Shaping our Energy Future – Project Managing the Change
Wednesday 31st May 2023 | Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen
The transition to a different energy future is underway, and all around us, we see huge change. From provision of alternative energy generation, to securing our energy supply and adapting our energy use, we have much to do. Projects are in planning, in progress and coming to completion. And all of this is set against a background of a tight labour market, skills shortages and worsening economic conditions.
How are projects to survive and thrive in this climate? As a project profession, we need to maintain and grow our expertise and capability as well as discover new ways to work, to make our projects not only successful, but excellent.
The ECITB’s 2023 project management conference will discuss how we can rise to this challenge. It will consider:
- How do we maintain and grow PM capability to keep pace with the demands on us?
- How do we keep producing from existing energy resources?
- What skills are required in green energy projects, and how do people gain and improve them?
- What tools and techniques can help us in project controls and management?
- Where are the examples of best practice?
- How do we promote and take advantage of diversity and inclusion in our workforce?
- Where can we get new thinking to help us do things better?
Delegates will hear of the practical ways that the profession is answering these questions and accomplishing project delivery goals. Attendees will not only hear about the challenges and needs, but also join the conversation by contributing their thoughts and experiences. Case studies of projects already underway will be shared, enabling knowledge and experience transfer.
