讲座题目： Technological impact on healthy and productive work

摘要： In this presentation, Eden will present a series of her studies examining how digitalisation (such as GenAI) is transforming work, skills, and well-being across industries. It highlights the dual impact of emerging technologies on psychosocial work factors, emphasising the need for human-centric interventions to enhance safety, health, and productivity. In construction, a skill framework is developed to address future workforce demands driven by digital transformation. Within project management, the research program identifies key mechanisms enabling professionals to leverage GenAI effectively for innovation. Using the Technology–Organisation–Environment (TOE) framework, Eden will also discuss how organisational change capacity moderates the effects of complexity and staff skills on GenAI adoption across global industries. Together, her research program offers timely insights for academics, management and policymakers aiming to build adaptive and resilient workplaces in a digital future.

讲座题目： Construction Project Management: Trends and Frontier Topics

摘要： This presentation, “Construction Project Management: Trends and Frontier Topics”, explores how construction project management is being reshaped by five interrelated forces: industrialisation, resilience, decarbonisation, digitalisation and integration. Drawing on large collaborative initiatives, Dr Linna Geng will discuss how people, process and product are being transformed across the project lifecycle. The session will unpack how technologies like BIM, digital twins, IoT, AI and automation intersect with low-carbon materials, modular construction and resilient design strategies to deliver future-ready, net-zero built environments. The talk will also touch on practical career reflections and advice for students interested in the rapidly evolving field of construction project management.
