Topic: Project Controls Best Practices with EcoSys
More than just cost reporting, effective project controls help to deliver success throughout the entire project lifecycle, from the very earliest stages of project selection and planning, through project execution and reconciliation of actual expenditures. In this free breakfast seminar, we discuss the best practices that make project controls more efficient and effective and help to predict outcomes and take corrective action.

Topic: The Top 5 Challenges to Effective Cost Controls (And How to Overcome Them)
Project success is maximised by access to timely information that can proactively shape business decisions. Expectations are growing higher, yet Project Controllers are facing increased project complexity, volatility and information dispersion. In this presentation, we discuss the most significant challenges to effective cost controls, emerging from organisational readiness to the design of processes and systems. Then we identify the solutions that organisations are implementing to achieve higher-quality information more quickly and to realise more successful projects.
