Build an effective project organisation design to optimise interfaces between internal functions and external teams, suppliers, stakeholders or customers.   Manage talent in a dynamic portfolio environment by sharing resources across multiple projects while minimising redeployment and turnover.

Create a seamless way of working for project teams and corporate finance departments to ensure project performance is managed correctly while still ensuring finance can still reliably manage and forecast the bottom line.   Ensure appropriate levels of project control and integration between project systems and ERP systems (such as SAP, Oracle, JDE, etc.).

Create streamlined processes and data flows between project teams and your corporate procurement, contract management, legal and supply chain organisations.  Ensure project requirements are met throughout the requisitioning, sourcing, bid, award, administration and close-out processes – while ensuring the scale benefits of enterprise strategic sourcing and the integrity of your supply chain processes.

Define and implement clear role definitions for project positions, describing the expectations of the role, required experience, education, training, skills, leadership capabilities, and motivators to ensure the right people can be selected and succeed in critical project roles.  Implement a talent development framework to create a more rewarding experience for your team members to build capability and progress toward their personal and professional goals.

Collect, manage and forecast resource requirements across your portfolio.   Ensure talent is being acquired, developed and retained to meet future needs using formal succession planning and leadership development programs.

Many executives and senior leaders ask the same questions, and face similar challenges.  “How do I know which questions to ask my project managers?”  “My eyes glaze over when I read a project report.”    “I’m tired of surprises.  How do I get the truth early?”  “What information do I really need to ensure my projects are on track?”   We help executive teams to be more effective in communicating with their project teams, and really take control of their portfolio.

Create an effective and fit-for-purpose governance framework for your projects, including an appropriate combination of internal and external reviewers to give you the confidence that your projects have been adequately planned and risks have been appropriately managed to deliver safe, predictable and competitive outcomes for your business.

Create the processes and systems you need to collect and re-use project data to improve the predictability and competitiveness of future projects.

Minimise surprises by implementing robust and fit-for-purpose performance management processes and systems to identify early warnings using leading performance indicators so you can make the right decisions and take the right action to keep projects on track.

Nearly 2000 individual applications exist to perform various functions in project and portfolio management. A wide array of integrated and best-of-breed products are available to help manage cost, schedule, progress, quantities, risks, documents, contracts, changes, decisions, actions, issues, etc.  We can help you leverage your existing systems investments and optimize the technologies that will best support your portfolio needs.

Building Information Management (BIM) principles and technology are not new in capital projects. Various platforms are available and being continuously improved to offer a wider array of capabilities. ProjectAI can help you configure and integrate 3D model data with other project data sets, creating a four- or five-dimensional view of your project over time. When connected with augmented and virtual reality technology, you can achieve a new level of planning and risk mitigation, which can carry on into operations, optimizing facility performance and asset maintenance.

Various enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms exist, such as SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, Microsoft Dynamics, etc. These systems become an imporant part of an organization’s DNA, but are not always designed to best suit the needs of capital projects. We can help you discover how to configure and integrate these platforms to best work with your project’s digital ecosystem.

At ProjectAI, we use the most advanced connected data solutions to harmonise project and enterprise data to create a growing platform of enterprise knowledge, ready to leverage the potential of machine learning and artificial intelligence to further improve project safety, predictability and competitiveness.
