Topic: When Nobody’s Checking Your Homework An ymore (Presentation Announcement attached)

Presenter: Jeff Rude\, CVS\, Crawfor d Consulting – Senior Expert Services Specialist

Overview: USACE has essentially di smantled its Value Engineering program — the gates\, the sign-offs\, the warranted officers\, and the reporting system are coming down right now\, with a September 30 deadline — but the underlying obligation remains fe deral law. This session examines what that shift actually means for projec t teams: why losing the strictly controlled requirements frees Value from low-budget\, low-opportunity studies and returns it to solving problems an d moving projects forward\; why the absence of real-time enforcement creat es genuine exposure for projects scrutinized later\; how the codified\, st andardized methodology serves as defensible proof of structured problem so lving when formal gates no longer exist\; and how to deploy Value in reali stic\, modern formats that fit an already-packed design schedule.
