Professional services success isn’t about reacting faster. It’s about preventing problems before they happen.
In this session, DPM sits down with Joe DiPaulo, CEO of Accelo and Forecast, an Accelo Company, to explore how AI is reshaping professional services automation by giving leaders clarity and control before projects drift off course.
Through real-world insights and practical examples, you’ll see how Forecast embeds AI across planning, resourcing, delivery forecasting, and financial management to surface risk early, align capacity proactively, and protect margins before they’re compromised
Join us to learn how to use AI to:
Model capacity and role demand before locking in commitments
Spot subtle delivery drift early (before it becomes a post-mortem slide)
Prevent revenue leakage, scope creep, and margin erosion
Align the right people to the right work proactively
Strengthen human judgment instead of replacing it
