APM Planning, Monitoring and Control SIG Conference 2021 - Project controls: but not as we know it Session title: Punchcards to Power BI - Managing change in the digital age presented by Jay Armstrong and Sanjay Nithiyanantham Tuesday 13 July 2021 The link to the write up page and resources of this conference: https://www.apm.org.uk/news/apm-pmc-sig-conference-2021-project-controls-but-not-as-we-know-it/ Presentation synopsis: As the digital age evolves, data science, automation and AI will increasingly disrupt and change the way we deliver projects. As project controls professionals we know that its often not what we do but how we do it that determines our success. How do we harness new and evolving technology to meet the needs of our teams in order to achieve success? How do we adapt the technology into our current processes and our overall process strategy to maximise efficiencies? How do we better engage with our teams to trust and go on this digital journey with us to curtail resistance? 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.
