Track 1: AI and Data-Driven Decision Making

Corporate memory and governance: Over time, as more projects use the framework, the organization develops a strong data-centric memory, reducing dependency on individual expertise alone and making processes more robust (especially important as an aging workforce in engineering and construction leads to knowledge drain upon retirements). Data Mining / AI Analysis: this framework set up the stage for project data mining and AI analytics by creating large quantities of centralized and integrated data. This will allow the project team to exploit current and future ai capabilities. Implementing this phase requires an organizational commitment to treat project data as an asset beyond the life of the single project. In practice, at project close-out, the integrated data environment can be “packaged” and migrated to a central archive. Data may need to be anonymized or sanitized if confidentiality is an issue, but key metrics and structures should remain intact. In time the company accrues a growing repository of integrated project data and lessons. This can underpin better front-end planning (leading to more reliable cost estimates and schedules for new projects) and foster a culture of learning. Thus, each project’s data feeds into improved execution of the next, creating a virtuous cycle of learning.
