INEIGHT PROJECT CONTROLS
BEYOND BASICS: 3 ADVANCED PROJECT CONTROLS PRACTICES

EMPOWER YOUR TEAM TO DO MORE
Construction spending could reach $22 trillion by 2040, up from $13 trillion in 2014.[3] However, productivity and workforces stretched thin across many projects are major concerns as to whether the industry will be able to deliver on that number. Technology is playing a pivotal role in helping the capital construction industry overcome the challenges of tight staffing and challenging projects by improving efficiency, reducing reliance on manual processes, and managing resources more effectively.
Many types of technological advances offer increased efficiency and productivity, but in the project controls space, integration and automation offer the most promise for taking frustrating, mundane tasks off overworked employees’ plates. By turning to an integrated solution that results in smooth data flows, forward-thinking teams:
- Improve collaboration by removing the bias from gathered data
- Address risk before it becomes rework
- Give all stakeholders up-to-date project views that reduce the need for investigation and problem solving
Automating routine manual tasks and syncing data between the field and the office means all stakeholders have instant updates on project performance. With less time spent on tedious, routine project controls tasks project teams have more time to focus on high-value activities like analyzing data and risk management that drive project success and innovation.
ONE WAY TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY IS TO REFORM PROJECT MANAGEMENT. TRADITIONAL PROJECT DELIVERY LACKS INTEGRATED THINKING, PRIORITIZES SHORT-TERM COSTS, AND DISCOURAGES INNOVATION. FOCUSING ON PRODUCTION METRICS FOSTERS ADAPTABILITY AND PROBLEM-SOLVING.[4]
