Abstract

Capital Projects in a COVID world: the starting point of value creation and a strategic requirement for countries through to companies – how you plan for, execute and in some cases concurrently ramp up parts of your capital project, dictates the speed with which you will grow your value as an economy or as a business, the impact you have on a community, and your impact on the planet. A capital project is a strategic enabler.

Today, capital projects are infinitely more complicated but also absolutely more visible and more costly. They require strong risk management and change management while delivering faster and safely. They are under the microscope from every stakeholder yet produce jobs and inject investment in the economy – they are a walking example of multi-stakeholder capitalism. So, how do you really manage a capital project today?

Hear from Proudfoot CEO Pamela Hackett, how leading a #HeadsUp site that brings together stakeholder engagement; a Results Hub; Disciplined Project Execution; Risk Management & Mitigation; Technology at the right place and time particularly in the management of people and activity as well as procurement; and creating a real Community Joint Venture through Co-Venture, will help keep your project on track and on budget, and create real value for all those involved while accelerating economic returns. When you reimagine execution, you can build in preventative measures, future proofing your business and site for maximum value.
