#37 Craig Mackay, The AI Guy (Part 1)

The Sunday Lunch Project Manager - A podcast by The Sunday Lunch PM

Craig Mackay, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Sharktower AI With over 20 years of delivering projects and seeing too many failures, Craig is obsessed with tackling the waste in projects. Craig has spent his whole career delivering change; whether it be lean process efficiency, people change, software solutions, new product propositions or large scale technology transformations. Throughout this, he has been continually frustrated by the wasted effort (and investment) in project delivery. Whether it is caused by misaligned incentives, lack of outcome clarity, a "deliver regardless" mindset, working to governance milestones or siloed manual subjective reporting - the failure rate in projects is still too high. Too many projects are still managed by slide decks, sticky notes and gut instinct. He believes businesses can make better decisions and ultimately make the world a better place. He believes project delivery can be done better if we learn from our mistakes. He believes people could be using their time more effectively if aligned on outcomes. He knows the answer is the use of data to do this. It is time to make change delivery more data-driven. About Sharktower AI - software designed to remove waste and support enterprise agility so your business can make the most of change investment and outcomes.
