Interview Project Management Expert – Daniel Scott
We’re excited to share our latest expert conversation with Dan Scott, Chief Data Scientist & AI Lead at WSP, where we dive into how AI is moving from theory to practical, measurable impact across real projects.
In this engaging discussion, Dan explains how AI is reshaping design, strengthening decision-making, and transforming knowledge flow across organisations while still keeping people at the centre.
Key Points Discussed:
- How AI reduces project “surprises” through earlier forecasting and risk detection
- Why generative tools enhance creativity, revealing design options humans wouldn’t consider
- How AI accelerates knowledge transfer in industries losing long-tenure expertise
- How decision-support models challenge human bias and strengthen strategic choices
