So far, over 400 people are benefitting from having their very own copy of the book. The book was completed in only 18 months, thanks to the hard work and contributions of eight expert contributors, including Dennis Lock, who is sadly no longer with us, but is remembered for his tremendous body of writing since the 1970s as an author and editor.

This ensures the high standard of delivery is maintained and constantly enhanced. I'm thrilled at the feedback received from employers from over 40 companies and almost 300 delegates since 2021 The picture shows some examples: ECITB #projectcontrols #riskmanagement #estimating #documentcontrol #planningandscheduling #costengineering BCECA Association for Project Management Project Controls Expo UK

💡Only 16% of girls believe a career in engineering is suitable for them. We aim to change that perception! Hear from APTUS students Rachel and Jessica from Forth Valley College, alongside Aiyanna, an ECITB Scholar from Richmond upon Thames College as they share their advice for the next generation of female engineers. Engineering construction careers are for everyone. To attract and retain diverse talents from all walks of life, we are fostering positive and inclusive workplace cultures.  💡This statistic comes from Engineering UK’s Science Education Tracker.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Many things can negatively impact a person's mental health. A listening chat with family, friends, and coworkers can be an effective technique to help, especially if you have personal experience to contribute, which can lead to increased empathy. For example, consider workplace bullying. This is something I was subjected to many years ago. It lasted several months and was a challenging and stressful experience. At first, I didn't have a clue what was going on. In seeking ways to help myself, I discovered a book (Bully in Sight), which I purchased back when I was experiencing these challenges. It's a terrific book, highly readable, and helped me comprehend and deal with what was going on at the time. This book is just as relevant today as it was then. It is still available on Amazon and continues to help people today (check it out and see reviews, most recent first, for some real-life examples). Whenever I hear about or am approached by someone who feels that they may be being bullied at work (or anywhere else), I always mention this book, and subsequent chats show how much it helps them as well #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone #EndTheStigma #BreakTheSilence #MentalHealthAwareness

Planning, scheduling and critical path analysis were all well established for the control of major projects in the 1970s, but project controls as we know it today, barely existed. In case you missed this before, I hope my lived experience through this time, which you can see in the video here: https://lnkd.in/eTyxDDRA is informative and will inspire all you project controls enthusiasts out there to continue to move things forward in 2024 and beyond ... what are your thoughts on what project controls will look like in another 50 years time????
