Despite robust methodologies, sophisticated tools, and certified professionals, projects still fail—often for reasons that have little to do with planning techniques or governance structures.

This talk explores behavioural barriers in project decision-making, drawing on insights from behavioural economics, psychology, and real project cases. It challenges the assumption that project managers and stakeholders behave as fully rational decision-makers and reveals how biases, heuristics, and social dynamics quietly shape scope decisions, risk assessments, estimates, stakeholder communication, and escalation choices.

Drawing on transformation work with T-Systems, Halliburton, Shell, and multinational energy clients, Angel offers a transparent look at what it really takes to modernize legacy environments.

This session will explore how AI-powered DevOps can transform software development and delivery by automating tasks, enhancing real-time monitoring, and providing predictive insights for project managers.

Let’s be honest, checking off a project as “done” doesn’t mean it actually did what it was supposed to do. Sure, the boxes are ticked, the handover document is signed… but did it move the needle? Did it deliver real business value or just give us another fancy dashboard no one actually uses?
In today’s whirlwind of constant change, thanks to disruptive technology, organizations are launching transformation projects left, right, and center. But while the activity is high, the impact is often… low!

This webinar would help you flip the script, from focusing on deliverables to focusing on outcomes.
