The intent being to assist better commercial performance and value for money across the board &amp;ndash; for all industries have to shape up in straitened times, and construction has a higher risk profile than most other sectors, so the task to succeed is perhaps harder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This very recent report was compiled by Navigant and McGraw-Hill and has found that there is scope to improve significantly the performance and profitability of constructors and clients; and have projects become affordable and fundable at an earlier point in the economic cycle of recovery than would otherwise occur with stronger returns for developers and investors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Join this event to hear more about the report and learn how significant a 20% saving in cost and risk (c. 15% available from budget controls alone) is in the context of tax burden and project affordability/business case.&lt;br /&gt;

Unless we are happy to see spiralling prices we need to increase the rate of investment and innovation in capacity. An efficient and effective response to this requires co-ordinated efforts across largely separate areas of policy and regulation. As it stands there are limited arrangements to enable this. Regulators have the power to facilitate or impede what may be necessary changes to avoid a crumbling UK infrastructure and at this Forum we aim to explore this proposition and develop ideas on what needs to change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will consider the following questions:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What new industry structures might be beneficial?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Under what circumstances might we see the re-emergence of the multi-utility?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What role should the supply chains play in the evolution of markets and structures and how can innovative capacity be increased?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;How much should companies seek to push statutory bodies to take a lead or should they try and do it for themselves?&lt;br /&gt;
From the regulators' perspective&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In which circumstances will changes in industry structure and contestability be justified?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;How should such changes come about?&amp;nbsp; Should regulators force them or leave them to the discretion of the businesses and their owners?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Do such changes inevitably lead to a loss of integration benefits?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;How can regulatory incentives encourage more flexible and innovative business and investor responses?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Are there aspects of sector regulation where closer convergence of objectives and approaches are required? &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Where and when might government intervention be needed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nick Pollard, Chief Operating Officer of Navigant&amp;rsquo;s Global Construction Practice is our chair and host for the evening. Chris Bolt, most recently Chair of ORR and PPP Arbiter, has agreed to share his thoughts and we have also asked Colin Matthews, CEO of BAA to contribute his experiences and perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event starts at 6 for 6.30pm and ends at 9pm. This will include the opportunity to talk informally over a glass of wine and refreshments.&lt;br /&gt;

Over the last five years, middle office outsourcing by asset managers in U.S. has increased by more than 25%. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During this web-based event, we will review the adoption of middle office outsourcing by asset managers in the U.S., discuss the benefits of outsourcing, highlight key legal considerations, and touch-on several potential pitfalls and how to avoid them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nigel Hill&lt;/strong&gt;, Managing Director Global Operations at Credit Suisse Asset Management, will share his perspectives gained from having executed a wide range of middle office outsourcing programs and provide attendees with lessons to consider when implementing similar programs.&lt;/p&gt;

But many utilities still keep DR in a silo of the DSM program group where system planners and grid operators have little input to program design and little confidence in the value of securing or dispatching the DR resource. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This paper proposes the hypothesis that common practices at U.S. utilities in developing and utilizing DR programs are insufficient to ensure the continued expansion of DR resources that will be used by system planners to defer alternative capacity investments and by grid operators as a substitute for the dispatch of peaking units. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Citing anecdotes from a variety of utility programs, the author makes the case that most utilities are not fully realizing the potential value of their DR resources.</description><pubDate>Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0600</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{01D37F62-E424-49FB-AC6C-E42A4886298F}</guid><link>http://www.navigant.com/sitecore/content/calendar_events/default_calendars/default_calendar/2012/02/21/assessment_of_change_under_nec/</link><title>The Assessment of Change under NEC</title><description>Ian Heaphy will conduct this seminar hosted by the Chartered Institution
