6TH ANNUAL GLOBAL WORKSHOP

Optimizing Capacity and Managing Complexity

19 & 20 November 2007, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dubai

Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dubai  

Human Systems' 6th Annual Global Workshop for member organizations will take place in Dubai on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th November. This Global Workshop will be based on current research, led by Human Systems, into the relationship between project complexity, productivity and the delivery of results.

Organizations are continually challenged to increase value through improving productivity. An ability to manage complexity to optimize capacity is key to meeting this challenge.

Topics covered will include:

  • What is the nature of complexity in projects that makes so-called 'complex projects' more difficult to manage than other projects?
  • What are the specific skills required of the managers of projects with a high degree of complexity?
  • How can an organization be sure that it will have sufficient people with the right level of skill to deliver the projects and programmes necessary to implement its chosen strategy?
  • How can an organization develop these people?  How can it take people who are competent to manage 'painting by numbers' projects, and develop the necessary skills and abilities to manage and lead projects with a high degree of complexity?
  • From personal experience, what was it that changed in their lives for people who could demonstrate a track record of the successful leadership and management of projects with a high degree of complexity?
Speakers will include Norman Haste OBE, the former Chief Executive of Heathrow airport's new Terminal 5 and Crossrail, the planned rail link between east and west London, and  Dr Falah Mustafa, CEO of Bunya, the property development, utilities and services company. Norman Haste has now joined Laing O'Rourke as chief operating officer of the Middle East business. Dr Falah Mustafa will talk about the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

Join us in Dubai, soon to be home to the world's tallest building and experiencing a massive transformation with the most ambitious projects ever initiated. Learn from experts leading projects in this unique and innovative environment and find out more about how project results can be improved through a deeper understanding of optimizing capacity and managing complexity.
