Reimagining Project Assurance: From Oversight To Continuous Confidence
Despite more reviews, more checkers and more controls than ever before, the performance of major projects hasn’t improved. Confidence is fragile, oversight expands and delivery capacity shrinks.
In this webinar, Martin Paver, Andy Murray and Michael Steinberg will launch “NextGeneration Project Assurance“, the latest book in the Next Generation series, and challenges one of the most entrenched assumptions in project delivery: that more checking equals more confidence.
The session introduces a new architecture for assurance. One that moves from episodic, compliance-driven reviews to always-on, adaptive, semi-automated confidence at source.
They will explore:
• Why the “assurance death spiral” forms and how to break it
• The five Orders of stewardship and how confidence travels or breaks across them
• The difference between trust and evidence-based confidence
• How AI and advanced data analytics can strengthen independence rather than weaken it
• What assurance at source looks like in practice
• A pragmatic mobilisation playbook for organisations ready to act
This is not about replacing professional judgement with algorithms. It is about restoring assurance as a strategic capability that enables earlier and better decisions in complex environments.
Designed for sponsors, SROs, portfolio and programme leaders, audit and assurance professionals, PMO directors and board members responsible for high-risk investment decisions.
• Insight into how AI can be governed responsibly within assurance systems
• A mobilisation playbook to begin transformation safely and incrementally
This session is particularly relevant for boards, audit committees, enterprise PMOs and senior sponsors responsible for high-risk portfolios.
