CII Global AWP+ Conference: Advancing Project Delivery – Decision Making in Action

What to Expect

This year’s program is designed as a progressive journey toward collective action that advances project performance across the industry. At its core, the conference brings to life an AWP+ approach; integrating AWP, Lean, PPM, construction best practices and digital enablers to improve how decisions are made across the full project lifecycle.


1. Foundations – Building a Common Language

Alignment around the core principles shaping modern project delivery through a series of interactive masterclasses:

• The fundamentals of Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and structured execution
• The role of digital project delivery, integrated data, and connected workflows
• How AWP, Lean, and Project Production Management (PPM) and construction best practices come together as part of an Advanced Project Delivery approach

Inform, challenge assumptions, create alignment, and establish a shared language across all roles.

2. Understanding the Challenge – Setting the Direction

Industry context and strategic perspective; inspiring keynotes and leadership sessions:

• Performance Advancement Targets (PATs) and what they mean in practice
• Leadership behaviors and decision-making discipline for predictable outcomes
• Cross-industry lessons demonstrating how high-performing sectors consistently deliver results

Challenge current ways of thinking, spark reflection, and create alignment around where the industry needs to go and why.

3. Decisions in Action – Learning Through Reality

Interactive panels, real-world mini case studies, and hands-on breakout sessions, real project scenarios, and critical decision points across the full lifecycle.

Structured sessions built around real decision moments and a simple question: “What would you do?” — an environment where decisions are explored, challenged, and unpacked collectively.

Practical, experience-based insight into how decisions shape outcomes—and how to apply AWP+ thinking

4. Advancing Performance – Leading What’s Next

Technology and AI shape decision-making in live projects:

• AI transformation of tools and decision making
• Real-world applications of digital innovation and smart tools
• High-energy, interactive formats such as “Shark Tank”-style sessions

Forward-looking perspective on how technology and innovation are accelerating better, faster, and more aligned project decisions.

5. Call to Action – Turning Insight into Momentum

Launch point for continued progress – aligned, connected and ready to act.

• Align on key decisions and priority actions
• Identify opportunities for ongoing collaboration across organizations
• Connect with communities, initiatives, and efforts that will sustain momentum beyond the event

Community & Connection Woven Throughout
Structured networking and connection moments engineered to create meaningful interaction, cross-pollination of ideas, and real industry connection.
