S2E38: Machine Learning on Project Plans with Dev Amratia & Toby Buchanan

Toby Buchanan

General Manager at nPlan

Toby is the General Manager of nPlan, a technology company, who use machine learning and big data to forecast the time outcomes of projects. nPlan is bringing forth a new paradigm in managing risk and uncertainty on major projects. Toby has felt the pain of delivering projects first hand, having worked for 7 years on major urban regeneration schemes as a Project Manager at Lendlease, in Australia and the UK. Toby holds an MBA from London Business School, and Bachelor of Engineer from University of Sydney. As practices in the industry change under the pressure of innovation after decades of low productivity growth, and as venture capital funding flows rapidly to unlock new opportunities to solve these challenges, Toby is excited by the opportunity he has at nPlan to make an impact at an organisational and industry level.
