As the first employee at Enstoa, I have participated in over 100 system implementations since our inception in 2007. In my experience, the capital projects team has been the most expensive cost center per employee. Their technology needs are seldom understood and are often overlooked. These teams go by various names such as physical assets, facilities management / real estate, design and construction but their primary objective is to manage the construction and maintenance of all revenue generating assets.

What-ifs - I love doing "What-ifs" and "Time Impact Analyses", even risk workshops; they break the drudgery of the dreaded monthly report.

Enstoa's Vice President of Engineering, Kay Bosompem, explains how using objective tools can help capital projects management teams avoid missed opportunities.
