Leadership and waste management among the topics to be covered by team of experts.
The CIOB is hosting a half-day of live Continuing Professional Development events as part of this year’s International Inspiring Construction conference on 24 November at London’s QEII Conference Centre. Delegates will have the opportunity to attend a trio of CPD sessions as well as accessing the conference’s morning session.
The Mastering Construction CPD programme offers the chance to interact with thought leaders on issues ranging from waste, leadership and recruitment to project control, while the conference offers a range of perspectives on the global market. These include the challenges of working in the Middle East, and how China is partnering with UK companies as it expands investment in Europe.
The first of three CPD sessions, led by Edward Goodwyn, partner at Pinsent Masons’ employment group, will be dedicated to leadership and recruitment. Goodwyn, who has years of experience of reducing employment risk during mergers and acquisitions, PFI contracts and company restructuring, will explain how a successful HR strategy is key to project delivery.
With a focus on profitability and waste minimisation, the second CPD will offer perspectives on how waste can be minimised throughout the lifecycle of a building and the game-changing effects of new technology.
The seminar will be jointly led by four construction experts: Charlie Law, founder and managing director of Sustainable Construction Solutions is a specialist on the circular economy; Peter Kelly, regional sustainability manager for ISG also chairs Build UK’s waste working group; Roger Flanagan, past CIOB president and professor of construction management at the University of Reading and Lewis Wenman, group BIM manager for J Murphy & Sons.
The final CPD session, entitled “Time management, scheduling and excellence in construction project management” will be run by David Woolven, principal teaching fellow at UCL and expert in project strategy, management, assurance and control.
Peter Clyde, an associate in Balfour Beatty’s services division, will join the session to lend his expertise as an experienced construction litigator.
Mastering Construction offers the chance to raise the performance both of yourself and your team. Tickets are priced at £49 for CIOB members, and if you book three places on the CPD event, one member of staff will attend the full International Inspiring Construction conference completely free.
