Subhash Tuladhar is Executive Director of Project Controls at the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC). Subhash will present a keynote on ‘Data Catalogue for Advanced Data Analytics.’ Subhash will explain how historical data has always been an important reference for project management. Since the popularity of external data sources, the scale and quality of accessible historical data have grown.  Subhash will discuss data analytics, where insights can be extracted from historical data. Subhash will offer his insights on a data model where raw data can be represented using a data catalog. Subash will offer real-world examples, demonstrating a sample data dictionary used by organizations to deliver capital projects on time and within budget. Subhash will explain how the data catalog and dictionary can be adapted and used by any organization.

Technology Zone- will be held in the PNC Diamond Club

Jason KimbrellJason Kimbrell is a Project Controls Specialist, at Omega Project Solutions. Jason will present ‘I paid for cost management software. Why are they still using spreadsheets?” Recognizing Mistakes that Break Cost Tool Implementations.’

Jason will offer his insights on the extent that a project controller’s benefit is directly related to the decisions made during software implementation. Jason will explain that bad decisions can have negative impacts later. Many organizations believe that adhering to solid project controls or recreating existing procedures will be enough to deliver but find their cost engineers reluctant to abandon spreadsheets. Jason will discuss that a successful software implementation is dependent on the end-user and project management buy-in. Reporting demands and the complexities of the cost engineer’s day job need to be taken into consideration otherwise end-users will resist change. Jason will also offer his insights on the frequent mistakes organizations make when adopting and implementing cost software.

Case studies Zone- will be held in the Nationals Club

Rohan MuthaRohan Mutha is the Project Controls Leader at AECOM in the NY Metro area. Rohan will present ‘Successful Implementation of an Integrated Schedule/Cost Control System’.

Russell will discuss the issue of trying to manage decarbonization on a grand scale, in a bid to reduce the increase in global warming, predicted over the next 40 years.

Nikhil AmbaniNikhil Ambani, Director Ambquad Solutions Ltd.  Nikhil will present ‘Navigating Delay & Disruption Issues on Alliance Contracting Frameworks.’

Competitive tendered fixed price contracts often lead to contractors / non-owners making assumptions on risks they cannot control and are often asked to accept, even on the most complex mega-projects. This invariably results in parties trying to mitigate some of these initial losses through scope changes and variation claims, to remain financially viable. Nikhil will discuss alternative and collaborative contracting models. Nikhil will offer his insights from his experience in navigating delay and disruption issues using collaborative contracting models. Nikhil will explore from his own learning experiences what worked well, and what didn’t when he analyzed these complex issues.

Merritt Hamilton AllenMerritt Hamilton Allen is the Director of Vox Optima, LLC. Merritt will present ‘Anatomy of a crisis: Crisis communication for project controls’

Communication is the one area where human factors, the most difficult to predict and control, will always take precedence. Merritt will discuss and, using examples will break down all manner of crises, large and small.  Merritt will offer her insights on where the touchpoints are and how to stay ahead of them; this ensures the de-escalation of tension, allowing the crisis team to focus on resolving issues and restoring a good working environment.

Innovations Zone – will be held in Roosevelt Conference Center

Osma AbedlfatahOsama Abdelfatah AVP, Regional Program Controls Director, Americas AECOM. Osama will present ‘The Dusk of PMIS and the Dawn of Controls Engine.’

Osama will offer his insights on the advancement of Program Controls. Data insights provided to decision-makers are often not aligned. Osama will discuss the current Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) that tries to connect a variety of systems that relies on individual capabilities. The Controls Engine relies on data alignment and leverages the wealth of data to ensure successful delivery and realization of benefits. Osama will explain that this involves the combination of data throughout the program’s lifecycle by tying up the contract, project, and program levels.
