The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is at a pivotal point where traditional project management and controls are converging with rapid digital transformation. This panel will explore how current practices in project controls and project management are evolving through the adoption of innovative technologies such as automation, data integration, AI-driven analytics, and collaborative digital platforms. The discussion will examine the effectiveness of today’s processes, highlight practical challenges in implementation, and showcase how emerging tools can streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and enhance project outcomes. Looking ahead, the panel will also explore what the future of project delivery may look like in a fully digitized environment, where automation, predictive insights, and connected ecosystems become central to shaping efficiency, sustainability, and resilience across the AEC sector.
