Join us for a Virtual Section Technical Meeting 

The Project Controls profession is at a defining moment.

Organizations no longer need professionals who simply report cost and schedule performance. They need leaders who can anticipate risk, provide strategic insight, influence critical decisions, and help deliver business value in increasingly complex project environments.

This presentation explores the evolution of Project Controls from a technical support function to a strategic leadership discipline. Drawing on more than three decades of global experience leading multibillion-dollar capital projects across the energy, mining, infrastructure, and industrial sectors, Akin Oni shares practical strategies for developing the leadership mindset, executive presence, and business acumen that distinguish trusted advisors from technical specialists.

Participants will discover how to translate technical expertise into organizational influence, communicate effectively with senior leadership, and position Project Controls as an indispensable contributor to project and enterprise success.
