Regulating the Cyberworthiness of Operational Technology for Safety
The cyber domain is increasingly merging with the physical domain through the rapidly growing and widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and more substantial Operational Technology (OT), critical to a safe and functional modern society. While the cyber domain brings significant benefits to physical systems, such as enhanced
Managing complex projects is quite possibly the most difficult profession devised by man. Dealing with increasing complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity while trying to maintain consistency in budget, schedule, and performance can challenge the most seasoned project and systems engineering manager. This presentation will examine several contemporary challenges facing project and

Rough Order of Magnitude Your Time Has Come
Rough Order of Magnitude – Your Time Has Come explores the critical role of early-stage estimation in decision-making, innovation, and strategic planning. In an era defined by uncertainty and rapid change, the Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) approach—often dismissed as imprecise or overly simplistic—finds new relevance. ROM is a powerful
DST Group provides scientific advice and innovative technologies to meet Australia’s Defence and National Security challenges, this presentation looks at the group's migration to a structured portfolio management approach aligned to strategy.
This presentation will share a case study on how one organisation rediscovered the value of scheduling and regrew their capability.
Topics:
With a light-hearted example, this presentation illustrates why it is so difficult to determine the value of a project at initiation or determine whether it will be a success, taking the audience through the conception of the project, the analysis of the costs, the estimate of the benefits, and the
2021 Research Grant winner: This presentation focuses on how social media can provide an opportunity to evaluate benefits and public values qualitatively. In particular, two questions are addressed: How will social media data help us to take into account and monitor public value creation and benefits realization in infrastructure projects?
Topics:
The Complex System Governance (CSG) model foundationally fuses these disciplines in new governance meta-functions. Further the associated pathological approach developed for CSG implementation provides a path of least resistance and thus greatest parsimony for such change management. In this presentation we overview research illustrating the CSG underpinnings with the concepts
Projects are successful, challenged or failed and dependant on where you are sitting, they can be all three at the same time. As Project Professionals we are constantly striving for that elusive successful project and in this presentation we will discover the thoughts, stages, roles, concerns and tricks/actions that will
Topics:
An estimate will always vary due to its subjectivity and the variability of future outcomes. We are often distracted by attempting to wield variables outside of our control and it's about time to accept these limitations and focus on the ones we do have some measure of influence. Whilst high
The Governance of projects and programs to create value requires a holistic, integrated approach. This paper looks at the management challenges involved in moving from traditional ‘project management’ to the effective ‘management of projects’ and shows how the Draft International Standard ISO2503 can help achieve these objectives.
Storytelling for Cost Estimators.
As estimators, we advocate the importance of good data; but without context, estimates and analyses are just numbers. To give power to our work, we need to effectively pair good estimating with good communication. There is no existing best practice guidance for estimators on how to create a compelling narrative
This presentation by Christina Snyder emphasizes the importance of storytelling for project estimators to effectively communicate their findings and inspire action. It argues that data and analysis are meaningless unless presented in a compelling narrative. By combining data, visuals, and storytelling techniques, project managers can better engage their audience and
A group of engineering projects are examined, all o which failed in a disastrous way, leading to deaths, or failed in spectacularly exceeding the proposed budget. The projects include two NASA projects which had deaths, The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear plant, BP's Deepwater oil platform in the Mexican Gulf and the
