NYU Langone Medical Center went live with a systems upgrade in order to deploy capital more effectively. With over 1,000 beds, 6 million sq. feet and a multi-billion dollar capital plan the Medical Center needed to streamline their construction project management processes and enhance their integration between their project and financial systems for superior planning and execution across their entire portfolio. To achieve this objective they engaged with Enstoa to deploy Primavera Unifier, integrate PeopleSoft with Unifier, launch a change management program and execute an extensive end user adoption/ training program. The Medical Center went through a transformative process in order to produce substantial cost savings, improve their quality of service, and mitigate risks with project execution.

Earned value management is a project control process based on a structured approach to planning, cost collection and performance measurement.
Earned value helps us manage a project by:
providing data to enable objective measurement of project status;
providing a basis for estimating final cost;
predicting when the project will be complete;
supporting the effective management of resources;
providing a means of managing and controlling change.
Earned value provides information which enables effective decision making by knowing:
what has been achieved of the plan;
what it has cost to achieve the planned work;
if the work achieved is costing more or less than was planned;
if the project is ahead of or behind the planned schedule.
Good planning leads to good project execution and good management information.

How to leverage the Process Classification Framework to scope and estimate the relative effort of process redesign work.
Case Study – Working with a company’s PMO team and leveraged APQC’s PCF to identify key process areas that would be impacted and the degree or level to which processes needed to be re-designed. When laying out the implementation plan it becomes clear that there was a gap in estimation and planning around required business process re-design work.

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.
AI in the project profession: examples of current use and roadmaps to adoption webinar

Content description:
Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession.
To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals.
This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.
Katharine works for WRAP which is a climate action NGO working in more than 40 countries around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future. In this session, you will learn about WRAP’s plastics programme and how sustainability has been incorporated as a core value in delivery of the programme, with the aim of inspiring the audience to take action in their own work.
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.
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

3. Introduction
Purpose of this webinar
Schedule Quality (SQ) matters
SQ plays an important role in BIM & digitization
Raise your awareness and appetite in SQ
Involve you in the SQ improvement process
5. Introduction (Cont’d)
Some facts
SQ is still grossly underestimated
Poor quality Schedules are still being produced
Projects-Programmes performance is still very poor
Some PMs-PDs question the need to create a
Schedule
SCHEDULE QUALITY IS A REALLY IMPORTANT MATTER
6. Quality
Definition
The standard of something as measured against other
things of a similar kind
The degree of excellence of something
How does it affect us?
In our private life
In our work life
12. Quality (cont’d)
Quality in our work life
Q may lead to more realistic commitments
QUALITY IN OUR WORK LIFE IN NOT AN OPTION
13. Schedule
Definition
Schedule is a thing, created by a planner in close co-
operation with the Project team, for the purpose of
providing reliable and timely answers to the typical
questions that PMs/PDs need in order to manage a
Project successfully
14. Schedule (Cont’d)
Key questions
What does Schedule Quality (SQ) really mean?
How can it be measured?
How can the SQ scoring be accepted globally?
15. Schedule (Cont’d)
A definition of a Schedule Quality could be:
It provides all the main elements of information
required to manage a project
The information must be reliable and traceable
All the elements of information must be promptly
available
Data must be structured according to the audience
that is going to utilize it
16. Schedule (Cont’d)
Examples of answers that a Schedule is supposed to provide:
Question Answer
What is the Project Scope? WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)
When should activity xyz start &
finish?
Start & Finish dates (early & late)
Which activity or milestone is critical? Total float (criticality)
How many resources does the Project
need in the next 4 months?
Resource profiles (Human, Material ,
Plant)
When is the project supposed to spend
60% of the budget?
“S” curve associated with the
Baseline Schedule (cost loaded)
Is the project ahead or behind
schedule?
SPI - Earned Schedule Analysis
(Baseline vs Current)
17. SQ Standards & Tools
Standards
SQ is still a blurred concept in many organisations
Recently some official SQ standards have been
introduced (DCMA, GAO, NASA)
Some software houses have invested in dedicated
SQ tools
19. SQ Standards (Cont’d)
DCMA 14 points Acumen Fuse
1. Logic 1. Missing Logic
2. Leads 2. Logic Density™
3. Lags 3. Critical
4. Relationship Types 4. Hard Constraints
5. Hard Constraints 5. Negative Float
6. High Float 6. Insufficient Detail™
7. Negative Float 7. Number of Lags
8. High Duration 8. Number of Leads
9. Invalid Dates 9. Merge Hotspot
10. Resources
11. Missed Tasks
12. Critical Path Test
13. Critical Path Length Index (CPLI)
14. Baseline Execution Index (BEI)
20. SQ Assessment
All the pre-requisites for a “computer aided SQ
assessment” appear to be there:
There is a common understanding of why SQ matters
Standard metrics exist and bespoke ones can be
established
Powerful tools are available
What is missing? Why are there still many
Projects that perform poorly?
21. SQ Assessment (Cont’d)
Human contribution:
Language clarity
Correctness of dependencies
Adequacy of coding system
Correct assignment of code values
Understanding the operating environment
Definition of Activities that are measurable
24. Conclusions
A realistic assessment of the present situation
In spite of reliable reports on projects failures there is insufficient
understanding and buy-in by Top Management
Studies on the reasons of Project failures should be taken in due
consideration
Middle management should not provide unreliable and distorted
information to Top Management
Objective difficulties of adopting a consistent approach in large projects
delivered by large players
Some tools are still considered rather expensive
Not many good trainers are available
25. Conclusions
An optimistic look into the future
High quality and credible schedules will acquire more and more visibility
The above will encourage the development of Quality measurement
methodologies and tools of what I call the “Planning System”
The Quality of Progress Reporting is receiving some attention and is likely
to raise soon
In a world where BIM and digitisation are rapidly growing, the quality of
the schedule will play an increasingly important role
BIM and digitisation (4D, 5D and 6D) will accelerate the migration towards
an inevitable “merge” of disciplines, which have operated in parallel for
too many years, into something more cohesive and integrated
Somebody will find a name (and acronym) for this new and smarter way of
working
