Members Invited to Provide Input for PM Training Program
The DPC SIG Professional Development Team (PDT) is preparing a RFP (Request for Proposal) for an Advanced Project Management Training Program for the benefit of our members. The first step is to survey our members and identify their training needs and requests. The next step will be for the PDT to develop the RFP, which will be distributed to as many consultants and training institutes as possible. The PDT will then select the best consultant(s) to develop the detailed course curriculum.
To understand our member's interest of Topics/Subjects, we are announcing an online survey.
Please click here and enter your preferred subjects as part of survey. Please complete the online survey no later than 31 January, 2008.
We also welcome you to contact the PDT over the email (profdev@dpcsig.org) for any concerns, comments, and/or suggestions.

Here's a Recently Posed Question
In the United States, various professional organizations (i.e., AIA, AGC, and
EJCDC) have developed standard contract documents, but each is written from the
specific organization's point of view. Recently, a consortium of organizations
collaborated on a set of contract documents called Consensus DOCS, which is creating
quite a lot of press. (See ENR 5-Nov-2007). I'd like to know what other countries
have standard contract documents, who developed them, and are there competing
alternative documents? View
the answer provided by our SMEs.
Are you familiar with the Construction Quality Management (CQM) program? Would you be willing to talk about how the project management framework will integrate with CQM? This would be the basis for an article for the DPC SIG’s publications, and potentially for a white paper. Appreciate any help you can give. Please contact me – Valerie O’Keeffe-Short, vccommunications@dpcsig.org.
