Abstract: Our training as construction project managers prepares us to plan and execute projects in an organized, logical manner, according to a carefully thought-out schedule of activities. But what happens when a catastrophic event threatens the delivery of the project? Participants in this session will learn strategies for managing unexpected events on a project, from responding to the initial circumstances to recovering and finishing strong.
Key takeaways include:
- Establishing order in chaotic moments
- Marshalling resources – when how and whom to call
- Communicating with the stakeholders when the news is bad
- Establishing contingency plans for recovering
- Following through and following up
Whether the initial crisis involves a natural disaster, failed systems or equipment, personnel matters, regulatory factors, environmental issues, other circumstances, or a combination of these, it is likely a defining moment in a project during which its manager must act swiftly.
Optimism is an asset in the very difficult business of managing construction projects. We embark on new projects with this sense of optimism and our can-do attitudes, the project well-planned, organized and the team set to perform. The ability to take effective action when things don’t go as planned, however, is just as critical to a successful project delivery–and to a successful career in construction project management.

Abstract: This presentation will show what is happening in the industry in developing counties Vs USA and how does a millennial look at it and fit into it. As we all know that the culture of each country is one of the major aspects to take into account in stakeholder management when referring to millennials; whether they manage a project team or they are being managed by project leaders. No doubt that each country has its own and different working environment.
In developing countries, the culture and the nature of each project play an important role in CPM. Currently many case studies show that it’s not anymore about the waterfall process or the new agility techniques that matter, however it’s about how to be creative and adapt to the nature each project in all its circumstances since each project varies in its location, time, budget and resources.
Of course, it is very beneficial to study theories but also its more important to learn from our mistakes and be down to earth; maybe we can think of new holistic approaches or come up with a model that can be used later as a tool for managing each project independently.
Also, this presentation aims at understanding what challenges are, how they are formed and how they are perceived by millennials. Research involves doing a deep dive study into the mindset of millennials from across 2 continents on their outlook at the industry today and their understanding of major concerns of the industry.
