The conversation looks back at the hurdles they faced, from disparate tools to inconsistent processes, and shares practical insights into their digital transformation journey. Plus, we look ahead to the future of PPM, discussing the exciting role AI could play in public sector project delivery, alongside key considerations around data security and responsible use.
