⬛ 🔨 We’re breaking open the black box of our AI forecasting engine with our latest product feature: the Activity Correlation Explorer (ACE) 💥 Thanks to ACE, users of our Insights products can now see:  (a) how many activities contained within our dataset of 750,000 past project schedules influenced the AI-led forecast for the activity they’re investigating and… (b) how those connected activities within our dataset performed This helps the user understand why an activity has been flagged by our AI, and makes it easier for them to make the case for intervention with project delivery colleagues. It’s especially powerful when combined with other barn-storming Insights features including Risk Matchmaker and our Delay Causes Suggester. 🂡 Read more about ACE in Richard Bendall-Jones’s latest blog on our website - and then sign-up for a trial of Insights: https://hubs.ly/Q02_65PZ0

There can be only one! ☝️ A few weeks ago nPlan came through a field of 800(!) startups to be crowned the winner of Elia Group’s seventh Open Innovation Challenge 🎉 👑 nPlan was awarded the prize (€50,000 to roll out a pilot within the Elia group) “due to its many immediate advantages for transmission system operators” and its scalability. nPlan’s pitch was spearheaded by our trusty Commercial Director, Nick Williams; Elia have very kindly shared a video of Nick’s pitch with us, and today we’re sharing it with you! Our favourite quote? “Imagine a delivery team that's seen 750,000 past projects - imagine their ability - if they can avoid memory loss and bias in applying those lessons learned - to better manage risk and to better forecast and to seize opportunity.” 🤩 We’re incredibly excited to kick-off our partnership with Elia in the near future. In the meantime, watch and learn👇

Thanks to Project Controls Expo Australia for inviting nPlan to present to delegates in Melbourne again this year - we had a blast! 🇦🇺 🙌 📸 Pictured: nPlan CEO Dev Amratia presenting a summary of our work with the UK's Anglian Water to a packed house. The project controls scene in Australia continues to go from strength to strength and we're honoured to be part of it through our work, past and present, with Rail Projects Victoria, Infrastructure New South Wales, the Level Crossing Removal Project, and many more project owners and stakeholders 'down under' 🙏

👉🔘🚨 Don’t touch that button! At our recent Winter Event nPlan CEO Dev Amratia asked Anglian Water Services’s Euan Black what he’d miss the most if his access to nPlan Portfolio got switched off tomorrow. Watch the clip below for his surprising response, then head on over to our webinar site to watch the full interview: https://hubs.ly/Q02Zy70S0

Great to see the next, AMP8-focused, phase of our partnership with Anglian Water Services covered in New Civil Engineer! As Robert Hakimian writes, it's all about ensuring that the unprecedented level of investment determined by the water regulator for AMP8 is "utilised efficiently, without repeating prior instances of wastage." "Through its software, nPlan provides predictive insights derived from an extensive database of over 750,000 historical project plans. This allows for more precise forecasting of construction timelines, identification of potential delays, and better-informed decision-making regarding resource allocation. The technology’s ability to assess entire portfolios also enables users to identify broader systemic risks and ensure resource distribution is optimised." 🗞 Hit the link below to get the whole story 👇

💧This truly is a watershed moment for the UK water industry... Industry regulator Ofwat has responded to public calls to tackle storm overflows by recommending a “record’ £88 billion allocation of public money to sixteen water companies - more than trebling the level of investment undertaken in its previous investment period. 🦸🏻♂️ But with great investment comes great responsibility: water companies will shortly be expected to deliver more large-scale infrastructure projects, more efficiently, than ever before. The question is: what strategies, tactics and technologies will they use to do so? We don't have all the answers - but next week, on Wednesday the 20th of November, we'll be hosting a special webinar with someone who does: Euan Black, Head of Delivery Portfolio Management at Anglian Water Services. If you're a forward-thinking and forward-looking project professional this is not an event you'll want to miss, as a short demonstration of our latest product innovations will follow Euan's fireside chat with nPlan CEO Dev Amratia. Sign up by following the link to our TwentyThree.com event page, add us to your calendar, and we'll see you on the stream!
