Ireland Chapter of PMI launches AI Innovation Hub
The Ireland Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) ha announced the launch of an artificial intelligence (AI) Innovation Hub.
Developed to serve as a central hub of AI expertise and education, it will equip the project management profession with the knowledge and skills to integrate AI technologies across their organisations.
By enabling project management professionals to leverage AI in their roles to better manage AI projects, the hub will deliver efficiency and automation to organisations. It will also help to address the challenges associated with AI usage, from ethics to governance.
In turn, companies of all sizes and across all sectors will be empowered to adopt and implement AI – which has the potential to support innovation, boost competitiveness, and drive growth.
This initiative ties in with the significant investment that PMI has made globally in AI over the past 18 months. This includes the creation of an AI platform called PMI Infinity, an AI-powered project management solution designed to strengthen expertise, streamline complex tasks, and maximise project success.
Sponsored by business and IT consultancy emagine and set to officially launch on 13 February, the AI Innovation Hub in Ireland will host a number of events throughout 2025, from lunch-and-learns and webinars to hackathons. These hackathons will see project management professionals deploying AI tools to address specific challenges.
Overseeing these activities is an AI working group within the Ireland Chapter of PMI, led by Declan Foster, the newly appointed Head of the AI Innovation Hub (pictured).
The Ireland Chapter of PMI hopes to further grow this group from its now 3,500-strong membership base.
Peter Glynne, President of the Ireland Chapter of PMI, said: “AI is such a hot topic and there’s a lot of talk around it. The aim of our AI Innovation Hub is to cut through that noise and guide the project management profession through this time of AI change, whilst supporting them to deliver AI change over the coming years. Through collaboration and education, we want to help drive real impact with these fast-evolving technologies across all sectors.
“The reality is that every industry needs to be across AI and tuned into the latest developments, such as agentic AI. By tapping into such trends – not just from a knowledge-sharing perspective but practically in our day-to-day jobs – we can enable AI innovation and leadership for the profession, for other sectors, and for Ireland as a whole.”
