Worley, a $7 billion engineering and construction company, is strategically implementing artificial intelligence to significantly enhance workforce productivity. CEO Chris Ashton anticipates that AI will enable a single engineer to achieve the output of multiple employees. This initiative aims to effectively double the company's workforce capacity without proportionally increasing headcount.
Worley is integrating AI and machine learning across its operations to modernise processes and meet sustainability goals. The company has partnered with technology experts to develop AI-powered tools that improve workforce efficiency, enhance supplier collaboration, and optimise project benchmarks. These solutions are designed for rapid deployment and scalability, supporting Worley's global operations and diverse projects in the energy, resources, and chemicals industries.
By leveraging AI, Worley expects to do the work of 100,000 people with a workforce of 50,000, achieving substantial improvements in project delivery and productivity. This approach allows Worley to address urgent business challenges and drive sustainable innovation for its clients worldwide.
