  • Understanding Cause and Effect: You will gain a complete understanding of the life cycle of the Work-In-Progress from the estimate through contract change orders and billing to profit fade.
  • Relaying Critical Information: Learn where accounting and the finance department interact with operations and project management. Examine how your organization utilizes information and how it might improve. What are the AAA’s – Assemble, Analyze and Apply.
  • Testing Your Knowledge: Practical exercises will be presented to reinforce what has been learned in the session. Walk away with valuable new awareness and management skills that can be applied immediately.
