This presentation will explore how AI is providing a step-change in the ability to plan and control capital projects by learning from historical project data to
predict risks and outcomes. Drawing on over seven years of AI implementation for project management across infrastructure, data centres, pharmaceuticals
and water sectors globally, this talk will demystify common misconceptions and offer a practical framework for developing and executing an effective AI
strategy in project management, to deliver measurable business value, transitioning beyond mere “nice-to-have” tools. Additionally, it will address common pitfalls in AI adoption and strategies to mitigate them, ensuring successful integration and long-term impact. Through real-world case studies from Ireland, Europe, and Saudi Arabia, this talk will explore how AI empowers project management teams at every project stage – from early planning to procurement and controls.
