Most large infrastructure projects still finish late and over budget. Not because of a lack of skill or effort, but because the system has grown too complex for any human team to fully manage alone. Only 6% of megaprojects hit both their cost and schedule targets. That is not a people problem. It is a systems problem.
In this session, Greg Lawton, CEO of Nodes & Links, presents a forward-looking vision for what project controls and the PMO will look like as AI moves from assistant to operator. Drawing on data from over 21,000 projects and half a million hours of schedule analysis, Greg walks through a five-stage roadmap. From where most PMOs sit today, to a future where intelligent systems continuously sense, analyse, and act across schedules, costs, and risks.
Attendees will leave with:
- A clear framework for understanding where AI fits into existing project controls workflows, without the hype
- A practical view of how the scheduler and project controls professional's role evolves, and why it is a step up, not a step out
- Real results from live projects: schedule compressions measured in months, tighter forecast accuracy, and what "always-on assurance" looks like in practice
This is not a session about technology for its own sake. It is about what it will actually take to consistently deliver the infrastructure the world urgently needs, and the central role that every project professional in the room will play in getting there.
