Canadian Institute of Mining Annual Virtual Convention CIM 2021

/in , , /by

PTAG’s, Feroz Ashraf has been invited by Canadian Institute of Mining to present at their upcoming May 3rd virtual annual convention CIM 2021 on two topics: “The Importance of Front-End Planning and Leveraging Industry Best Practices to Minimize Project Risk” and “How to Plan and Execute Capital Projects in Volatile and Uncertain Times.”

Feroz will walk you through a direct and to-the-point presentation providing practical step-by-step approaches and validated examples. You will get a chance to engage with Feroz in the post-presentation Q&A session and to network with him at this virtual convention. This four-day event will have many thought leaders and keynote speakers presenting CIM community’s best content.

The presentations will focus on below key areas:

  • Challenges faced by the Mining Industry during Covid-19 and in general.
  • Top reasons why projects go off-track.
  • Front-End Planning – what, why, how? and Leveraging Industry Best Practices.
  • Rigorous staged-gate process to minimize project risks.
  • Learn how and when to use Construction Industry Institute (CII) Front-End Planning tools, such as the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) to determine the “state of readiness” and “maturity level” of your project to assure better outcomes.
  • Review how to assess the Project Complexity Index and Maturity Levels– and to adapt the Execution Plan accordingly to optimize the contracting strategy and minimize execution risk.
  • Determine why Initial Project Set-up and a focussed List of Deliverables are important for team alignment.
  • Review why consistent Project Controls and Risk Analysis methodology is critical.
  • Learn how a simplified, interactive Project Management & Project Controls Handbook – is a key to Project Management and Delivery Success.
  • Look into Integrated Project Management Structure and Systems – I2PD for enhanced risk-sharing and collaboration.
  • Understand why an Integrated Project Execution Plan (IPEP) is a roadmap to success.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, projects are experiencing significant productivity impacts especially due to health impacts, as well as increasing pressure and social license related to climate change. I2PD is a good approach for quickly planning and executing capital projects as government and industry relaunch the global economy.

Watch Michael Dubreuil, PTAG’s Managing Partner, as he presents at CII’s webinar on I2PD – A Means to Plan and Execute Capital Projects as Part of COVID-19 Economic Response. Michael is joined by Mike Pappas – Associate Director for Deployment at CII, Alison Bradley – Director, Asset and Project Management, Eastern Operations at Ontario Power Generation, and Phil Barutha – Assistant Professor at Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction, University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

This webinar was originally conducted on 2020, September 16.

To stimulate the economy, governments and businesses are starting to invest in capital projects. This will help fight the economic impact, boost employment opportunities as we are facing severe job losses due to the pandemic.

The New Normal requires “new ways” of operating that requires all parties; Owners, Consultants, Contractors, Engineers, and Equipment Suppliers to find new and innovative ways of optimizing cost and schedule to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and work towards a sustainable recovery.

Industrial Integrated Project Delivery, or I2PD, is one such approach of project delivery that uses high degree of collaboration and integration in the development, design, and construction phases of an industrial project. Research has shown that highly integrated projects have proven to have a superior performance in metrics related to quality, communication, and change performance with significantly faster processing times, improved cost and schedule certainty to meet business objectives.

Some of the noted benefits of I2PD:

This one-hour direct and to the point webinar will present I2PD as a project delivery method and explain why it is a good approach to be used to swiftly plan and execute capital projects to aid in relaunching the global economy after COVID-19.
