Stepping onto the stage to extend a warm welcome to all our esteemed guests is GHASSAN AL-DOSSARY (CEP, CCEA, PMP), President of AACE Saudi Arabia Section.
Ghassan emphasized the pivotal role of the section and its ongoing and prospective contributions to Saudi Arabia. AACE members benefit from exclusive access to a global network of professionals renowned for their excellence across diverse projects worldwide. They also gain access to a library boasting over 1000 recommended practices, a monthly cost engineering journal, monthly technical webinars, and eight professional certifications recognized by the Saudi Arabian Human Resources Development Fund. Additionally, the section collaborates closely with companies to offer on-site or online training, ensuring employees are well-prepared for AACE certifications. Moreover, efforts are underway to integrate AACE certification into the curriculum of local universities for construction management students, aligning with the comprehensive coverage of university materials in certification study information.
Furthermore, Ghassan addressed a commonly asked question—distinguishing between project management and project controls. He elucidated that project management encompasses overseeing all facets of a project, from scope to quality, providing a holistic perspective. In contrast, project controls delve deeper into monitoring the project's budget and schedule, furnishing data and insights crucial for keeping the project on course. Essentially, project controls serve as the analytical lens within the broader project management framework.
