About
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming knowledge work—expanding capacity, accelerating execution, and reshaping traditional constraints. This raises an exciting and important question:

How does Critical Chain create even greater value in an AI-enabled world?

In this pre-conference webinar, Dr Alan Barnard explores how AI shifts the constraint landscape—and why constraint thinking becomes even more essential as technology advances. Rather than replacing Critical Chain, AI may amplify its impact by increasing the need for clarity of priorities, focused execution, and sound decision-making.

This session sets the stage for a deeper leadership discussion at the conference.
