Reinventing Project Management Now! Projects are taking up a more and more prominent role within organizations and the economy as a whole. Simultaneously, the skill set demanded of project management professionals is changing, too. Recently, Gartner claimed that 80% of today's project management tasks will be eliminated by 2030 as Artificial Intelligence takes over. This statistic alone is an indicator that the project management profession will undergo profound changes in the next decade, if not earlier, and we should see this as a call for action to redefine the future of our profession. This session, founded upon some of the latest research conducted in collaboration with HBR, will explore the challenges that the project management profession is facing both from a methodological point of view, as well as the disruptions that are already impacting us, such as AI, robots, and blockchain. If we act now, project management will become one of the most sought-after competencies by organizations in the new world. Understand the disruption that the project management profession is about to face Learn new and simpler project management concepts that will help us become the profession of the future Understand the skills and competencies needed to be successful in the project economy This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

The Need for Metrics - Measuring the Ongoing Value of a Project Establishing metrics that measure the project´s value, both during execution and at the end of the project, is critical. Also, the true value of the project may not be known until well after the project has been completed. Executives, clients and stakeholders today are re-thinking the definition of project success. While time and cost considerations are still important, emphasis must also be placed upon the value that the project will deliver.

Project Manager's Journey: From 'Doing' to 'Leading' Many of us are 'accidental' project managers. Project management may not be the profession we dreamed of as we were growing up. Most likely we stumbled into it. You may have been asked to manage projects in your organization, because you have shown superior technical skill. Ironically the skill that got you where you are today as a project manager is not what will take you where you need to go in this position. Now you are not 'doing' project work per se any more but 'leading' it. This presentation walks you through the leadership journey you go through as a project manager. It focuses on the skills you must master for this journey. It illuminates the transformation you must make from a 'doer' to a 'leader.'
