AI is already changing how project managers work. Across organisations, we’re seeing improvements in project management efficiency of around 5-10%, primarily from documentation, analysis, and reporting. While these gains are very real, they are only the beginning.
The real opportunity lies beyond small efficiency gains. AI can help make project management more strategic, more value-creating, and more people-centric – making the project manager role even more important and more exciting.
To realise this potential, the project manager’s AI ‘teammate’ must have:Â
- Strong local context knowledge (e.g., company process maps, organisational structure, important KPIs, project or initiative setup)
- Project management expertise (not just a mix of general ‘best practices’)
- Project-specific input provided by the project manager and/or project owner
Only then can the AI ‘teammate’ produce high-quality outputs that strengthen strategic dialogue and free up time to create change and value.
This event will explore:
- AI’s potential in project management: what we expect to see in the near future.
- The context needed to succeed: how to equip an AI ‘teammate’ with the context it needs to produce top-quality work.
- Where to start: designing the project to create value. The most defining moment in the life of a project is its design – so we really need to get it right.
- A sneak peek into the future – AI teammate demo: we look forward to showing you our own brand-new AI ‘teammate’, and how you can reduce project and benefit scenario simulation time from days to minutes.
AI enables project managers and organisations to create significantly more value, for example, by making project scenario simulation, benefits estimation, and change impact assessment faster and easier. This shifts the project manager role towards more strategic and value-creating work.
We look forward to welcoming you to the first event in a series on AI and the future of project management.
