The PMI Talent & Technology Symposium 2018 is the fusion of two prior events, the Internet Systems & Technologies Symposium, and the Talent Management Conference. The new event focuses on the impact of rapidly changing technologies on the project management discipline and careers. Participants will better understand how emerging technologies affect their career and skills progression, as well as the evolving needs of hiring managers as they seek out top project management talent.
How to Adapt Your Career to Anticipate and Stay Viable in an Environment of Rapid Technological Change.
Artificial intelligence and automation are quickly removing the most mundane tasks from a project manager’s plate, allowing for greater focus on strategy and the dynamics of interpersonal management of project team members. Blockchain (cryptocurrency) is changing how we securely authenticate decentralized communications and projects. For the individual practitioner these technologies are near-future evolutions that threaten to shake up the entire business and project landscape. These looming technologies are already changing the requirements hiring managers are looking for as they evaluate current and incoming talent.
This year’s combined event focuses on explaining the impact of these technologies in a language all members can understand, and provide advice on how to prepare ones career and skills for the changed environment.
Our world has always been changing, but most of these changes have taken place progressively, sometimes over several generations. Not anymore. Changes are occurring within one generation; often several at a time. We need to change how we evolve with these challenges, how we envision our own personal future. As our accessibility to data increases, interactions with robotics and developments in advanced technological fields have ushered in a new era that is disrupting business, creating innovative industries and altering labor markets. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has initiated a digital transformation across industries requiring organizations to utilize technology and data for strategy development through competitive project delivery. Cybersecurity as a discipline should not be a foreign concept to project managers regardless of industry, size of the project in terms of complexity or costs, or size of the organization. This session shows how cybersecurity processes align with the PMI Talent Triangle’s project management skills and arms project managers with an approach for ensuring less exposure to cybersecurity threats. The disruptive forces of Artificial Intelligence (aka AI) are bearing down on project managers. Today, machines are able to analyze larger data sets and adapt faster than humans could ever imagine. A short time ago, drones flew onto the world stage and have not slowed down since. Hardware and software advances expand drones’ capabilities (including being controlled using hand gestures) and increase their use and business value. Drones have and are creating a number of issues and opportunities. What should you understand regarding the technical aspects of blockchain from a project manager’s perspective? This session will help you better understand the key questions and go beyond the basics.
