What Does "AACE" Stand For?

The legal name since 1992 is AACE International. In 1956 the organization was established as the American Association of Cost Engineers. While you may have seen that “AACE” stands for the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering, this is only a statement that encompasses the work of the Association, not a legal name.

Communicating Effectively with the Project Team

by AACE International | Jan 18, 2017

February 22 - 1:00 PM (Eastern U.S.)

The main focus of project controls tends to be around numbers and calculations. The ability to use historical information to predict trends and make forecasts is a major aspect of a quality project control environment. Equally as important, but often overlooked, is the process by which we communicate these predictions to our project team. To effectively provide the high-quality project control function to your project team, there must be a mutual respect for the data as well as the manner in which the data is presented. This webinar will address how this is achieved in well-functioning project control environment by demonstrating effective reports, root cause assessments, alternative recovery options, and constructive team collaboration techniques.
