About Project Controls Expo UK 2024
Update - August 2024: Dev Amratia has once again been invited to speak at the Expo this year. He'll be presenting a case study of our work with Anglian Water alongside AW's Head of Delivery Portfolio Management, Euan Black. Their talk entitled, 'Sailing through portfolio reviews on a tide of historical data: how Anglian Water is using AI to quantify portfolio deliverability and risk', will take place in the Case Studies Zone on Wednesday the 6th of November at 2:15 pm.
A report by McKinsey states that 98% of megaprojects face cost/schedule overruns or delays. The reasons include flawed performance management, insufficient risk management, missed connections (lack of planning) amongst a few others which lead to loss of control on projects; missed deadlines; delayed phased completions; incurring penalties; incurring payment delays; erosion of stakeholders' trust and finally, with public projects, poor justification of taxpayer's money. Another report by PWC suggests that worldwide infrastructure spending will grow from $4 trillion per year in 2012 to more than $9 trillion per year by 2025. Overall, close to $78 trillion is expected to be spent globally between 2014 and 2025.
This calls for more enhanced dialogue between government, industry and professional bodies to come together to share lessons learnt, best practices and engage more collaboratively for successful project delivery. Project Controls Expo, started in 2010, offers this platform where a wide range of industry players (Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Pharmaceutical, Infrastructure, Construction, Government, Defence, etc) and professional bodies (APM, ACostE, ICEC, AIPM, PMI, AIQS etc) engage with a range of professionals and technology providers for the development/advancement of the profession.
