Organizational Strategies for Instantaneous Project Controls Douglas E. Weaver, Walbridge Research Team 316
Informal Survey How old is the information you receive when you are making critical decisions? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Would you like on-demand access to current project status information at any time? Given that an instantaneous control function is defined by a continuous feed or collection of data and an on- demand, accurate reporting.
Do You Remember? “One if by land, Two if by sea!” Critical information Coordination and planning High-quality information Information traveling at the speed of light Performance improvement Wasn’t purchased software or technology alone
