Mobilising Global Resources to deliver major projects

In today’s global economy, the resources required to execute a major project can be spread across the world. The client could be headquartered in Europe and the site could be in Australia or China or both. The architect is just as likely to be two continents away as two streets and the supply chain could be similarly disbursed.

Designs developed in London can be emailed to Australia where the “night shift” makes progress overnight. New suppliers are found on web sites and portals. Auctions and bidding take place on the internet.

Expert staff will be drawn from centres of excellence in corporate offices around the world. Meetings will be virtual and staff will be used to working seamlessly on the move. Travel at the drop of a hat is normal.

The pace is hectic and yet common sense and good practice need to prevail as much as ever for continuity and direction.

The successful firm will take this scenario for granted and will embrace any new technology which provides better performance and competitive advantage.

This seminar will explore how the best resources can be mobilised from around the world to meet the challenges of today’s advanced economy. The seminar will draw on the experience of Global players to explore business models, tools and technology enablers, organisational solutions, and the risks and pitfalls as well as exemplars where best practice has been used to deliver outstanding results.
