Don’t we all wish we could be on “that” project team? Of course we do! As an Emerging Leader, you have options. You are part of a collective group of people who use their “superpowers” to increase efficiencies, translate data, and improve processes.
Maybe you think it is time for a new challenge and you want to be a part of a team that is either building new structures or modifying existing ones. Perhaps you are trying to decide between a brownfield or greenfield project. What is the difference?

Brownfield projects use existing facilities and infrastructures. Modifications are done such that the facility is fit for purpose. Depending on the age of the structure, previous use, land condition, and community, the project could be relatively simple or very complex. Greenfield projects are built on sites that have not been previously used. The designer and clients can create something that meets status quo or defies the imagination.
I’ve worked on both types of projects, and each brings its own unique challenges. In the end, I contributed to ensure that the companies could increase capacity, extend reliability, and harness the benefits of new technology.
There are several opportunities to learn about FOYA projects at the 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo including the FOYA Banquet and Awards Celebration on Sunday 13 October.
You should also plan to arrive to the conference early and participate in the Hackathon. During the Hackathon, you work in cross-functional teams to resolve issues and complete a continuous improvement project or a project that requires a new approach.
