Seminars
- Exploring how firms are leveraging cost histories, schedule data, and scope performance to refine estimating accuracy and improve future bids
- Discovering how analytics helps bridge operations and estimating, using project closeout data, material costs, and staffing patterns to inform planning and forecasting

CASE STUDY
Dashboards and insights only deliver value if they align with the needs of your internal customers, which is paramount when becoming a truly data-driven organization and retaining a competitive edge.
This session will explore how construction firms can design analytics that go beyond reporting to drive actionable insights, integrating stakeholder feedback to refine analytics.
Leave with a vision of how to:
- Gain stakeholder trust by explaining data sources, processes, and insights to address misalignment between perceptions and what the data show
- Establish methods to evaluate dashboard usage, identify high and low-value reports, and adapt analytics platforms to deliver what teams truly need for daily operations, decision-making, and resource planning
- Create an effective feedback loop between end users and analytics teams to develop iterative approaches to refine dashboards based on evolving needs
- Empower teams to create their own dashboards and reports aligned with their needs
