Project Management and Developing Our Future Generations The growth of the project management industry over the past ten years has led to over 40% of developed countries' GDP being spent on new changes and deliveries. The pool of successful project managers has become smaller, and so a concept has gathered momentum: Introducing PM to students at an earlier age to allow them to better understand the importance of the behaviour and ethics needed for their own future careers. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
The Need to Focus on Business Benefits and Value For decades, project managers were trained to focus on the creation of the deliverables defined in the project's requirement, often with little regard for the expected business benefits and business value. This is now changing as companies have a better understanding of business benefits and value and are updating their methodologies and frameworks. Some frameworks, such as Agile and SCRUM, appear to do a better job identifying than traditional project management practices tracking and reporting business benefits and value.

Dynamic Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder engagement is one of the most important success criteria of any project or change initiative, yet it is often subsidiary to other processes or Participantd downward to managers and staff. Worse yet, it can be set up as a step-by-step, mechanical or uni-directional push communication process. Engaging stakeholders is a planned and highly adaptive organic process that seeks to touch each individual impacted by the change. Successful stakeholder engagement guides individuals to find and communicate their own motivation, embrace the change, and carry it forward. It is that dynamic that causes the change to happen and progress. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Project Management: The Intentional Profession 'To be is to do.' Project managers focus on the tools, techniques and effort it takes to 'do' well and deliver the change that mission demands. But we can also choose to 'do good,' and that is what providing our skills as pro bono services to our communities is all about. Like PMs, service-oriented Non-Profit Organizations struggle to deliver community services in a resource-constrained environment. PMs have mastered the skills needed to make things happen in these environments. With the 2015 Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS), two executives organized roughly 400 PMs to assist NPOs in defining and scoping nearly 100 projects - in one day! That is intent. That is engagement. That is meaningful project management. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

AI in Project Management: The Next Generation of Project Decision Making Project managers need to make critical project decisions on a daily basis. They are confronted with increasing complexities, high ambiguity and the need to process an exponentially growing amount of data and information in order to make informed and good decisions. This leads to an increasing risk of project failure - meanwhile, the project management industry is already challenged with ongoing low project success rates, caused by often massive failures of projects. Project Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are expected to fill the gap by providing analytical and unbiased capabilities that go beyond human possibilities, towards a data-driven and fact-based decision-making approach. While there is little doubt that AI as a trending technology will disrupt the project management practice and augment today's project management capabilities, AI cannot be seen as just another new tool to make project management more effective. Rather, AI will act as a complement to human intelligence, requiring a collaborative approach and, accordingly, a significant change in project culture and peoples' mindset. Today's project decisions are usually driven by human intuition, experience, leadership, and often do not follow any rational logic. Project decision-makers will be required to abandon such an approach and shift to a data-driven, decision-making approach. This session will provide an overview of the expected changes from AI-driven project management, the resulting impact on project decision making and changes in project culture, and what actions can be taken by project professionals to match their beliefs and behaviours with the new project culture. Learning goals: Gain insights into how AI for project management will significantly change decision-making in projects Gain an understanding of how to transition to a new AI-powered project culture
