National Workshop 24th Annual RPIC Real Property Engage | Collaborate: Effective Relationships Throughout the Real Property Life Cycle November 15-17, 2011 Ottawa Convention Centre Partners Platinum Gold Silver Bronze Government Partners Welcome to the 2011 RPIC Real Property National Workshop! On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Ottawa and, in particular, the new Ottawa Convention Centre for RPIC’s signature event. The theme this year of Engage | Collaborate: Effective Relationships Throughout the Real Property Life Cycle was chosen to highlight the importance of engaging and collaborating with others in order to achieve success. This is often a critical component regardless of whether you are planning, acquiring, occupying or disposing of real property assets as well as being necessary on many different levels - within your team, within your organization, among departments, among other public and private sector organizations and with the public. The four streams of concurrent sessions draw attention to engagement and collaboration in various contexts: Achieving Successful Projects; Collaborative Approaches to Facilities Management and Space Accommodation; i-Tools & e-Methods; and Rural Lands and Small Communities: Partnering for Program Delivery. We have the ever-popular ADM Champion Armchair Discussion once again in the program and, this year, a second ADM Panel discussion has been added that focuses on Workplace 2.0. Ask the Experts is also back this year to ensure your questions are answered. We are very excited about a new addition to the National Workshop program – the RPIC i-Lounge – a place where you can relax and learn about the latest technology. We trust that you will find this year’s National Workshop engaging and informative. Please take the time to meet up with your fellow real property professionals to exchange ideas and information as that is what this forum is all about.

Best partnering practices allow that to be the case. This workshop will put two main tools in participants’ hands: a list of ten key decision factors for partnering; and a schematic model that clarifies the relationship between partners, the results expected from their collaboration, and the elements that need to be monitored. These tools apply to all types of partnering that a real property manager might encounter. Construction and building operations are only part of the picture. Among other forms are shared services and facilities, engagement with the surrounding community, participation in events, and corporate sponsorship of facilities and programs. This workshop will allow participants to share their experience and challenges and to apply the partnering tools to the types of engagement and collaboration that are of greatest interest to them. 24th Annual RPIC Real Property National Workshop Professional Development Day - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 Professional Development Sessions (Continued) Intentional Leadership Room 202 • Franklin Holtforster, President and CEO, MHPM Project Managers Inc. MHPM’s President and CEO Franklin Holtforster believes clients are looking for more than an effective project manager. They want a leader. Luckily leadership skills can be taught. During this workshop, Franklin will show attendees how to be an intentional leader. He will provide tangible skills that participants can incorporate into their job. He will cover presentation skills, communication skills – including email, leading teams and meetings intentionally and effectively, and more. But more importantly this is a hands-on workshop where everyone will have an opportunity to try and get valuable feedback. Communicating intentionally contributes significantly to being seen as an effective leader in any organization, regardless of role or function. Understanding and Identifying P3 Potential Room 203 • Naresh Debidin, Director, Business Development, PPP Canada • Carol Beaulieu, Director, Investment, PPP Canada Does your project have the potential to be a public-private partnership (P3)? First off, what is a P3? With the Government’s creation of a P3 Screen in Budget 2011, understanding P3s has become a necessary part of every capital planner’s tool kit. This one-day course will provide an introduction to the world of P3s with a goal of the participants leaving the course with an understanding of what defines a P3 and how to go about identifying whether your project might make a viable P3. Potential topics include: • What is (and what isn’t) a P3; • Differences between a P3 approach and traditional procurement; • Understanding the characteristics and benefits of P3 procurement; • How do P3s fit within the existing policy environment; and, • Applying knowledge through a case study approach - CSEC & IO Corrections Project. 24th Annual RPIC Real Property National Workshop Professional Development Day - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 Conflict Management Room 204 • David Jones, Performance Management Consultants Conflict is a part of life.
