  • 1.  Integration of Technical and Financial Planning: A Universal Tool for Collaborative Work

    Posted 07-14-2025 11:11 AM

    The illustration shows the concept of a unified platform for planning and managing preventive and capital repairs, where technical and financial aspects are connected into a single system.

    ❓What do you think:

    - How important is a tool where specialists with combined competencies can work,
    - as well as professionals from different fields - engineers, estimators, planners, financiers - each in their role but on a common digital platform?

    Your opinions, feedback, and practical examples are highly appreciated.
    Best regards,

    ISO like value added services are helpful for mankind. Standardization may universal acceptance of the engineering production. Do you actually mean it. Networking of experts in the field go-ahead to assist the weaker sections.

    Hello Alex,

    Thank you for your thoughtful comment on the importance of standardization and networking experts to support weaker sections.

    I agree that universal acceptance and value-added services are key for advancing engineering production globally.

    I'd be interested to hear from you:

    • What standards or value-added services have you found most effective in your projects?

    • How do you see collaboration evolving between engineers, planners, and financiers in developing countries?

    • Are there any challenges you face in implementing such integrated digital tools?

    Looking forward to your insights!

    Best regards,
    Darya Stanskova

    Hello Experts:

    Just Immagin, a unifying formula that analytically can identify risks, considering dynamic variables that changes corresponding to the change of the developed plan. 

    What if I say it is possible and really exists, and can be use as abridge between both physical & financial aspects. Positioning between project developed plan and project updated plan. This position makes it more powerful and embedded, not only but will make it more dynamic and auto responsive formula, which is not exist in every where in any school or software of management yet.

    Immagin if this equation which is not usual, can :

    Enhance risk identification in for both physical and financial aspects

    Can minimize uncertainty in projects from early stage of planning:

    Can reduce costs and material waste or over runs

    Can enhancing scheduling by moving it from "Estimation" to "designation" 

    Can Unleash a new era of management "Protocols of actions", it looks embedded to the plan for non experts it may  seems static, but for professionals like you, may say " oh, it is more dynamic and full of life" 

    Realy, Daria you just opened the door for some thing novel, an very rare.

    Let's explore this further. The future of planning doesn't lie in tools، it lies in design logic that evolves.

    Hello Abubakr,

    Thank you for your inspiring and detailed comment! I appreciate your vision of a dynamic, embedded formula bridging physical and financial project aspects. Your idea of "protocols of actions" moving management from static estimation to active designation is fascinating.

    I would love to learn more about your experience:

    • How have you applied such integrated approaches in your infrastructure projects?

    • What are the main risks you see when linking technical and financial planning dynamically?

    • In your opinion, what features would make a digital platform truly "auto responsive" and effective for managing complex projects?

    Thank you again for your valuable perspective!

    Best regards,
    Darya Stanskova
