Financial Management w/ FMI

Financial management is a hallmark of great organizations. Collections, billing, cost management and ethical profit maximization are not the sole province of the controllers and CFO’s. In fact, all company and project team members of firm have a stake in strong financial management.

The session will demystify financial concepts and reporting methods to help project team members and other non-financial team members understand how a project is managed profitably. The session will also review how a job cost report is just one leg of an income statement for a firm.

The goals of this session include:

  • Understand the fundamentals of sound financial management, from
    the project to the firm
  • Create an instinct for being a “Business Manager”
  • Identify the controllable costs that “move the needle” for any firm
  • Understand how financial instruments are affected by job cost
    changes, change orders, labor productivity, cash collections, among
    other factors.

Participants will learn:

  • An understanding of the economics of productivity and financial management
  • An opportunity to examine best practices that drive productivity
  • How to develop critical implementation approaches

This course is intended for key field leaders and project managers who are
leading project teams and have responsibility for project results.

Effective Negotiation Workshop

Please join ICANE for a Negotiation Workshop with Dan Barrett of Maxim Consulting.

Purpose: Prepare participants to understand and effectively manage the negotiation process with a principled approach and commitment to long-term relationships.

Goals: The primary goal is to help participants manage negotiations more effectively by teaching them to prepare, conduct and review negotiations, and to be aware of a variety of negotiation styles and processes that may be encountered. Through a mix of presentations, interactive discussions, case studies and personal reflection, participants will:

  • Develop a shared understanding of a negotiation
  • Learn about the concepts of a principled negotiation
  • Understand the fundamental elements of the negotiation framework outlined in the acclaimed book Getting to Yes.
  • Through case studies developed by the Harvard Negotiation Project, participants will have an opportunity to practice their negotiation skills with exercises designed for in-class and between sessions.
  • Demystify the negotiation process to reduce the natural anxiety most people feel when placed in a “negotiation” and recharacterize negotiation as a common occurrence.

Course Structure: This course will be six hours long. Participants are strongly encouraged to read Getting to Yes prior to the course to ensure a complete understanding of the course materials.

Speaker Bio: Dan Barrett is a Director with Maxim Consulting Group. Grounded in two decades of construction industry experience, spanning engineering to executive roles, Dan is passionate about helping people develop skills to be strong negotiators and effective communicators.
