Capital projects consistently underperform in terms of budget, schedule, and value.  Stakeholders often lack confidence over the performance of their projects and programmes, and the transition to business-as-usual operation often fails to take advantage of the data and insight generated during the project implementation phase.  Data can enable and drive improvement as it has in many facets of our lives, with automation, digitalisation and AI now becoming the norm. 

It has quickly become a cheap commodity, easily created, and accessed.  However, capturing good quality, meaningful data to drive a completive edge, enable intelligence-led decision-making, helping to track and improve performance is today’s challenge for many organisations.  How do stakeholders obtain insights when served with an overwhelming volume of disorganised, poorly considered, badly constructed data?
