SPOTLIGHT ON INNOVATION: THE LAVA MAE X PANDEMIC PIVOT

LavaMaex is a nonprofit that teaches people anywhere how to bring mobile showers and other essential care services to the street, where our unhoused neighbors need them most. While providing its consulting services, LavaMaex also brings weekly mobile showers and other care services to the streets of San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles. When those activities became unsafe during the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization was able to leverage its network and resources in creative ways. We think it’s a powerful example of pivoting during a challenging time.

How a Project Manager Can Be Invaluable

It’s no secret that projects of any scale can easily become more complex than initially thought. Whether the project is new construction or a renovation, it can be really risky for an owner to manage all of the components themselves. It might be out of their wheelhouse, or perhaps they don’t have enough time to tackle it internally. This is where a Project Manager (PM) can be invaluable. A Project Manager will use their expertise to effectively manage all of the different aspects of the process, while keeping both internal and external stakeholders on track. This can save not only time, but money as well.
