This latest paper in the Windsor Summit Series shares insights from subject matter experts on how businesses can gain value from AI and use it to improve project delivery.

Between 2023 and 2025, the use of AI in projects nearly doubled, with 70% of project professionals in the UK now saying their organisation uses AI to deliver transformations. Furthermore, 92% of C-suite leaders also say their company is using AI in some capacity. But this high adoption isn’t always resulting in desired outcomes:

• 31% of leaders whose business uses AI say it’s having no impact or a negative impact on productivity.
• 56% say it’s having no impact or a negative impact on their bottom line.

Research by APM and the CBI has found businesses that rate themselves highly for delivering project objectives on time and within budget are more likely to describe their project management function as strategic. However, research has also found only 16% of business leaders view their company’s project management function in this way. More than half (51%) describe it as operational. 

Furthermore, business leaders who integrate projects and project management principles into their strategies all report benefits from doing so. These typically include:

• Clearer understanding of roles and responsibilities
• Increased adaptability
• Better risk management.

Megaprojects – large, one-off projects that rely on collaborative working between temporary partners – pull together different organisations to ensure successful delivery. This makes their delivery a very different proposition to other types of project.

This paper is based on discussions that took place at APM’s Windsor Project Summit, featuring contributions from the experts leading some of the UK’s biggest megaprojects, including the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, which is the government centre of expertise for project delivery. It shares insights on set-up, governance, managing complexity, learning from other projects and knowing what success looks like.

Geopolitics, economic shocks, digital transformations and other global risks are redefining how leaders approach adaptability. But what distinguishes the strategies (and organisations) that successfully adapt and deliver change from those that don’t?

The complexities of the modern world are evolving beyond the well-known VUCA model (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) to consider the internal impact of change, alongside external factors. Modern leadership must likewise evolve to keep up by grasping the internal: adaptability, creativity and – crucially – being human. These traits are essential for leading change in a disrupted world.

Megaprojects – large, one-off projects that rely on collaborative working between temporary partners – pull together different organisations to ensure successful delivery. This makes their delivery a very different proposition to other types of project.

There are often substantial risks involved, due to size, scope and complexity. But megaprojects also drive innovation around technology, process and problem-solving.
