As organizations pursue their strategic goals, they likely maintain a project portfolio that is a mix of stable, definable projects built on proven procedures in addition to the more risky and undefined projects that are meant to create new products, services, or capabilities.

Project managers who can deliver results in an iterative fashion, with a high level of stakeholder involvement and increased customer feedback loops, are the first choice for these project assignments.  That is because they demonstrate facility with the new tools of the agile project manager.

Learning points covered in this webinar include:

• Picking the right methodology for the job
• Choosing what skills and relationships to enhance
• Understanding how project planning, tracking, and team management work in these hybrid settings
• Knowing your role in supporting organization change management

Discover how AI and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming the engineering and construction industries, specifically in the pharmaceutical and life science domain.

As we are joined by Richard Cairnes (LinkedIn profile) and Grant Bezuidenhout (LinkedIn profile) from the pharmaceutical and life science team at Currie & Brown.

During this webinar, Richard & Grant will explore the power of AI to process vast amounts of data rapidly, leading to informed real-time decision-making, increased efficiency, and enhanced value delivery to our clients.

They will delve into practical examples, such as the utilization of AI in Building Information Modelling (BIM) to create better visibility, improve decision-making, offer sustainable options, and achieve cost savings for our pharmaceutical and life science projects.

Moreover, Richard will discuss the application of AI in crucial areas like Health & Safety, where AI-driven technologies are reducing human error through the use of remotely controlled, driverless, or drone vehicles for hazardous tasks.

Sustainability is another domain benefiting from AI, aiding clients in reaching their BREEAM targets and enabling contractors to forecast carbon emissions during the planning stages of a project. AI is also instrumental in identifying the advantages of using different materials to achieve environmental benefits and carbon reduction.

This event is part of a series of activities aligned to supporting the healthcare, life science, and pharmaceutical sectors to ensure that individuals are equipped with the skills to deliver projects effectively.

Artificial Intelligence projects differ from conventional software projects in important ways.

The APM Benefits and Value SIG and Nuclear PM SIG  willdiscuss how to prepare for the demands of data management, QA, and stakeholder expectations.

They’ll discuss the challenges of hidden bias and artificial stupidity, and how they can impact project risk and compliance.

They will also break down the three major kinds of AI projects, discuss challenges specific to those, and share “Pro Tips” for handling them.

Their goal is an interactive discussion that helps project managers be more effective in the rapidly emerging world of AI-enabled organisations.

AI has been presented as a silver bullet to solve all problems, but the (very) public launch of ChatGPT (Microsoft) and Bard (Google) has highlighted that AI is suitable for some tasks and not necessarily all.  So what does all this hoopla mean for project managers?

They will explore:

• Three different AI project types
• Differences between leading a typical tech project vs. an AI project
• Special challenges you may face and what to do about them
• Real stories from the AI project trenches
• Pro tips for pioneering project managers

One of the most fundamental components change delivery is communication. Whether that’s the communications between project teams, to project sponsors or the impacted users, how effective we are as practitioners can have lasting impacts.

In this session, we are going to review how communication is used to set and manage peoples expectations to minimise the chance of perceived failure. Looking at case studies provided by APM and ChgMI practitioners we will explore the following considerations

1. What capacity does the recipient have and how should that shape our comms approach – Pertinence
2. How crucial is there action at the time we send – Proximity
3. How can we ensure what we communicated was received and understood as intended and how do we course correct.
