Risk for the Rest of Us: Taming Enterprise and Project Risk without a PhD

15 September 11:00 AM ET

               Presenters:

               Thomas Polen, PPM solutions Architect, Deltek

               Jarod Maloney, PPM Solutions Engineer, Deltek

"Risk for the Rest of Us" is the concept that finally makes schedule and cost risk assessments feel less like statistics and more accessible for everyone... analysts and managers at every level, no PhD required. You'll learn to gather the right inputs, run Monte Carlo simulations, and decode risk exposure histograms and tornado charts fast enough to brief findings on the spot, in your own words, to any room. We don't stop at the project level, because the threats that blow up timelines and budgets rarely start there. Funding freezes, workforce gaps, and policy shifts originating in the boardroom have a way of quietly cascading into project-level chaos, and this session equips you to spot that chain reaction early, translate it for executives, and drive the mitigation decisions that protect the entire portfolio.

Turning Project Controls into Measurable Value 

22 September 12:00 PM ET

           Presenters:

           Michael Pink, Founder/CEO, SmartPM Technologies

           Ranjeet Gadhoke, SVP Project Controls, Zachry Construction

           Corporation 

Construction teams invest significant time and resources into project controls, but what happens when better schedule intelligence starts producing measurable business results? Join SmartPM CEO Michael Pink and Zachry Construction Vice President of Project Controls Ranjeet Gadhoke for a firsthand look at how Zachry is using SmartPM to drive measurable value across its project controls organization. Ranjeet will share how SmartPM is helping Zachry identify risk earlier, accelerate delay analysis, improve project predictability, and provide clearer performance insights from the project level to executive leadership. Rather than discussing schedule analytics in theory, this session will focus on Zachry’s real-world experience and results, how SmartPM is changing the way teams work, improving decision-making, and translating schedule data into operational efficiencies and tangible ROI. 

Learning Objectives:

• Identify where schedule analytics can create measurable operational efficiencies and business value, using lessons from Zachry’s experience 
• Recognize opportunities to reduce time-consuming manual analysis and create more scalable project-controls processes 
• Explain how earlier schedule intelligence can give teams more time to identify and respond to emerging project risk 
• Evaluate ways to communicate schedule performance, risk, and business impact more effectively to executives and project stakeholders 
• Apply practical lessons from Zachry’s implementation of SmartPM to strengthen project-controls practices within their own organizations
