Fantastic Second Day at 2024 ICEAA (International Cost Estimating & Analysis Association) Workshop in Minneapolis! The day started with fireworks when three Technomicians won major awards! Abby Schendt was recognized with the Technical Achievement of the Year Award. David Brown won the Educator of the Year Award. Rick Collins won the Frank Freiman Lifetime Achievement Award. We are proud of the fact that the company has now won 23 ICEAA individual and team awards, in addition to 21 ICEAA best paper awards! Later in the morning and throughout the afternoon, #Technomics paper authors impressed audiences with four more excellent technical talks. Alex Wekluk presented “From “Plan and Play” to “Sense and Respond”: War Gaming Defense Acquisition.” Austin MacDougall presented Advancing the Art of Cyber Cost Estimating.” Brandon Schwark presented “Portfolio Analysis Made Effective and Simple.” Aaron Everly, CCEA and Corey Maples, CCEA presented “Advancing EVM with a Modernized Framework.” But wait, there’s more! Technomics’ Cost Challenge Team composed of Kyle Bezold, Brittany Esser, Christina Kosmakos, Adam Lacerte and Tony T. presented their solution to the challenge problem, Estimating the Costs and Benefits of Cleaning the Great Lakes, to a panel of four judges who will announce the winner of the six-team competition Thursday morning. The team is feeling great about their performance and looking forward to the verdict. We also would like to congratulate our NNSA client, Dr. Charles Loelius, for winning the Management of the Year Award And, if that wasn’t enough, Peter Braxton co-instructed a training session on inflation, a module in ICEAA’s Cost Estimating Body of Knowledge.
