks. Managing these risks involves all phases of the project, from planning through execution.<br />

ROOM #611<br />

By using a probabilistic modeling of the project cost and schedule, you can proactively plan for, mitigate, and react to project<br />

risks. This session will focus on project managers, sponsors / owners and planners of large-scale industrial projects. We will<br />

provide case studies of how these techniques can be applied on your projects.<br />

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, and Suppliers<br />

Presented by Chris DelGardo<br />

PROGRAM RISK VS. PROJECT RISK: INTEGRATING THE SCHEDULES OF SEVERAL<br />

INTERRELATED PROJECTS<br />

9:30AM - 11:00AM / THURSDAY<br />

A large-scale construction project is complex enough – especially when things are not going as well as expected. But what<br />

happens when you have a program of interrelated and interdependent projects all going at once? You may find that a minor<br />

delay within one of your projects can cascade into a major delay for some of the others.<br />

ROOM #611<br />

By using a probabilistic modeling of the project schedule, you can better understand the impact of the “Program Critical Path”<br />

vs the individual “Project Critical Paths”. This session will focus on program managers, sponsors / owners and planners of large-scale<br />

industrial programs. We will provide case studies of how these techniques can be applied on your projects.<br />

HOW TO ALIGN MARKETING AND SALES TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS<br />

9:30AM - 11:00AM / THURSDAY<br />

Your clients and prospects experience one single relationship with your company. The performance of the sales rep, the<br />

website, your trade show booth, customer service, and all other touch points culminate in one single judgment about whether<br />

your company is worthy of their business and loyalty. But each of these touch points are functionally separate within most<br />

organizations. How do you bridge the gap between marketing and sales to purposefully build a unified buyer’s journey? In this<br />

interactive session, you will learn:<br />

ROOM #602<br />

• How to map your marketing tools and projects within the sales cycle and buyer’s journey<br />

• How to maximize the effectiveness of ALL of your marketing tools<br />

• How to build decision making criteria that gets everyone on the same page<br />

• How to get C-level support for your ideas and initiatives<br />

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, and Suppliers<br />
