2018 Value Symposium / 2018 Symposium de la Valeur
Event Information
Description
Alberta is big sky country – and big idea country. Do you strive to deliver value in your work? Do you innovate? Do you educate? Do you seek out best practices? Are you creative? Are you inspired? Share your work with a group of people who are passionate about enhancing value for projects, products, systems, and processes at the 2018 Value Symposium in Edmonton, Alberta, October 17-19.
YOUR HOST: VALUE ANALYSIS CANADA
Value Analysis Canada’s mission is to promote the application of Value Methodologies in Canada for the benefit of Government, Industry, Practitioners, and Society. Our annual conference is an opportunity to share innovations and advances in adding value and improving performance. Value Analysis is a structured approach to innovation that reliably generates alternative solutions to problems. It provides methodologies and processes that can improve projects, lower costs, and fulfill functions. It does this by:
- Optimizing the use of resources by helping decision-makers balance key stakeholder needs with resources
- Achieving buy-in for change by providing a Value Analysis team with a common understanding of key needs and solutions
- Delivering services and infrastructure under fiscal and staffing constraints
THERE'S VALUE IN THE WEST
The last several years have seen incredible growth of the value methodologies in Western Canada. The recent establishment of the Value Analysis Canada - Western Group is only the most recent indicator. Between rapidly growing municipalities and a private sector that increasingly sees the need to incorporate Value Analysis into its operations and projects, there is great and growing need for value professionals on this frontier.
The 2018 Value Symposium will introduce attendees to the work being done in Western Canada, and will also feature speakers and value professionals from across Canada and North America.
