APPLYING PRODUCT MANUFACTURING PRACTICES FOR MEGA PROJECTS

Mega projects are not just larger versions of typical construction efforts—they are fundamentally different in scale, complexity, and impact. Delivering these massive undertakings successfully requires a radical shift in thinking, strategy, and execution. Traditional construction methodologies often fall short when applied to projects that span years, involve thousands of stakeholders, and carry billions in investment.
This session explores why mega project delivery demands a distinct approach. We’ll examine how complexity obscures priorities, making it difficult to identify what truly matters. We’ll discuss the critical role of high-quality data—not just for tracking progress, but for enabling informed decision-making across all phases. Most importantly, we’ll highlight the need for integrated execution across disciplines, organizations, and geographies, and how leadership must evolve to orchestrate this complexity.
Attendees will gain insights into:
• The systemic differences between mega projects and conventional construction
• How to drive more sustainable outcomes through design, construction, and material selection
• Why mega project controls and governance need a manufacturing mindset
• The importance of a design strategy around Desing for Manufacturing Logistics and Assembly
• Strategies for aligning execution across diverse teams and stakeholders
