COAA Webinar: The Problem Isn’t the Project. It’s the System Built Around It.

Capital projects struggle not because teams lack skill or intent but because the systems around them are too complex, too rigid, and too slow to adapt. Every new build or renovation ends up bogged down in configuration, manual workarounds, and misaligned expectations between campus and contractors. This webinar will examine how institutions are rejecting bloated project management setups in favor of tools that support the pace, transparency, and adaptability today’s campuses demand. We’ll explore how leading teams are reducing admin load, scaling processes across departments, and bringing visibility to every phase of the build without months of setup or expensive customization. If your system creates more admin than insight or your workflows change every time a new project starts, it may be time to rethink what’s really slowing you down.

• Identify how complex systems create project delays and misaligned expectations.
• Discover how to scale processes and reduce administrative burden without extensive setup or costly customization.
• Learn how to improve project visibility and transparency across every phase of a build, from campus teams to contractors.
• Evaluate alternative project management approaches that prioritize adaptability and speed over rigid, complex systems.
