Everyone agrees digital project delivery works. There’s less rework, better coordination, more value for money. So why does the industry keep having the same argument about whether it’s worth it?

Host Pontus Bengtson sits down with Cillian Kelly of Sisk, who’s spent 15 years moving digital delivery from a handful of standout projects to standard practice inside a 160-year-old contractor. Pontus and Cillian get honest about the gap between digital teams and the trades, why public clients lag behind private ones, and whether we’ve simply been speaking the wrong language to the people who hold the budgets.

In this episode of Next in Transportation, host Pontus Bengtson speaks with Ólafur Daníel Jónsson and Péter Farkas from Verkis about why digital delivery works in some infrastructure projects but still has not become the normal way of working.

The conversation explores the gap between strong examples and everyday practice, from ISO 19650 and project setup to data, decision-making, AI, and the challenge of scaling lessons from large projects into mid-sized work. It is a grounded discussion about what is improving, what still holds the industry back, and why progress depends on making good practice easier to repeat.
