Conference description:
How will Project Data Analytics (PDA) change project controls in the future?
We all know that one of the key elements to successful project delivery is a robust project control system. But while many of these processes are well established, the ability to make maximum use of the resulting data has often proved challenging. But this is changing.
For those involved in project controls in any way, this conference shared the latest practical uses of PDA as well as a glimpse into the future!
The conference provided insight from a range of PDA practitioners as well as feedback from a recent Delphi research study on the topic.
PDA will be key to the profession as we look forwards, make sure you help us shape it to deliver what we really need

BT has been working with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK for more than six decades. In 1948 we helped the first hospitals with their telephone servcie., Our scientists also helped the NHS develop and produce what would become one of the first mass-market hearing aids. In the 1960s, our researchers eveloped a device that allowed people paralysed by polio and spinal cord injuries. to operate electrical equipment by sucking and blowing on a tube. Fast forward to the 1980s and we developed Life Pagers to help ensure that people needing vital organ transplants were never out of reach. But it didn’t stop there. The dawn of the information age created even more opportunities for the NHS. In 1998, we helped launch NHS Direct, the 24 hour helpline staffed by nurses. In 2002, we developed the Numbers for Babies service for the NHS. This ensures that within minutes of a baby’s birth midwives can obtain their all-important NHS number. And as I’ll go on to outline, we’ve played a huge part in the National Programme for IT, helping the National Health Service in the UK lay the foundations of eHealth to transform healthcare.. And we work with the health service to provide a range of other innovative products and services.
So the breadth of our work in health is extensive.We have a unique breadth of capabilities and the scope to operate globally, yet deliver locally. From delivering the largest and most complex IT projects to helping a small community healthcare centre, few companies have the experience, expertise, resources and staying power to work alongside healthcare providers anywhere in the world. We’ve got network, infrastructure, communications, applications experience.And experience of delivering local regional and national eHealth. And we aren’t just helping to improve healthcare in the UK. As an emerging player internationally, we’re looking to apply our expertise and experience to benefit healthcare providers and their patients worldwide.I’ll talk more about this shortly.
Healthcare providers around the world are facing the same problems...
