Six live sessions. Everything you need to jump to the next career level.
Each live online session is 2 hours and built around real-world techniques for managing large, complex, and multi-disciplinary AEC projects, and includes the hands-on case study workshops you'll work through with your project team.
Managing a large or complex project starts with a shift in identity, not just skill set. Learn to reframe how you see your role, from owning a single project to owning a portfolio, so you can see exactly where you sit among the PIC, Discipline Leads, APMs, and project control staff around you.
This module walks you through a typical project's lifecycle and demonstrates its connections to the firm's financial goals. Participants then learn how they can improve financial performance through better pricing, contracting and project management.
This module teaches you how to (1) manage your clients' risks more effectively and (2) manage your firm's risks effectively. Through a series of real-world workshops…
This module hands you a practical playbook for turning client relationships you already own into new pursuits, and for knowing which opportunities are actually worth chasing. And, once you decide to pursue a competitive project, you'll learn a foolproof way to win it.
This module gives you the negotiating skills to lock in fair scope, fee, payment terms, and legal terms before you find yourself managing around a bad deal.
Complex projects punish PMs who plan them the way they'd plan a simple one. This module walks through a Project Management Plan (PMP) framework purpose-built for scale. You'll get a comprehensive PMP template that helps you manage risks, resourcing, schedule, and budget from Day One.
Design-build, CMAR, IPD, and P3 each shift where your authority, risk, and obligations sit. PMs who treat them like traditional design-bid-build get burned. You learn how each delivery model actually works, so you can negotiate and manage your side of the deal with confidence.
On-call contracts reward PMs who can turn a stream of task orders into a coherent program, and punish those who treat each order as its own island. We unpack how to mine these agreements for more work and manage them as a true program, not just a pile of separate projects.
Build your leadership skills so you can handle difficult team members, difficult clients and difficult situations.
Learn how to map relationships, identify who really holds authority, and deliver hard news without damaging the relationship.
Next, you learn how to turn negative variances into positive variances and deliver your projects on schedule.
Even the best-run complex projects and programs sometimes get into trouble. This module gives you a clear playbook for pulling a struggling project or an entire program back on track, and preventing the same problem from recurring on your future projects.
None of this matters if it stays in your notes after the program ends. This closing module turns everything you've learned into two concrete plans, one for you and one for your firm, so the skills you learn actually change how you and your team operate on Monday morning.
Space is intentionally limited, so every session stays interactive. We bring a case study project similar to ones you work on every day, so you leave with a completed Project Management Plan outline and a 90-day action plan.
