AACE Seattle Section May 10th, 2012 Meeting
PROJECT CONTROLS CLINIC - PART II
Presented by Mark Grotefend, Brian Smith, & Steve Wageman
Are you having a difficult time convincing upper management of the importance of having an effective project controls function? Are you new to project controls and excited to learn about the key components of our profession? What can you do to overcome common obstacles to project controls implementation and ensure successful project execution? The AACE Seattle Section has invited four local project controls experts to host a unique "Project Controls Clinic". Mark Grotefend, Brian Smith, and Steve Wageman will be offering their professional project controls advice (at no charge!) to attendees, similar to volunteers working for "Doctors without Borders". Bring your burning project controls questions to the clinic or post them with your meeting registration. You will walk away from the clinic with newfound knowledge, tips, and advice without paying expert consulting fees! The session will be moderated by Mark Chen, PE CCE PMP.
