Turnkey Projects Management ~ Strategic Management ~ Quality
Creative Strategist and Leader offering an Impressive Experience of 30+ Years in Commissioning & Execution of Turnkey Construction Projects and Generating Substantial Cost Advantage with effective Technical and Managerial Inputs

________________________________________
My attributions like a Project Manager/ Project Director are in all the different Projects the same and eventually with some adaptation to the specifics characteristics. But is common to my activities is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project, his goals and his objectives.
I understand a project like a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, usually to bring about beneficial change or added value.
The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business and usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce the same effects, respect the design and follow the client objectives.
In practice, for the management of these projects I have used different methodologies and every time adapted to the local conditions.
For this, each project requires the development of distinct technical skills and in this sequence the adoption of separate management abilities.
Displayed credentials in planning and supervising the entire project right from preparing the road map, scoping, planning, scheduling, defining technical specifications, reporting and documentation, budgeting and cost estimates, tendering, commercial operations and coordination with team members & clients, etc. and monitoring to ensure project accomplishment within defined time/cost parameters.
