Our Founder, Sam Houston, recently attended the prestigious Project Controls Expo UK in London, and what an exhilarating experience it was! Held at the iconic Wembley Stadium, this event brought together industry leaders and professionals to discuss the critical role of project controls in the delivery of mega projects.
Sam was honoured to participate in a panel discussion, hosted by Colette Ricketts of HS2, which included esteemed colleagues Charlene Chatelier, Lance Stephenson, Charlotte Hills, and Patric L. They delved into the pivotal role of project controls at the heart of mega projects, highlighting the importance of health and safety, particularly psychological safety, in ensuring successful project outcomes.
A key takeaway from the discussion was the transformative impact that a robust project controls system can have on mega project delivery. Sam emphasized that establishing a culture of psychological safety is essential for project controls professionals to effectively manage and report on project progress and risks, fostering an environment where innovative solutions and proactive risk management can flourish.
The expo also provided a wonderful opportunity for networking, allowing Sam to reconnect with friends and colleagues and forge new connections. The vibrant atmosphere of the event was further enhanced by the unique setting of Wembley Stadium, where attendees enjoyed the corporate boxes—a special treat that added to the memorable experience.
Sam extends his heartfelt gratitude to the organizers for their excellent execution of the event, which kept the community engaged and provided a platform for sharing valuable insights and practices.
As we look forward to future gatherings, Sam is eager to continue participating in these influential forums that shape the trajectory of project controls and mega project management.
