Launch event for the Project Data Analytics Task Force. A collaborative venture to deliver a step change in project delivery performance.
The Project Data Analytics Task Force exists to facilitate a Project Delivery Transformation. However, the vision will only become a reality if we work collegiately. It is an opportunity for everyone, at every level to play their part.
Are you ever bored or distracted during webinars? Do you quickly zone out or leave if a presentation doesn’t ‘float your boat’? Maybe you stay just long enough to obtain the PDU code for a unit of professional development? We know some webinars can feel like a dirge. Death by PowerPoint, endless bullet points, shown on complicated impenetrable slides!
As projects proceed through their life-cycle, they create an exhaust plume of data that is a by-product of delivery. By pooling this data and applying advanced data analytics and AI, it can be analysed to develop predictive insights and recommendations, tailored to the phase and specific circumstances of a project.
But is project data analytics hype or reality? Only you can decide, but what is for certain, is that it is disruptive and could have a significant impact on your career in the way we deliver projects and how you work. Unfortunately, it is often shrouded in jargon and it all sounds very daunting. Within this masterclass, James provided a range of insights into:
Advanced project data science and analytics have the potential to change the face of project management and project delivery forever. But the project management profession is slow to catch on. Together, we can shape a new future; let’s make it happen.
Machine learning offers a huge amount of potential for project delivery professionals. It opens up a wide range of predictive insights that will transform our roles. We all have a responsibility to understand how we can leverage it to deliver projects better, whilst also understanding how it will impact our role and ultimately our careers.
This is part of a series of interactive webinars by James on project data analytics and it will cover the following topics:
We hope you get an opportunity to join us.
PMI UK Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation.
In our October meetup we will be hosting a panel session bringing together some of the leading minds in project management and project controls to discuss the impact of advanced data analytics and AI on their discipline.
There is a wide range of perspectives on how project controls will evolve. Some people believe that AI will provide additional tools to help existing project controls professionals. Others believe that the industry will be fundamentally reinvented through a more statistics and evidence driven approach.
Are we entered in a new era?
How disruptive will it be?
How will we need to adapt?
Will a new cadre of professional emerge?
What are the opportunities for data professionals?
Although we strive for diversity in our meetup, we often struggle - we have a lot of male speakers. So in this session we are delighted to be able to host an all female panel comprising the following hugely impressive line up.
An alternative approach to Risk Management delivered by someone who has been at the “sharp end”.
Based on experiences from both his military and civilian careers Tony will present, facilitate and co-ordinate this interactive workshop will allow attendees to consider a number of issues and to develop their own bespoke alternative risk management plan appropriate to their industry/organisation.
It is estimated that 1 in 4 people will experience mental ill health each year which anxiety, depression or panic attack in any given week.
This results in a challenge and also an opportunity for organisations to strengthen the mental wellbeing of their employees. Organisations that invest in strategies and proactively protect and care for the mental wellbeing challenges will reap the rewards of a robust and resilient workforce.
Whether large or small every project is done through people. Project Human Resource Management includes the processes that organise and manage the people who have assigned roles and responsibilities for completing the project.
PMI UK Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation.
Have you ever come out of a negotiation feeling you could have achieved more? We all negotiate daily – at home with our kids and spouse, at work with colleagues in our project team, and with customers
or suppliers. And, if we have international contacts, with different nationalities – which adds another important dimension we can’t afford to ignore.
In this highly-interactive session with Michael Gates we will look at a few general tips for negotiations where everyone comes away satisfied, at how different cultural types (according to the Lewis Model of Culture) typically behave in game theory experiments, and how we can use that knowledge to improve our outcomes. You will also get insights into communication, decision-making, and how to build trust, which you can put to immediate practical use.
Attendees will gain an introduction to a practical cultural model and how to apply it to negotiation, based on game theory research.
