SUMMARY:WIT Lean Practitioner Seminar Series 2017-2018 - 6th Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Combining Coaching with Lean provides a powerful framework that will develop your people to improve your business. Through a methodical coaching process\, levering scientific problem solving generates an action/learning cycle moving the coachee towards their desired outcome via small incremental continuous improvements.

Trevor will share some key learnings for context\, revealing a deeper understanding as to the difference when coaching the ‘What’ as opposed to the ‘Who’ of the coachee. Beginning with Building the Alliance\, the coach creates the contract with the coachee thus providing the framework for the required transformation change. Through frequent coaching cycles the coachee continuously improves towards the desired project outcome via small incremental improvements. \nAbout the speaker\nTrevor is a member of the ICF (International Coaching Federation) Ireland chapter. Currently in the process of obtaining his Associate Certified Coaching credential\, he lead-mentors on an ICF accredited Coaching Skills Programme and has received a Special Award at the ICF Coaching Awards in November 2017 in recognition of his commitment\, passion\, and dedication to coaching in Ireland.

SUMMARY:Digital Construction Summit 2018 - Can Ireland Lead Construction 4.0?
DESCRIPTION:Just as other sectors are embracing emerging technologies to aggressively deliver “Industry 4.0?\, the construction sector is exploring the potential of “Construction 4.0\,” a realm in which laser scanning\, drones\, real-time data exchange\, 4D executions and immediate field-to-office stakeholder communication will be the norm. \nDigital technology is transforming the way construction and infrastructure projects are designed\, delivered and operated. Ideas that were conceptual only a few years ago are fast becoming best practice across the world. Indeed\, Digital transformation within the construction industry is no longer an option but a necessity. However\, many in the sector\, as a result of internal resistance to change\, budget constraints\, skills shortages and a very fragmented environment\, still find themselves very much stuck in the slow lane. This needs to change. \nAt the 2018 Digital Construction Summit we will discuss the barriers that must be overcome to ensure the construction industry can effectively catch up with technical innovation and digitalization. We will assess what’s next in the digital roadmap towards BIM and what impact innovations like additive manufacturing\, robotics\, automation\, drones\, artificial intelligence\, VDC technology and IoT will have on the way in which building projects are planned\, funded\, designed and delivered. \nThe Summit will bring together technologists\, developers\, planners\, architects\, engineers\, contractors\, material and solution providers\, and other key stakeholders pivotal in the construction supply chain to explore best strategies and solutions to embrace digital transformation for a more productive and profitable future… \nIn short\, the summit offers the perfect opportunity for the entire construction industry ecosystem to come together to update on the latest technologies and discuss how they can be encouraged and used to make Ireland a leader in Construction 4.0. \nTopics to be discussed at the summit include: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe future of the built environment\nThe rise of Construction 4.0\nRoadmap to BIM\nThe LEAN journey\nRecreating our past and reinventing our future\nA new era for construction stills: how the digital agenda is driving new opportunities for skills and training\nLaser Scanning Techniques for Job Site Surveying\nHow to make the most out of advanced analytics\nInsights into next generation field technology\nConstruction industry IT support and real-time collaboration\nBig Data: Effective ways to control data overflow\nMaterial and equipment tracking with the latest technology\nAI for design and build\n\nThis event is designed for anyone in Ireland’s construction’s space. Attendees will include: \n-Engineers \n-Subcontractors \n-Construction management \n-IT professionals \n-Distributors \n-Infrastructure project leaders \n-Architects \n-Plant managers \n-BIM Managers \n-Buyers \nDigital construction professionals

