1. Developing integrated solutions from the start is important for TOD projects as they are complex and take a long time to deliver. 2. TOD projects must include requirements of other sectors as early as possible to reduce costs of changes later on. 3. Computer modeling and analysis of passenger movement patterns are used to optimize transport planning, identify potential congestion issues, and maximize commercial opportunities in TOD developments.

We all want greater diversity in projects

Association for Project Management

This document discusses the lack of diversity in major projects and proposes some solutions. It notes that while increasing diversity is theoretically beneficial, it is difficult to achieve in practice due to occupational segregation and personal preferences. Occupational segregation develops from both supply side factors like education choices and discrimination, and demand side factors like unconscious bias in hiring. To increase diversity, the document suggests addressing both supply side factors through improved careers advice and flexible work, and demand side factors by removing bias in hiring. It also stresses the need to create environments where women feel comfortable being with other women.

El documento compara tres teorías del aprendizaje: el conductismo se enfoca en las conductas observables y su automatización, pero depende demasiado de los estímulos externos; el cognitivismo permite realizar tareas repetitivas gracias al entrenamiento previo, pero carece de una evaluación consciente de la veracidad de las respuestas; el constructivismo promueve el aprendizaje activo a través del descubrimiento guiado por los intereses propios del estudiante, aunque aplica los conocimientos de forma subjetiva.

tim longstaff

This document discusses the return of the "Gentleman Engineer" and the growth of engineering services companies. It begins by discussing historical examples of innovative engineering designs from ancient civilizations. It then outlines the rise of engineering as a profession and the growth of large vertically integrated engineering companies in the 20th century. However, it notes the resurgence of independent engineering firms, driven by factors like rising costs, complexity, and improved communications. The engineering services industry has grown to $370 billion annually by outsourcing discrete engineering tasks. The document examines the different types of engineering businesses and considers the challenges of outsourcing engineering functions.

Build infrastructure

Somerco Research

Large - scale infrastructure is a corner stone for a functioning modern society. Therefore, it is important for Europe to be successful in building infrastructure clever. It has a tradition of being costly to build, but also to generate large incomes. I lift forward the necessity to build infrastructure safe and competitive in new innovative ways both in Europe and abroad. Besides, it is a large contributor to the balance of trade between nations, between EU and others. In addition, it is still one of the largest sectors for job employment.

This document describes MISTER, a proposed personal rapid transit (PRT) system that would function as both a public transit solution and a tourist attraction for cities. MISTER vehicles would travel individually on an elevated guideway at speeds up to 50 km/hr, connecting every location on demand without stops. It claims to solve problems of traffic, pollution and congestion in a more efficient manner than existing public transit or private vehicles. The system is depicted as environmentally friendly and a major attraction that could increase a city's economy. Details are provided on its inventor, prototype demonstrations, advantages over other PRT systems, and confirmation of feasibility from Polish academics.

If AI changes everything – do feelings still matter?

Association for Project Management

APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024. Speaker: Carole Osterweil Data is power. AI changes everything. If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings? In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions. “We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact. One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime. The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!” This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022. You’ll come away with: a clear understanding of how the human brain works. a framework that: explains ‘why people behave as they do’. makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set) new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder. Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

The silent project disruptor: Building AI solutions

Association for Project Management

Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology. However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button. Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt. Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering: What do I need to know about AI right now? If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful? Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare? Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.
