EVA is probably the only event where difference is not an issue. Where which Body of Knowledge or Method does not better. Forcing choices which don’t always provide the best options.

As ever, EVA25 will be different, entertaining and informative. Dinner will be served in the beautiful, wood panelled Hall by candlelight.

Additionally, a pre-conference dinner will be available. Last time 40 very senior project controls people came together for a drinks reception and networking dinner held at the Dorchester. It was a roaring success. And again a real expression of the Controls community. A room full of decision makers working on the major projects of the day.

Attendees are middle to very senior professionals with interests in project management generally, project controls, earned value, wanting to learn more about wider issues of transformation, successful change and benefits-driven portfolios. These people realise that the world is changing rapidly and they have to change with it if they are to thrive and survive. They form an ever growing group. Steve Wake’s Conversation club with weekly virtual meets and quarterly face-to-face gatherings.

The emergence and impact of practice that seeks a more reactive holistic approach is now unquestionable. That can only be gained from knowledge and above all knowhow. Experience. We need thinkers and doers. But in the one person.

How do you identify and develop these people? This is a problem for those running projects as well as for those being asked to find and recruit.

They are asking the wrong questions or don’t have the relevant assessment tools at their disposal.

They will also be very keen to keep Project Controls set onto a formal career path this year and are looking for like minds who will lobby for and champion this, as well as networking and business leads.

It remains clear to me that only the community itself can fix that. Expecting non-practitioners. Our elders and betters. Those in power to know the answers is wrong. They don’t.

We are now finally taking control of our destinies our lives and of course our projects! We have already taken a great step forward with the creation of the Conversation Club. An informal group of seniors in the community supporting and leveraging the promotion of the profession and the creation of a real national practitioners standard.

Government, Defence, Aerospace, Construction, Utilities, Transport, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical and IT sectors are represented in the audience.
