In March of 1930, construction began on a project as mega as they come, The Empire State Building. Shortly over a year later, it was finished under budget. Why does this seem so impossible to us today?
Through an analysis of more than $1 trillion worth of capital projects over the past five years, McKinsey has uncovered the trend, we simply stopped collaborating well. In other words, there is a direct correlation between increasing productivity and improving basic project-management outcomes. Not only does this direction seem to offer the most promise for improving site and operational performance, but also the relationship between owners and the design construction teams themselves. It sounds simple, but the difficulty lies in how we tackle the challenge of productivity and with what tools?
Join ENR and AJ Waters, VP of Industry Solutions, InEight, and Dr. Theodore J. Weidner, Professor of Engineering Practice, Construction & Engineering Management, Purdue University, as we explore best practices and technology for improving productivity, and how these can help better align the overall interests of capital project owners and contractors alike.
In this webinar, topics covered include:
- Enhancing operational efficiencies by improving communication between owners and contractors
- Strengthening scenario planning by involving construction and procurement teams in the design phase
- Leveraging planning tools to improve operational and tactical success
- Optimizing processes with more effective change order management
- Empowering project management teams with the right technology tools at the right time
As we enter a new year, project outcomes in our industry are still being affected by the unexpected. In response, more construction professionals are turning to the proven planning that is Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) because of the impressive ROI metrics it continues to generate. But while the concepts of AWP may be well known, choosing which technology tools to integrate them with for the biggest gains remains challenging.
Join our presentation as we share fresh ideas for securing the right tech for your best AWP project outcomes in the coming year and well beyond.
Among the key takeaways will be how to:
- Use tech to overcome the most common AWP process gaps for more project wins, more often
- Enact realistic contingency ratios leveraged from actual project histories
- Capitalize on AWP-driven, top-down approaches related to your Path of Construction
- Achieve greater margin accuracy up front for more realistic cost outcomes
- Incorporate real-world applications for scheduling and modeling to improve communication and collaboration

While there have been advances in the running of project management offices (PMOs), it takes strategic program delivery for them to be successful in today’s hyper-competitive market.
In addition to aligning work with organisational and departmental strategic initiatives, you must account for other challenges as well. For instance, how do you handle larger and more complex programs? And what about growing workforces spread across different locations and time zones and being mindful of each unique culture?
Join InEight’s Director of Analytics Catie Williams and a panel of industry insiders as they explore key PMO insights within the contractor and owner spaces. You’ll learn key tips on overcoming the challenges you’ll face when establishing your best PMO.
Among the topics we’ll explore:
- Defining a PMO and if there’s an ideal model to follow
- Establishing PMOs from an owner and contractor perspective
- The role change management plays when establishing a PMO within government departments versus a private company
- The role project management technology plays in successful PMOs

- A look at managing changes and progress in real time.
- A deeper dive into short-interval planning, which helps you align plans to your CPM schedule and minimize rework.
Interested in shifting from being data-driven to information-driven? Attend our live webinar and interact with a panel of thought leaders as they discuss the value and impact of data visualizations, aka “data viz.”
InEight’s Catie Williams and Natalie Takacs will be joined by data viz expert Mike Moore who will run through visualization best practices and how to tackle organizational change management. As an extra bonus, you’ll also get some go-to resources for getting started in data viz.
Among the other key takeaways will be:
- How to handle accessibility in data viz and show positive/negative values.
- Visual examples of do’s and don’ts of data viz.
- How you drive change to use data more and drive adoption of data visualization, and more.
