Recommended Practice 133R-23: Using Decision Analysis Methodologies to Enhance Decision Quality

Earn 0.1 CEUs!

 

Join AACE for the latest Recommended Practice Spotlight webinar: 133R-23: Using Decision Analysis Methodologies to Enhance Decision Quality on January 28 at 11:00 AM (Eastern US). This webinar will be hosted by Kim Forbes, PSP and features presenters Dr. David T. Hulett, FAACE and Dr. Harry D. Saunders.

 

This recommended practice (RP) of AACE International defines the use of the discipline of decision analysis (DA) to structure, analyze, and generate stakeholder decision buy-in and commitment to important organizational decisions, whether made by a team, group or individual. It illustrates how modern decision analysis methods can be applied broadly to making decisions on projects, programs, and at the enterprise level in the presence of uncertainty.

 

Registration is free, but required. Attendees will earn 0.1 free CEUs.

Free Webinar

WPC Presents: Work/Life Harmony for High Performers

NOTE: This webinar will be presented in Arabic

 

Join AACE's Women in Project Controls Committee for this free webinar: Work/Life Harmony for High Performers on January 12 at 12:00 PM (Eastern US). This webinar, moderated by Dr. Rania Fayed, will feature presenters Dr. Somaya Bahy Eldin, Haya S. Saleh, PSP, and Sawsan Al-Khadhra.

 

High-performing professionals are known for delivering exceptional results—yet the constant push for excellence can create stress, imbalance, and burnout if not managed intentionally. In today’s fast-paced environment, success is no longer just about productivity; it’s about sustaining performance while maintaining personal well-being.

 

Join us for an insightful session designed to help driven professionals achieve work/life harmony—a dynamic state where career goals and personal priorities support, rather than compete with, one another. This webinar will explore practical strategies to optimize energy, set boundaries with confidence, and build sustainable habits that enhance both performance and fulfillment.

 

Registration is free, but required.

New Member Spotlight Article

Pratham Rao

 

We truly value our members and getting to know them better. In the latest New Member spotlight article, Pratham Rao was asked what he likes most about being an AACE member:

 

"What I appreciate most about being an AACE member is the accessibility of the community and resources. There is always someone willing to share their experience, answer a question, or point you toward helpful materials. I also value the opportunity to attend section meetings, webinars, and conferences, where I can hear real project stories, stay updated on emerging practices, and gradually build a professional network that spans different regions and sectors."
