The experience of project delivery hold many of the keys for future project delivery improvement, but as a profession we struggle to leverage it.

Merv Wyeth will be facilitating this interactive webinar with Martin Paver, delving into a problem which has challenged our profession for decades.

• Does the evidence base provide sufficient impetus for change, and what does this mean for project professionals?

Organisations employ a variety of methods to leverage the knowledge and experience acquired from project delivery, often with limited success.

This perpetual struggle to ‘learn lessons’ represents a major obstacle to productivity improvement and value for money across the project delivery community.

Martin & Merv will explore a body of evidence to substantiate and challenge the status quo:

• Why is it is that we continually fail to optimise the return on our substantial investment in change initiatives?

The answer has historically been encapsulated in knowledge management and lessons learned, but is it reasonable for every project manager to acquire unlimited knowledge of every possible eventuality?

Or, does the answer lie in analysing project data and extracting value that has, until now, eluded us?

Will data analytics transform project delivery, and sound the death knell for the traditional role of project manager?

Or will the profession rise to the challenge and embrace the opportunities for improvement that data science and analysis provide?

Martin & Merv will explore ‘the art of the possible,’ as they demonstrate how to leverage experience from project delivery.
