Presented by:
Andrew D. Mendelson, FAIA, EVP, Chief Risk Management Officer, Berkley Design Professional

Monday, October 16, 2023

Andy Mendelson, FAIA, executive vice president and chief risk management officer, will be presenting at the 2023 ACEC Fall Conference in Austin, Texas on Monday, October 16.

Andy will present “Risky Business: Making the Go/No-Go Decision on Design-Build Projects”.

Session Description

Because Design-Build is a more risky form of project delivery, it is essential to establish a Go/No-Go process to objectively evaluate your opportunities. Analyzing and understanding the conditions of the project and the capabilities of the design-build team are critical to making informed decisions in the pursuit and implementation of these projects. This practice-focused workshop addresses the identification of key factors in making the Go/No-Go decision on Design-Build projects, and offers a flexible yet strategic approach that encourages active thought and discussion to reach a reasonable conclusion.

Presented by:
Diane P. Mika, Senior Vice President, Risk Management Officer, Berkley Design Professional

Tuesday, October 17, 2023

Diane Mika, senior vice president and risk management officer, will be speaking at Deltek ProjectCon 2023.

***

Change challenges the basic premise of project management: the control of resources to meet a certain objective by a specific date within a finite budget. Scope creep happens when there is an expansion of services provided without a corresponding increase in the design professional’s fees or recognition of additional risk exposure. The good news is that while change is inevitable, scope creep is not. This session will help you learn the triggers for change and how to manage the change process to maintain your client relationships—and your firm’s profitability.
