About AACE

 

Who We Are

With 7,000 members in 100 countries, AACE International has been serving the total cost management community since 1956. We are committed to the constructive exchange of ideas between members, development of technical guidance and quality education and recognition of subject matter experts.

For over 40 years AACE has been certifying individuals. We offer the following certifications: Certified Cost Professional (CCP), Certified Cost Technician (CCT), Certified Estimating Professional (CEP), Certified Forensic Claims Consultant (CFCC), Earned Value Professional (EVP), Decision and Risk Management Professional (DRMP), Certified Scheduling Technician (CST) and Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP). AACE’s CCP, CCT, CEP, CST, EVP, and PSP certifications are independently accredited by the Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards.

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.

DESCRIPTION:
Economists predict that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is set to cause fundamental disruption. Within the Engineering and Construction sector, a proliferation of data streams promises to provide new levels of diagnostic and predictive insight, both increasing efficiency and improving the likelihood of successful project delivery. However, time and time again, studies highlight that construction and real estate have, relative to other industry sectors, the lowest levels of digital maturity. Additionally, for this sector, the most significant barrier to digital progress is the lack of an overall strategy.

To help prepare for disruptive change in our profession, this webinar will explore:
how project professionals can develop and lead an effective digital strategy,
process steps for effective data science and data science maturity, and
ultimately, the presentation will advocate that professionals collaborate and agree upon on the skills and knowledge that are required to perform Total Cost Management Analytics (TCMA) and deliver effective, actionable insight.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: DRM practitioners, risk analysts, project managers and project leadership team members, and project controls professionals

 Presenter: James Arrow DRMP FRICS
James is currently an independent consultant with Project Quantum Solutions, providing both qualitative and quantitative risk management services for clients across the US. Other recent experiences include the development of risk management capability improvement plans, the deployment of state-of-the-art risk analysis solutions including the development of network-enabled asset tracking platforms designed to enhance construction productivity planning and control on large capital projects.
