WEBINAR
What You Will Learn
In this webinar you’d learn how leading owners are modernizing capital project delivery by standardizing processes across portfolios, using specialized project controls and cost management platforms instead of spreadsheets, and integrating cost, schedule, risk and scope data for better decisions. It focuses on real-world lessons from major programs, what has actually worked (and what hasn’t) when adopting new tools and governance, and the practical steps to start building smarter, more predictable capital projects in your own organization.
