Most project teams don't wake up one day and discover they're six months behind.

The warning signs were there all along.

In this clip from the iAPSCCยฎ AI & Industry Summit, . Josh Ramirez discusses how the right tools, methods, and schedule analysis can reveal project risks long before they become costly delays.

As he puts it:
"Your schedule was telling you that a year ago."

A powerful reminder that better forecasting leads to better decisions, stronger resource utilization, and fewer surprises at project completion.

AI can do more than analyze schedules. It can help improve the way we build them.

In this clip, Dr. Josh Ramirez explains how cognitive science concepts are being applied to planning and forecasting through Neural Plan, including recommendations for activity breakdowns, obstacle identification, and decision support.

The goal isn't just better schedules. It's helping people make better planning decisions.

The story everyone wants to tell about AI right now is the hare's story.

Peak valuations. Trillion-dollar keynotes. Data centers big enough to move local power markets. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ป'๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ต ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น.

A planner using a small, unremarkable model to clean up job plans. A coordinator surfacing the three failure modes everyone forgets. A workforce team making sure Bob's spreadsheet logic lives somewhere teachable before Bob retires.

Heavy industry has always been a tortoise game. Turnarounds planned months out. Capital projects that unfold over years. Maintenance strategies built on reliability curves that play out over decades.

Boring AI fits that tempo. A stock story doesn't.

When the hare trips, what will your organization have to show for its AI story: canceled pilots and glossy decks, or boring, durable capabilities that quietly made the work safer, more predictable, and more teachable.

What can a cognitive scientist and project controls SME teach us about the future of AI?

At the AI & Industry Summit, . Josh Ramirez shares how decades of experience in project controls led him to challenge traditional approaches to planning, forecasting, and schedule performance.

His perspective is helping shape new methodologies, new tools, and potentially entirely new disciplines emerging from AI.

A safe work observation isn't about catching people doing something wrong. It's about recognizing safe behaviors, identifying at-risk habits, and having constructive conversations that improve how work gets done.

When observations focus on blame instead of behavior, trust disappears, hazards stay hidden, and opportunities to improve are missed.

The future of safety isn't reacting faster. It's seeing risks before they happen.

In this summit session, Dale Shafer explains how AI can help identify patterns, scheduling conflicts, resource pressures, and hidden risks long before they reach the field.

Just as quality became built into manufacturing processes, AI gives us an opportunity to build safety into planning and scheduling from the start.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch the clip to hear why Dale believes AI can help make safety a built-in, not a bolt-on.

How did the 2026 AI & Industry Summit begin?

It started with a question: Where is our industry on AI adoption today?

That question led to the Horizon Reportโ€”a first-of-its-kind study gathering insights from practitioners, managers, and developers across the profession.

In this clip, John Crager shares the story behind the report and how it helped shape the conversations that followed at the summit.

๐Ÿ“‹ Take the survey: https://loom.ly/Lj4NOSQ

The best training decisions start with listening.

Before we build new courses, webinars, credentials, or learning experiences, we want to hear directly from the people who use them.

The new iAPSCC Member Learning Preferences Survey is now open.
Tell us: โœ… How you learn โœ… What gets in the way โœ… What skills you want to develop next

Because the future of professional development should be driven by member feedback.

"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I'll spend the first four sharpening the axe."

Shafer connects this timeless principle to project planning, showing how AI helps teams identify hidden risks, learn from both successes and failures, and build safer projects from the start.
