Topic: PROJECTS IN THE AGE OF INFORMATION AND AUTOMATION Speaker: Dr. Dean Kashiwagi Speaker bio: Renowned researcher in best value. Dr. Dean Kashiwagi has developed a “hands off” approach to managing contractors or vendors in any industry. His concept is contrary to the traditional project management model. It reduces the transactions of every participant and forces a "win-win" relationship. His program educates and assists partners in becoming a more efficient organization through measurement, accountability and transparency. He is the creator of the Best Value Approach (BVA). Dr. Kashiwagi has presented at 130+ national and international, and 100+ conference meetings. He has been in the industry for 25+ years researching and developing a project management technology that has been tested 2000+ times totaling $6.6 Billion ($4.4 Billion in construction projects and $2.2B in non-construction projects) with a 98% success rate since 1994 in 7 different countries and 32 states.
