In this episode of Navigating Major Programmes, Riccardo Cosentino sits down with Alan Mosca, CTO and Co-Founder of nPlan, to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and project management. Alan shares his journey, from founding nPlan in 2017 to transforming how major programmes forecast and mitigate project risks using AI-powered tools.

Alan dives deep into the technicalities of nPlan’s innovative approach to project scheduling, risk assessment, and portfolio management. Through real-world applications and fascinating anecdotes, he discusses how AI can turn vast amounts of project data into actionable insights, paving the way for more proactive and informed decision-making in the infrastructure and construction sectors.

“You think about like you're starting a business, right? You start from what's a problem that you want to solve. And so we started from the end effectively. Problem that we want to solve is: why is it that when humans say that they're going to build something or do a project it then almost invariably takes twice as long and four times the amount of money than you said it was going to take.” – Alan Mosca

Key Takeaways:

• How AI models like nPlan's transform static project schedules into dynamic tools that anticipate risks and propose proactive solutions
• How leveraging historical project data helps refine forecasts and improve project outcomes
• The role of culture in project success—aligning incentives and fostering transparency between teams and stakeholders can break down silos and create trust
• Unlocking efficiency with AI-generated schedules—could this give your team the edge in competitive bidding and execution?
