#ChampionOfChange, project managers, my fellow projectmanagement.com friends and online followers, I am back again signing in from Mumbai – Bollywood of India. In less than 4 weeks, I would be in the Hollywood – Los Angeles for the PMI Global Congress 2018.

Needless to say, the preparation is in full swing for this great conglomerate of #ChampionOfChange. As I build my schedule I retrospect on my learnings from #PMIEMEA18.

#PMIEMEA18 I focussed on the “projects of the future” and sessions which provided insights on artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital transformation.  What I learned from these sessions that we need to become more “human” in this era of digital disruption.

As a refresher Please check out the #PMIEMEA18 conference summary here. Keeping along the same theme this time, I will focus on area of robotics, artificial intelligence, along with the human aspects of problem solving, virtual teams, knowledge management, change management and diversity.  Here is my schedule:

Oct 6, 2018 : Day 1

#302 Opening General Session and Keynote Speaker: Jon Dorenbos - "Life Is Magic"

#313 Knowledge Management: An Emerging Competitive Advantage—Trends, Urgency, and Techniques

#328 Rogue One : A powerpoint story

#349 There's a Robot in My Meeting!

I plan to wind up my day by attending the Gala dinner, the Oscars of project management, an event which recognizes the best of the best #ChampionOfChange in the field of project management.

Oct 7, 2018 : Day 2

401 General Session and Keynote Speaker: Cam Marston - "Five Generations in the Workplace"

#407 The Future Lies in Diversity and Inclusion: Are You an Inclusive Leader?

#425: The Change lab :Part 1

#439 The Change Lab: Part 2 of 2

#444 Artificial Intelligence and Project Management: Beyond Human Imagination!

Oct 8, 2018 : Day 3

#506 Breakthrough Brainstorming: Fun, Fast Strategies to Unleash Your Brilliance!

Mid-morning, I would be leading a session

#517a Who Wants to Be a More Successful Project Manager? Here's Your New Lifeline: Ask the Crowd!

I will speak on crowdsourcing and how it can improve agility and innovation in this era of disruption. In this regard I would like to know your opinion on crowdsourcing.  Please take the polls to help me to get the voice of the “crowd”.

https://www.projectmanagement.com/polls/462408/Crowdsourcing-project-tasks---internal-and-external-can-add-equal-value-to-projects

https://www.projectmanagement.com/polls/462405/Do-you-think-crowdsourcing-of-project-tasks-like-design--coding--testing-improves-agility-and-innovation------

 #526-EXH Hands-On Lab: From the Golden Rule to the Platinum Rule the Character-Strengths Way

#532 Closing General Session and Keynote Speaker: Abigail Posner - "Cracking Creativity: Re-Engaging Our Innate Creativity for Greater Productivity and Growth"

Apart from the above, I would be in the exhibit hall at the “Ask an Expert” booth as an expert on Agile, Project management, digital transformation. If you are at the Congress in person, do not forget to sign up for the exclusive 1:1 sessions with me to gain insights from my experience of managing digital transformation programs. Keep checking this space for the schedule.

If you not able to make it to the Congress, fret not, I would keep sharing my experiences at the Congress on twitter , linkedIn or Facebook.  Keep following me as I join thousands of other #ChampionOfChange for three days of learning and fun !
