Rethinking Capital Project Delivery
Agentic AI–Driven Strategies for the New Era
What if energy majors didn’t just build assets, but built systems that adapt, evolve and accelerate value over time?
Rethinking Capital Project Delivery challenges everything we take for granted about how mega-projects are scoped, funded and executed. In a world of accelerating change, static delivery models fall short. This book introduces a new approach, adaptive, Agentic AI-enabled and product-driven. From digital twins to agentic AI, discover how leading organisations are shifting from “build and forget” to “build to evolve.”
Smart systems, modular design and continuous learning aren't future trends—they're here now. This is the playbook for capital project leaders ready to rethink risk, value and performance in the age of complexity.

About
About the Book
Rethinking Capital Project Delivery: Agentic AI-Driven Strategies for the New Era is a bold reimagining of how large scale capital projects are conceived, designed and delivered in an age of rapid technological change. Drawing on insights from frontier sectors like aerospace, energy and advanced manufacturing, this book makes the case for moving beyond rigid, legacy delivery models and embracing an adaptive, product centric mindset.
At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful idea: capital projects can no longer afford to be “one and done.” In a volatile world, the most valuable assets are those designed to evolve. Through real world case studies, cutting edge examples and strategic frameworks, the book explores how agentic AI, digital twins and modular design are enabling continuous delivery, learning and optimisation, at scale.
Whether you're an executive overseeing mega projects, a strategist navigating energy transition or a technologist building the next generation of infrastructure, this book offers a fresh blueprint for delivery. It challenges assumptions, demystifies emerging technologies and provides practical pathways to create more resilient, intelligent and value-generating systems.
Rethinking Capital Project Delivery is not just about doing things faster or cheaper, it’s about doing them smarter, with agility built in and future readiness by design.
