Human Error Analysis & Prevention Training Conference - (C 8258)

Introduction:</h2>
Human errors refer to environmental, organizational, and job factors, as well as human and individual characteristics, that influence work behavior in a way that can affect an organization's health and safety performance. A simple way to view human error is to think about three aspects: the job, the individual, and the organization, and how they interact to impact health and safety-related human behavior.
After an accident involving human failure, human error analysis tools can be used to identify the causes and contributing factors to human error. Establishing these underlying causes of an accident or incident is the key to preventing similar accidents or incidents.
This human error prevention and performance improvement conference aims to provide delegates with the practical on-site knowledge and skills to develop and successfully implement effective human error analysis techniques.

Project Planning, Scheduling, and Cost Estimating Skills Conference - (C 8262)

Introduction:</h2>
Late project delivery has become the scourge of project professionals worldwide. Countless projects undertaken by organizations in the private and public sectors significantly overrun the project schedule and budget and, consequently, fail to achieve the organization's financial and strategic objectives, often with sizable increases in costs and substantial financial losses. Why?
This project planning, scheduling, and cost estimating skills conference is due mainly to the failure of many project professionals to successfully apply modern project planning, scheduling, and control tools to their projects. Likewise, developing reliable cost estimates during a proposed project's design and early conceptual stages is critical to its success.
The decision to proceed with a project is often based almost exclusively on early conceptual cost estimates, and these estimates provide the basis for the cash flow projections and forecasts used during the project feasibility study. Unreliable cost estimates can result in significant cost overruns later in the project life when it is too late to contain them.
In addition to the potential financial losses suffered by the organization, many such projects fail to deliver the required quality of outcomes intended for the project as a direct consequence of poor estimating. Budgeting inaccuracies inevitably result in lower-quality workmanship and materials.
<h2>The Importance of Project Planning, Scheduling, and Cost-Estimating Skills:</h2>
Project planning, scheduling, and cost-estimating skills are essential for successful execution. Planning sets the foundation; scheduling ensures efficiency and cost estimation prevents budget overruns. Together, they drive project success.
The estimating techniques and processes covered in this project planning, scheduling, and cost-estimating skills conference will provide delegates with the necessary skills to forecast accurately the anticipated costs of projects with a focus on budget estimates, estimates for pre-construction services, estimating contractor and subcontractor work, estimating general conditions, pricing self-performed work, estimating negotiated contracts, and performing lump sum and unit-price estimates.
This project planning, scheduling, and cost-estimating skills conference will significantly enhance delegates' skills and knowledge and improve their ability to properly plan and schedule their projects, perform estimates at both the conceptual and detailed levels, and compare feasible alternatives quickly and efficiently.
