Project models and digital transformation

Making complex projects simpler
Complex projects require more than traditional methods. We integrate digital transformation into every aspect of project management — from AI, to digital transformation by projects, and transformative digital information.

Our researchers draw on expertise across the University of Sydney, including computer science, data science and medicine, to understand areas of application such as asset management and mega projects.

We offer customised collaborative frameworks, such as competitive grants, to ensure efficient engagements and meet your needs. 

1. New AI methods for project delivery and governance

Using artificial intelligence (AI) and other innovative technologies to improve project delivery and governance

In the face of growing complexity, this subtheme focuses on using data-driven approaches and novel technologies to support decision-makers in conceiving and setting up complex projects. 

We are leveraging generative AI, natural language processing (NLP) and other state-of-the-art analytical technologies to make project analysis and delivery more efficient.

2. Digital transformation by projects 

Projects that implement digital technologies enabling organisation transformation  

Digital transformations are ambitious, complex and high risk.  The aim of this subtheme is to improve the performance rate of digital transformation projects through improved leadership and governance.  

3. How digital information transforms the project model 

Complex projects, and how they are transformed through the use of digital information 

Within complex projects that deliver complex products and services, digital information is now pervasive. How does this digital information transform the project model? This subtheme aims to help project leaders to improve productivity and innovation in projects by providing methods and insights that support them in asking strategic questions about how projects can be designed to deliver better using digital information.

As the computational devices used in all aspects of project delivery are becoming progressively smaller and cheaper, digital information is changing what projects deliver, with information becoming itself a deliverable.
