Question: A new PMP® exam is here. The head of our PMO asked me to see if it would have any effect on how we train our people to sit for the exam. Also, does it foretell any changes we may need to make in the way we do business? I’m concerned that there may be new information or alterations in the way existing employees, whether PMPs or not, should be conducting the day-to-day business of our organization if we want to stay competitive?

He emphasizes leaders’ role in modeling desired behaviors while noting that everyone must build the curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration needed for continuous change. Roos also discusses AI as a tool to amplify human judgment and concludes that agility requires stronger collaboration across interconnected ecosystems.
Many organizations are experimenting with AI, but only a small number successfully move beyond pilots into measurable enterprise impact. AI initiatives often stall because project teams focus on the technology while underestimating governance, data readiness, stakeholder alignment, risk management, change adoption, and value realization.
