program really to me it’s a formula of

program really to me it’s a formula of impact and formula of impact on success

impact and formula of impact on success

impact and formula of impact on success of projects success of leading executing

of projects success of leading executing

of projects success of leading executing and managing mega projects and I have a

and managing mega projects and I have a

and managing mega projects and I have a formula that I want to share with you

formula that I want to share with you

formula that I want to share with you and I will go in detail later on on how

and I will go in detail later on on how

and I will go in detail later on on how I see this formula work it’s P plus C E

I see this formula work it’s P plus C E

I see this formula work it’s P plus C E and B stands for people

and B stands for people

and B stands for people C stands for courage and E stands for

C stands for courage and E stands for

C stands for courage and E stands for experience

experience

experience so what combined those three together

so what combined those three together

so what combined those three together that to bring the formula of impact one

that to bring the formula of impact one

that to bring the formula of impact one way of sharing this with you I would

way of sharing this with you I would

way of sharing this with you I would like to talk about one of the mega

pointing on major verbs and flanges there and there was somebody translating

there and there was somebody translating

there and there was somebody translating it to me and he said do you know what

it to me and he said do you know what

it to me and he said do you know what verbs are these whose valves are these

verbs are these whose valves are these

verbs are these whose valves are these these are your valves these are valves

these are your valves these are valves

these are your valves these are valves and flanges we worked on busy time day

and flanges we worked on busy time day

and that study we did told us you don’t

and that study we did told us you don’t need these pumps then we went on to the

need these pumps then we went on to the

need these pumps then we went on to the next phase in the engineering phase we

next phase in the engineering phase we

next phase in the engineering phase we repeated the study and it told us you

repeated the study and it told us you
