Synopsis
The historical experience of IT in projects might be best characterized as 'Computer Says No': messy legacy systems, software and systems incompatibility between organizations and little, and data quality that might generously be described as patchy.
Today, however, as the world of project delivery is becoming increasingly complex, digital transformation and AI is reshaping how we plan, manage, and execute initiatives.
This hybrid event explores the practicalities of using applied AI to enhance project delivery by focusing on the often-overlooked aspects of knowledge management.
The speaker will demonstrate how applied AI can bridge gaps in understanding between stakeholders, project teams, and objectives - critical for success in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
Using real-world examples, he will show how AI tools empower teams to work harmoniously, improve project alignment, and break down silos. Learn how new AI-driven tools enable real-time reporting, data capture, and enhanced collaboration to reframe project delivery for better outcomes.
Whether you're a project manager, IT specialist, or simply curious about the transformative potential of AI in project management, this session will provide practical insights and inspiration for leveraging AI to drive meaningful change.
The meeting agenda will be:
Introduction: The role of AI in modern project delivery.
Knowledge Management in Projects: Identifying the opportunities.
Practical Applications of AI: A new toolset for projects.
Reframing Project Delivery: Using AI to align focus on goals and improve outcomes.
Q&A and Discussion:Engaging with attendees to explore real-world implications.
