Description:
This
webinar provides a project management overview that can be applied to
all types of library improvements that will help you achieve your
system’s objectives. You will be presented strategies for effectively
communicating your project goals to a design and construction team and
will leave with the tools necessary to prepare a detailed needs
assessment and project scope. Charleston County Public Library’s Project
Manager Toni Lombardozzi, who has a background in architecture and
construction project management, is currently overseeing a $108.5
million capital improvement project that includes small renovations to
larger-scale new construction. Lombardozzi has spent the last six years
on the project and will share insights into the cross-discipline
experience of working closely with both library staff and design and
construction teams and provide tips and tools on how to make this type
of communication effective. This presentation is geared towards anyone
with an upcoming improvements project, but the project management
strategies presented can be applied to a wide range of ventures not
limited to construction. Those that have worked on design/construction
enterprises before will find innovative ideas for successful project
implementation and those that are new to this practice will learn the
groundwork for efficiently advancing projects.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Successfully prepare a viable needs assessment and develop a detailed project scope;
- Given
a capital improvements project, attendees will be able to accurately
translate project goals and objectives to consultants, design and
construction teams;
- Will have the tools to create practical strategies for successful project implementation within their organization; and
- Given
a capital improvements project, attendees will be able to effectively
identify project deliverables throughout progressive project stages.
Who Should
Attend: Attendees with upcoming capital improvements projects
including facility upgrades, renovations, and/or new construction (not
limited in scope or size) will find this presentation timely.
Presenter:
Toni Lombardozzi has
most recently found her home working with the Charleston County Public
Library on a $108.5 million capital improvements project. Combining
fifteen years in the design and construction industry and the latest six
years specifically working with libraries, Toni can share a unique
cross-discipline perspective on the realities of translating library
needs into physical spaces. She is passionate about libraries and the
essential services they provide to the community and isn’t shy about
making sure her team gets what they need out of a project. Staff enjoy
working with Toni, often citing her high-energy and overall dedication
as motivation for their own projects. Toni’s enthusiasm and humor compel
audiences to stay engaged and laugh while they learn. Her presentations
leave attendees with practical tools and a focused mindset that they
can bring back to their organizations. When she’s not on a jobsite you
may run into Toni hiking a backcountry trail or paddling her kayak down a
creek, but always with a book in her backpack.
