A Clearer Course: Gaining Real-Time Visibility Across Naval Programs

Naval program managers can't afford to be one spreadsheet behind. When delays in one system ripple across an entire platform, discovering the impact weeks later can cost valuable time, resources, and mission readiness.

As today's shipbuilding and modernization efforts become increasingly interconnected, program offices need more than periodic reports and disconnected tools. They need continuous visibility into schedule, cost, risk, and program dependencies to make better decisions—before small issues become major setbacks.

Join Daniel Friedman-Brown, Solutions Engineer at Lumivero, as he shares how leading organizations are improving portfolio visibility and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

During this webinar, you'll learn how to:

Visualize program interdependencies and anticipate downstream impacts before they affect delivery.

Create a unified view of schedule, cost, risk, and requirements data for faster, more confident decisions.

Identify and address risks earlier—before they cascade across multiple platforms.

Maintain the "golden thread" from strategic requirements through ex*****on milestones and leadership reporting.

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day with family, friends, and fireworks, we're reminded that the freedoms we enjoy didn't happen by accident—and they don't endure by accident either.

For nearly 250 years, generations of Americans have answered the call to serve, innovate, build, and protect. Today's maritime professionals carry that legacy forward every day. Whether you design the next generation of small craft, maintain mission-ready fleets, develop emerging technologies, support public safety, or stand watch on our nation's waterways, your work helps preserve the strength, security, and freedom envisioned by those who came before us.

That's why MACC matters.

It's where the people committed to protecting our nation's maritime interests come together to exchange ideas, share lessons learned, strengthen partnerships, and explore the technologies that will support tomorrow's missions.

In less than two weeks, those conversations begin in Portsmouth.

Before you head out to enjoy the holiday weekend, take a moment to invest in your professional future and in the continued strength of the maritime community you serve.

From all of us at the American Society of Naval Engineers, thank you for what you do, and have a safe and meaningful Independence Day.

We look forward to welcoming you to MACC 2026.
