Today organisations in the E&C industry are facing challenges that are jeopardising the success of their project:
-Inefficiencies & delays being caused by a disconnected environment
-People, disciplines, departments and systems, all working in isolation
-Lack of consistency across cost and schedule

Why are we behind
on earthworks?
Is there enough
money to cover the
new expansion?
Is the cost of
concrete higher
than planned?
What is our
progress based on
quantities installed?
How does this
progress compare
to last month?
I want to see this
based on vendor,
not package zone!
What schedule
activity is this
forecast based on?
How do I remove
these 3 columns so
that I can forward?
On this package, he’s being paid
based on materials delivered to
site, not installed. I forgot to
append the notes. Sorry.
Your data shows Contractor
as 47% complete but you’ve
approved payment for 72%
of his contract value. Why?

If I could see this grouped
by schedule, with contract
commitments as second
grouping, I could make
decisions faster!
So, if we worked less hours than
planned this month and we’re
behind on the MDF assembly,
how does this affect our
forecast at the package level?
That’s a red flag. I need to
drill into both contractor
and design driven changes
on this package.

Hinweis der Redaktion
Do compiler and consumer think the same way?
Needed because report consumers not licensed to use tool
Trust accuracy. human entry (when source tool exports), read, re-enter (roll up xls).
Talk through reality of what they can now do with accurate data. Everyone on same page, accurate data, enabling the discussion out of the gate without spending hours agreeing the data.
Because of this process, how many reports that you NEED are you NOT actually bothering with, because it’s too hard basket. This process is forcing you to focus on just one report.
Current process today is based on PEOPLE not PROCESS, 7 lenses of the same data = not good. Use Graeme quote.
