Discover how AI and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming the engineering and construction industries, specifically in the pharmaceutical and life science domain.

As we are joined by Richard Cairnes (LinkedIn profile) and Grant Bezuidenhout (LinkedIn profile) from the pharmaceutical and life science team at Currie & Brown.

During this webinar, Richard & Grant will explore the power of AI to process vast amounts of data rapidly, leading to informed real-time decision-making, increased efficiency, and enhanced value delivery to our clients.

They will delve into practical examples, such as the utilization of AI in Building Information Modelling (BIM) to create better visibility, improve decision-making, offer sustainable options, and achieve cost savings for our pharmaceutical and life science projects.

Moreover, Richard will discuss the application of AI in crucial areas like Health & Safety, where AI-driven technologies are reducing human error through the use of remotely controlled, driverless, or drone vehicles for hazardous tasks.

Sustainability is another domain benefiting from AI, aiding clients in reaching their BREEAM targets and enabling contractors to forecast carbon emissions during the planning stages of a project. AI is also instrumental in identifying the advantages of using different materials to achieve environmental benefits and carbon reduction.

This event is part of a series of activities aligned to supporting the healthcare, life science, and pharmaceutical sectors to ensure that individuals are equipped with the skills to deliver projects effectively.

The ability to think both creatively and critically is an invaluable skill set at the heart of effective problem-solving.

While at first glance creating and critiquing may seem like opposites, they are in fact deeply connected… and part of an ongoing generative cycle.

To solve challenging problems, we need to explore them holistically — to unleash our imaginations while also applying structure and discipline to our thought processes.

Topics Christa will cover in this webinar include:

• The intimate connection between critical thinking and creative thinking
• The importance of defining the right problem
• Common cognitive biases that can diminish innovation
• The difference between brainstorming and “brain swarming”
• Techniques for generating both convergent and divergent thinking

In the systems development traditions of the past, most people adhered to the concept that development should be done in discrete phases.

These were typically sequential: analysis, design, implementation, and testing, often referred to as “the waterfall”.

Agile processes reject this notion almost entirely, and so one question that often arises is: if there is no design “phase”, when does design happen?

Is there a role for design in an agile process?

In this webinar Scott Bain (LinkedIn profile) will address this question and introduce the concept of an “emergent” design process.

This will be an overview, with no technical knowledge or experience required.

Artificial Intelligence projects differ from conventional software projects in important ways.

The APM Benefits and Value SIG and Nuclear PM SIG  willdiscuss how to prepare for the demands of data management, QA, and stakeholder expectations.

They’ll discuss the challenges of hidden bias and artificial stupidity, and how they can impact project risk and compliance.

They will also break down the three major kinds of AI projects, discuss challenges specific to those, and share “Pro Tips” for handling them.

Their goal is an interactive discussion that helps project managers be more effective in the rapidly emerging world of AI-enabled organisations.

AI has been presented as a silver bullet to solve all problems, but the (very) public launch of ChatGPT (Microsoft) and Bard (Google) has highlighted that AI is suitable for some tasks and not necessarily all.  So what does all this hoopla mean for project managers?

They will explore:

• Three different AI project types
• Differences between leading a typical tech project vs. an AI project
• Special challenges you may face and what to do about them
• Real stories from the AI project trenches
• Pro tips for pioneering project managers

Sustainability has become a key parameter for organizations and this means that projects and operations have to be planned and implemented with this objective.

At the project level it may be difficult to bring in sustainability initiatives because often times the scope of the project is already determined or it is contractual.

To get a sustainability perspective one has to consider it beyond a project outcome and further this needs to be addressed by senior management. Therefore, an organizational level approach would be more appropriate.

This is where the Organizational Project Management or OPM comes in.

This approach would looks at outcomes not just at project but also at program level. It considers portfolio management to effectively implement the strategy of the organization.

In this webinar Raju Rao (LinkedIn profile)  will explore the use of OPM for Sustainability. Examples / Case Studies will be presented.

Learning Outcomes:

OPM

• What is Organizational Project Management?
• PMI and other standards on OPM
• Why OPM is appropriate to implement sustainability initiatives in an organization

Sustainability

• OPM and Sustainability -The Connect
• The Operational Link for OPM to enable sustainability
• Career paths for Project Managers