SUMMARY:Certified ScrumMaster from Scrum Alliance
DESCRIPTION:The industry-recognised Certified ScrumMaster Training is the perfect building block to educate and certify your people. Through exercises and peer discussions\, attendees realise how much they rely on habits that lower productivity\, quality\, and return on investment. They also get to experience first-hand how a change to Scrum practises works and feels. \nThrough a mixture of class room study\, exercises\, pair discussions and real-world trainer experiences\, an attendee will learn how a Scrum project works and how to facilitate and coach a Scrum project. Techniques we will investigate include Vision Creation\, the use of the Product Backlog\, Backlog Formatting Techniques\, Story Point Estimation\, and how to use this to formulate a release plan. \nWe’ll learn about how Sprint Backlogs (the lower level of planning in Scrum) can work and we’ll experience it for ourselves in a case study. Many people struggle to get the Daily Scrum ceremony working effectively\, but you won’t – after hearing some of our primers for helping you maximise the benefit for the team from this key principle. \nYou will experience how to coach your team through planning and through the powerful inspect and adapt technique of retrospectives. How to report this information in a clear and simple format is the key objective of Burndown Charts – which we’ll discuss in depth. Finally\, you will discover our learning in how to apply Scrum to an enterprise environment. Scaling and distribution will be the key areas of investigation in this final session. \nWith a course content and delivery technique consistently rated as “Excellent” by our attendees\, our Private and Public CSM options should be considered an essential for any Agile training.

More recently\, the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations\, 2007 (S.I. No. 684 of 2007) have introduced an authorisation system for all local authority wastewater discharges\, the EPA being designated as the relevant competent authority. \nObjectives \nThis course will introduce participants to the skills required for efficient design\, operation and troubleshooting of the activated sludge process – the most widely applied technology for biological wastewater treatment. A knowledge of the basics of aerobic biological treatment processes is assumed.\nThe principal course objectives are to provide \n\nan insight into the more complex aspects of the activated sludge process\nan understanding of more recent developments\, including membrane technologies\, granular activated sludge and the removal of nutrients\n\nWho Should Attend \nThose who already have an understanding of the basics of biological wastewater treatment but wish to have a more in-depth knowledge of the design\, operation and performance capabilities of the activated sludge process. \nProgramme \n09.00 REGISTRATION AND TEA/COFFEE\n09.30 BIOLOGICAL NITRIFICATION AND DENITRIFICATION\n11.00 COFFEE/DISCUSSION\n11.30 PROCESS DESIGN AND VARIATIONS (SBR\, MEMBRANES\, P REMOVAL AND GRANULAR SLUDGE PROCESSES)\n13.00 LUNCH\n14.00 TROUBLESHOOTING AND PROBLEM- SOLVING METHODOLOGIES\n15.00 COFFEE\n15.15 MICROBIOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION\n16.15 DISCUSSION AND CLOSE \nFees: €395 per course\, including documentation\, lunch and refreshments.

SUMMARY:Training in Biological Wastewater Treatment - Aerobic Biological Treatment Processes
DESCRIPTION:The requirement for training and staff updating in the understanding\, management and operation of biological wastewater systems is ongoing and applies to industry and local authorities alike. Industrial wastewater discharges have long been subject to licensing under the Water Pollution Acts (1977 – 1990) and Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) legislation (arising from Directive 96/61/EC and the Environmental Protection Agency Act\, 1992). More recently\, the Waste Water Discharge (Authorisation) Regulations\, 2007 (S.I. No. 684 of 2007) have introduced an authorisation system for all local authority wastewater discharges\, the EPA being designated as the relevant competent authority. \nObjectives \nThe course will provide a basic understanding of the principles and practice of the various aerobic biological wastewater treatment processes. Some previous knowledge is desirable but not essential as this is a basic introductory course.\nThe principal course objectives are to provide \n\nan understanding of the practical design\, operation and monitoring of biological wastewater treatment systems\nan appreciation of the capability of particular systems to achieve compliance with existing and likely future legislation and licensing\n\nWho Should Attend \nThose involved in plant operation and maintenance\, laboratory analysis of wastewater parameters and in the general management\, supervision and control of biological wastewater treatment plants. \nProgramme \n09.00 REGISTRATION AND TEA/COFFEE\n09.30 PRELIMINARY TREATMENT AND DEFINITION OF TERMS\n11.00 COFFEE/DISCUSSION\n11.30 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF AEROBIC BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES\n13.00 LUNCH\n14.00 TREATMENT PLANT DESIGN WITH WORKED EXAMPLE\n15.00 COFFEE\n15.15 PLANT MONITORING AND CONTROL STRATEGIES\n16.15 DISCUSSION AND CLOSE \n€395 per course\, including documentation\, lunch and refreshments.
