Planning Capital Projects from the IT Perspective

Long before the first shovel hits the dirt of any school construction or reconstruction project, the technology leadership team must be brought to the table (perhaps even the head of the table). Tech leaders see capital projects through a different lens, and this webinar will explore in detail the benefits of incorporating their guidance early and often. Lewellen will represent the compelling data collected from brand new research conducted about the role technology leaders play in construction projects, and Dayton and Mozdzierz will provide the first-hand experience of construction projects they've guided as a technology leader. Together, the presenters will provide a roadmap for how to save money and time, facilitate a collaborative construction team environment, and avoid long-term frustrations about the final product.

Learning Objectives

  1. Gain a high-level overview of best practices in collaborative building project teams from a technology perspective, including valuable data against which they can benchmark their own schools' practices.
  2. Have direct interaction with an experienced thought leader in the realm of independent school technology. He will share his real-world examples of how collaborative capital project planning can result in stronger educational outcomes for tomorrow's learners.
  3. Walk away with realistic lessons learned, opening the door to participants being able to immediately reframe their approach to construction projects upon returning to their school environments. We'll share proven techniques for championing early involvement of technology leaders and explore the potholes a school may face if they don't integrate technology early in the planning stages.
  4. Know where to turn for help when facing their next major capital project.
