AI in Project Management: Insights from Croatia 
The technology of artificial intelligence has become an integral part of everyday life, extending its influence into various business aspects. The concept of artificial intelligence in project management has been discussed since the 1980s, portraying AI as a tool with the potential to expedite, optimize, and enhance project management, aiding decision-making processes. Project management stands as a pivotal process in nearly every organization, and the integration of artificial intelligence into this process can offer numerous advantages, such as heightened efficiency, precision, speed in decision-making, and improved risk assessment.
Data from Eurostat in 2020 indicates that only 6% of businesses in Croatia used some form of artificial intelligence in their operations, reflecting the limited adoption of this technology in the business sector. This paper explores the current state of artificial intelligence application in project management in Croatia, exploring both perceived advantages and challenges. An survey conducted in Croatia with 112 respondents revealed that 54.95% utilize some form of AI in project management. Unsurprisingly, AI is predominantly used in the IT industry, followed by the educational sector (25%), and the healthcare sector (4.17%).

Implications of ESRSs Implementations in Sustainability Consulting Practice
Climate change is a pressing global challenge that drives sustainability legislation development and enforcement, making sustainability reporting mandatory in addressing it. EC adopted CSRD in 12.2022 and ESRS in 06.2023. 12 ESRSs cover general principles for sustainability reporting, overarching disclosure requirements and specific disclosure requirements focused on 10 environmental (ESRS E1–E5), social (ESRS S1–S4) and governance (ESRS G1) topics.
This paper has used case study in the context of sustainability consulting practice to explore the impact the adoption of ESRSs has on existing corporate data harvesting and reporting processes and project related sustainability assessment tools. The way forward to achieve compliance with EU regulations is further outlined.

Analysis of Interactions and Effectiveness in Managing ESI Projects in Croatian Higher Education: Insights from Empirical Research
This paper explores the management and implementation of higher education infrastructure projects funded by European Structural and Investment (ESI) Funds in Croatia for the period between 2014 and 2020. Focusing on projects under the Operational Programme Competitiveness and Cohesion, particularly those enhancing student accommodation, it analyzes the allocation of 10.731 billion EUR from various ESI funds, including the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The study describes the institutional framework involving the Managing Authority (MA) and the Central Finance and Contracting Agency (CFCA) as the Implementation Authority (IA). It examines their roles in ensuring transparent, efficient, and adaptable project management. Feedback from project users, mainly universities and polytechnics, was gathered through a structured questionnaire. The survey assessed their perceptions of CFCA's effectiveness in communication, support, and response to project changes. Obtained results suggest a generally positive view of CFCA's role, especially in providing support and impacting project quality. However, the need to improve response timeliness and project adaptability was also highlighted.

Implementation of Service Desk Solutions on the Example of a Company for the Production and Distribution of Electricity Energy Using the Principles of the ITIL Framework
ITIL stands for Information Technology Infrastructure Library. ITIL is the most famous framework for managing IT services. ITIL provides guidelines for the implementation of Service Desk solutions in the business environment of any company. The original scientific and professional contribution of this work is proof that the ITIL framework, through the implementation of a software solution that automates its business processes, can help every company in daily work and can improve its basic and additional business processes. Measurements will be made in a real public company in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, the software solution itself will be independently developed with its own original programming code only for the purposes of this research.

PM in Turbulent Times: How AI and War Affect Our Profession and Education?
Panelists: Darko Jureković, Nenad Marjanović, Marija Bajica, Frane Urem, Neven Pintarić, Gordan Krčelić, Ivan Lorencin
As world leaders publicly acknowledge that we live in the „most dangerous time for generations“, project managers, professionals that “lead all types of projects across various industries” and use “their project management expertise to execute and complete projects that bring brilliant ideas into reality” find themselves facing new challenges and dilemmas. We’ll discuss how disruptions, technological (like AI) or social (like war that started in Europe with invasion of Ukraine) affect our profession, our priorities and responsibilities and what we, as both individuals and professional community should do to respond to those disruptions and challenges they pose in a thoughtful and ethical manner. Please, feel free to join and contribute to our panel discussion either in the conference centre or on-line. |
