How Artificial Intelligence will improve Human-Led Capabilities
With data analytics and intelligent technology on the rise to improve organizational decision-making, project management as a discipline cannot be left behind when adopting data-driven practices. But getting there is less about technology and foremost about building a cultural foundation, new behaviors by project professionals, and a new mindset, culture, and environment that enable data and analytics to unleash their capabilities to shift project performance to new heights.
In this keynote, Marcus Glowasz will highlight the key (non-technical) success factors for a journey to data-driven project delivery practices, incl. which skills project managers need to acquire to take full advantage of data and AI capabilities in their projects.
Adapting to the Age of Change and Transparency
Today’s world is rapidly changing with often fast-changing messages, leading to high complexity and increasing change frequency. As a result, project and change management practices are forced to move along with today’s evolving technology and modern practices and need to embrace new ways that enhance our natural capabilities to deliver change and become fit for the future.
But while technology can enhance our capabilities, it requires more than ever people to enable such a future. It requires a new mindset about how we collaborate, how we deal with failure, how we learn, and how we adapt to disruption and change. It calls for new leadership skills in all of us to foster a culture of transparency, authenticity, and accountability, to enable effective growth and evolution.
