Most conference sessions on AI in project management demonstrate tools and the efficiency gains from them. I argue about something else: what these systems are actually good for and why most organizations use them only for the smallest possible thing.

My talks and presentations come from the same position. Automating status reports and meeting notes saves time and changes nothing. However, the value lies in seeing what a project is doing before it becomes obvious, and whether you get there depends far less on the tool than on the data beneath it and the judgment of the people using AI tools’ output.

That argument lands with audiences who have already bought the tools and are quietly unsure what they got.

Topics I speak on

Why we gave AI the paperwork. What project teams are actually doing with AI, why efficiency is the smallest value gain, and what changes when you use these systems for decision-making rather than mere document processing.

The data behind the forecast. Every AI output about your project is based on data somebody has chosen. What that means for the risk scores and delivery forecasts for your projects, and how to tell that you are dealing with robust numbers that you can rely on.

Calibrated trust. How project and change leaders can judge what an AI output is worth for the decision in front of them, without becoming data scientists.

How Artificial Intelligence will improve Human-Led Capabilities. Highlighting the key (non-technical) success factors for a journey to data-driven project delivery practices, incl. which skills project managers need to acquire to take full advantage of data and AI capabilities in their projects..

Formats

Keynotes, conference sessions, and closed-door workshops for PMOs and leadership teams. Sessions run in English or German. I tailor the material to the audience’s own delivery context.
