The advent of Generative AI is redefining the boundaries of creativity and markedly transforming the corporate landscape. One of the pioneering technologies in this domain is the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Combined with advancements in LLM (Language Model) has emerged as a notable player. LLM offers two primary interpretations: firstly, as a machine capable of generating highly plausible texts in response to specific directives, and secondly, as a multi-lingual knowledge repository that responds to diverse inquiries. The ramifications of these technologies are widespread, with profound impacts on various industries. They are catalyzing digital transformation within enterprises, driving significant advancements in research and development, especially within the realms of drug discovery and healthcare. In countries like Japan, Generative AI is heralded for its potential to bolster creativity. The value generated by such AI-driven innovations is estimated to be several trillion dollars annually. Intriguingly, about 75% of this value, steered by creative AI applications, is predominantly concentrated within customer operations, marketing and sales, software engineering, and R&D. These applications are pivotal in enhancing customer interactions, generating innovative content for marketing campaigns, and even crafting computer code from natural language prompts. The ripple effect of these innovations is palpable in sectors like banking, high-tech, and life sciences. However, as with every innovation, there are certain setbacks. For instance, the traditional business model of individualized instruction, as seen in the context of professors teaching basic actions, is on the brink of obsolescence. Looking ahead, the next five years pose pertinent questions about humanity's role amidst this technological evolution. A salient skillset will encompass the adept utilization of generative AI, paired with the discernment to accept or critique AI-generated outputs. Education, as we know it, will be reimagined. The evaluative focus will transition from verifying a student's independent work to gauging their ability to produce content surpassing their AI tools. Generative AI's disruptive nature will compel us to re-evaluate human value, reshaping the paradigms of corporate management and educational methodologies

From Amazon to Google, top technology firms have embraced data science and machine learning to improve business outcomes. Yet AI adoption beyond these firms has been slow due to obstacles such as hiring talent, heterogeneous data, and compute infrastructure. Larger firms have built teams to tackle these issues with some success, but small- and mid-tier firms are at a distinct disadvantage. AI as a Service is a paradigm that levels the playing field and empowers businesses across the spectrum.

We have critically evaluated how AI will shape integration use cases, their feasibility, and timelines. Emerging Technology Analysis Canvas (ETAC), a framework built to analyze emerging technologies, is the methodology of our study. We observe that AI can significantly impact integration use cases and identify 13 AI-based use case classes for integration. Points to note include: Enabling AI in an enterprise involves collecting, cleaning up, and creating a single representation of data as well as enforcing decisions and exposing data outside, each of which leads to many integration use cases. Hence, AI indirectly creates demand for integration. AI needs data, which in some cases lead to significant competitive advantages. The need to collect data would drive vendors to offer most AI products in the cloud through APIs. Due to lack of expertise and data, custom AI model building will be limited to large organizations. It is hard for small and medium size organization to build and maintain custom models.

How would AI shape Future Integrations?

APM Webinar hosted by the North West Branch on 18 October 2023. Speaker: Dr Michala Techau Addressing the why, when, and how to use Reference Class Forecasting (RCF) as a method to predict uncertainty in major project planning and delivery. The key reason behind cost and schedule overrun is underestimation of risks, and the root causes of underestimation are optimism and political bias. This webinar was held on Wednesday 18 October 2023. https://youtu.be/Shl5r1wTzxc https://www.apm.org.uk/news/reference-class-forecasting-useful-method-or-random-number-generator-webinar/ Oxford Global Projects has vast experience of working on the risk assessment of complex and uncertain major capital projects. Our research shows that these projects are more likely to experience overruns in time and cost than underruns, and that the potential magnitude of overruns is likely to be greater than the magnitude of underruns. Thus, for large capital projects, the norm is over budget, over time, under benefits, over and over again, The founder of OGP, Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, has named this the “iron law of megaprojects” - and we argue that it is crucial to build a strong evidence base to de-bias cost, schedule, and benefit estimates to derive clear, actionable recommendations for de-risking capital project delivery. RCF is a method for systematically taking an outside-view on planned actions. The method is used to make explicit, empirically based adjustments to estimates that prevent estimation biases such as optimism bias. To be accurate, these adjustments should be based on data from past and similar projects calibrated for the unique characteristics of the project at hand. The basic idea of RCF is that we answer the questions: What was the actual cost and schedule performance of past similar projects? How risky were they in terms of how much their cost and schedule changed in comparison to their original estimates? How do the cost and schedule performance of past relevant projects compare to your project, and what is your project’s risk of overrun? What contingency is required to provide the level of certainty you require that your project will not overrun? The talk highlighted typical misconceptions about RCF, and put them to bed. Challenges, causes, and cures for major project performance will be illustrated with case studies from the transport, energy, and the built environment sectors. The talk concluded with a Q&A session and an open discussion on how RCF is potentially more important than ever, in relation to addressing our impact on the environment.

APM webinar hosted the South East Branch on 27 September 2023. Speaker: Marion Thomas This Webinar explored the art of engaging in difficult conversations, equipped project leaders with practical strategies and insights that align with the principles and practices advocated by the APM Body of Knowledge. Marion Thomas, experienced PM, speaker, certified coach, ChPP mentor, and trainer in leadership, led this discussion. We explored how to engage in those challenging conversations that are often necessary for project success whilst also protecting ourselves professionally. As project leaders, we understand the importance of effective communication and how it can significantly impact project success. However, sometimes, we find ourselves faced with challenging conversations that require finesse and skill to handle. In this talk, we delved into the art of engaging in difficult discussions while also safeguarding our professional integrity. Throughout the project lifecycle, project leaders often encounter situations where they must initiate or participate in tough conversations with various stakeholders, customers, team members, and other involved parties. These conversations may range from addressing conflicts and disputes to becoming the messenger of undesirable news that can expose us to potential backlash. On the other hand, some project leaders may intentionally introduce a level of non-hostile positive conflict to encourage innovative thinking and creativity within the project. In this engaging session, we provided valuable insights and actionable strategies to empower project leaders to navigate such challenging conversations effectively. Our expert speakers shared practical tips on how to approach these situations with confidence, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the project and our colleagues. https://youtu.be/GraQYcSgcQI https://www.apm.org.uk/news/navigating-difficult-conversations-on-projects-webinar/
