5 Reasons Why Capital Projects Fail—and How AI Can Help

High-value, high-complexity projects—spanning large-scale industrial investments to pharmaceutical innovation—continue to fail at unacceptable rates. The root cause is rarely technical. It is systemic.

Organizations are often structured around operations, while their most critical value creation happens through projects—leading to weak prioritization, fragmented decision-making, unclear ownership, and limited transparency.

Join Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, CEO & Founder of Projects & Company and co-founder of the Strategy Implementation Institute, as you explore the structural causes behind capital project failure—and how a more integrated, project-driven approach, combined with purpose-built AI, can improve decision-making and execution outcomes.

In this interactive session, Antonio will also respond to live questions—bringing practical, cross-industry insight as he shares a real-world perspective from working with senior leadership teams at organizations including Nestlé, Google, L’Oréal, KLM, ING, and public-sector initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Americas session - May 19 @ 11 a.m. ET
