Value Engineering for the new generation
Do you think that the new generation will be interested in professional courses? professional training ? like value engineering , project management ,…..etc ? And joining professional organizations like SAVE International, PMI, ASQ and others?
My recent value engineering workshop, conducted Feb 2020,was a reason to discover that i had wrong thoughts about the new generation ! ….I’ve thought that they like only to spend their time.. playing PlayStation, mobile games,….etc . As they dream to make the world automated !!! without effort !!
But !!
Now i can say that I was wrong !
First of all,The new generation knows very well their true needs. They listen carefully but only if you have words that deserve the listening !! They are just more practical than we are.
Also ,the recent workshop organized by the SAVE Eastern Mediterranean & Africa chapter was a true challenge. We needed to gain the attention of engineers with wide backgrounds in their discipline (minimum 20 years), engineers that have a great position in a prestigious organization, and students from a university.
Apart from the difference of age, position and knowledge, all of them were able to use and apply the tools and techniques of Value Engineering . They were able to discuss and exchange ideas as well. The experts provided their vast engineering knowledge with the students and the students were a great source of idea generation.
Never hesitate to get the new generation involved! They represent the future….and we can learn more from them ..So it’s so important understanding their true needs and how they measure and evaluate value.
Interview with Dr. Jacqueline Fahmy
The interview was about the value engineering. It was to cover main points like : Why it’s necessary to apply the Value Engineering ? And How could we benefit from its application? Although , it was based on what the new generation think about value engineering ? And How could the value engineering qualify the new generation to better opportunities ?
Let’s connect via Facebook and linkedin to stay in touch and learn more about Value Engineering and how it could save money , time and efforts without sacrificing Quality. And how it could improve the functionality .
