Venue: 2022 AACE International Conference & Expo
Abstract: The AACE Fellows have hundreds of years worth of experience in all the cost engineering/project controls disciplines, and this session is an opportunity for Fellows to give back to the community.This year the war stories will all follow a theme of “Recovery and Mitigation Efforts that Went South”.
The session will include a Moderator (Carson), three Storytellers (Palmer, Hoshino, Ciccarelli), and a Doubter (Winter), all AACE Fellows.The three Storytellers will each provide three short war stories from their past projects, each of which will include two truths and one lie in their mix of stories, and the Doubter will question each Storyteller and provide challenges and objections in an effort to prove the stories to be lies while the Storytellers defend their stories.Then the audience will get a chance to ask follow-up questions and subsequently vote on whether the story is a truth or a lie.
In the past, the Storytellers had trouble coming up with lies that were more extreme than the truths, so the audience eventually just correctly voted "true" on all stories.The Storytellers were chosen this year specifically for their ability to come up with lies as unbelievable as the truths.Come armed with your lie detectors working.
