Carpe Diem! Be Prepared to Leverage the New “Industrial Revolution”
November 17/Webinar
Despite advances in technology, construction operations have not changed much in the past 100 years. Project outcomes continue to disappoint – projects take too long, cost too much, and often kill and injure too many workers. Over the past 25 years, Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery have emerged to challenge project management’s underlying assumptions and offer a different theoretical foundation. Coupled with advances in Building Information Modeling, the stage has been set for a new industrial revolution – “Industrialized Construction.” Through a combination of team integration, designing for production, and factory-based construction practices, projects are able to be delivered more reliably, with tremendous gains in speed to market, without sacrificing quality or cost. This session will explore the roots of lean construction and integrated project delivery, then provide a snapshot of the industrialized construction journey. It will offer a case study of the recent STAAT Mods effort of Boldt and HGA and provide a glimpse of the future – where construction is better, cheaper and faster. Webinar brought to you by WHA Corporate Member The Boldt Company.  Recording: This webinar will be recorded and posted, within 24 hours after its completion, to the WHA On-demand Learning Center. Here is a link to the On-demand Learning Center https://www.wha.org/On-demandLearning.  This webinars will be secure.

Prioritizing & Funding IT during a Pandemic
November 19/Webinar
Health care organizations have been acquiring technology for many years, and with new licensing models, the options have changed, and have become even more urgent during this pandemic. Software subscriptions, Software as a Service (Anything as a Service), Consumption Based Services, have blurred the lines between Capital and Operational funding. COVID-19 has accelerated the need to modernize and transform your IT environment. Please join us to learn some best practices for acquiring and funding modern technology initiatives so you can increase agility for your hospital and clinics during and after this pandemic. Webinar brought to you by WHA Corporate Member Nutanix.  Recording: This webinar will be recorded and posted, within 24 hours after its completion, to the WHA On-demand Learning Center. Here is a link to the On-demand Learning Center https://www.wha.org/On-demandLearning.  This webinar will be secure.
