What to expect during the event
This presentation will discuss how AI could provide a step-change in the ability to plan and control complex capital projects. It will first showcase the ability of AI-enabled processes to automate the collection, integration, and processing of project data from multiple systems and provide a single, reliable integrated reporting. Then, it will present how AI algorithms could learn from data of historical projects with different structures and provide unbiased risk and outcome predictions and data-driven decision-support from project planning to execution and post-construction. The audience will learn how AI could achieve significant cost saving, duration reduction, increase in risk precision, and reduction in PMO workload across multi-billion project portfolios in multiple sectors.
