Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the way projects are planned, governed and delivered. Yet the most successful complex projects continue to depend on distinctly human capabilities including judgement, leadership, stakeholder engagement, ethics, communication and decision-making under uncertainty. 

APM's latest project management skills research* highlights a growing concern that organisations may overvalue technical AI capability while undervaluing the human skills that remain critical to project success. The research suggests that future project professionals will need to become orchestrators of intelligence, combining human expertise with AI-enabled insight rather than replacing one with the other. 

This exclusive APM and ICCPM roundtable will bring together leaders from across government, infrastructure, defence, construction, energy and transport sectors to explore: 

How do we successfully integrate AI into complex projects while strengthening rather than weakening human capability?

The event will produce a jointly branded thought leadership whitepaper establishing APM and ICCPM as leading voices in the future of project delivery. 

Event Objectives

• Strengthen the APM-ICCPM Partnership 
• Demonstrate the complementary strengths of APM's professional standards and ICCPM's expertise in complexity leadership through a high-profile joint initiative.
