Seasoned project management consultant and researcher, Kelechi Igboekwe, has called on organisations to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) in project management, citing its potential to revolutionize efficiency, innovation, and risk mitigation.

Disclosing this in a media statement recently, he underscored the importance of adopting AI-powered solutions in project management.

According to Igboekwe, AI can automate routine tasks, provide predictive analytics, and enhance collaboration among team members, ultimately leading to improved project outcomes.

“AI has the potential to significantly enhance project management by streamlining processes, cutting costs, and boosting overall efficiency,” he explained.

Igboekwe also highlighted the need for project managers to develop skills that complement AI-powered solutions, in order to maximize their effectiveness.

“As AI takes over routine tasks, project managers must focus on developing skills that are complementary to AI, such as critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence,” he noted.

Igboekwe stressed the importance of data-driven decision-making in project management, and how AI-powered solutions can facilitate this process.

“AI-powered solutions can provide project managers with real-time data and insights, enabling them to make informed decisions and drive project success,” he said.

Igboekwe harped on the need for organizations to invest in research and development to stay ahead of the curve in AI-powered project management.

“Organizations that fail to invest in AI-powered project management risk being left behind by their competitors,” he warned.

He mentioned that AI-powered project management can help organizations to better manage risks, by analyzing large amounts of data and identifying potential risks.

Igboekwe elucidated the need for organisations to develop a strategic approach to implementing AI-powered project management, in order to maximize its benefits.
