The PMI Talent & Technology Symposium is back for the second year! This virtual event explores the impact of rapidly changing technologies on the project management profession across industries.
The modern technological landscape places growing demands on project managers to stay up-to-date on advancements, develop new skills, and adopt innovative approaches to their work. In the search for top talent for project teams, hiring managers have identified a shortage of certain skill sets amidst evolving needs.
As a project manager, what can you do to remain relevant and competitive? How can you be a champion of change for your projects and reinforce an organizational culture that embraces technology and innovation? How can you strategically leverage technology to maximize your potential? Attend the PMI Talent and Technology Symposium to learn about these topics and more, as we examine the Modern Project Manager!
Addressing advanced technology in language that is easy to understand, this event seeks to equip project managers with the knowledge and mindset to advance their careers in an increasingly high tech world. Participants will gain an understanding of how to better position themselves for growth and to identify talent for their project teams.
In this keynote presentation, Doug Powell will discuss the radically collaborative practice of humancentered design thinking and how it is transforming the 107 year-old global tech company—and the many businesses IBM works with across industries. Every project in the organization is, effectively, a change project. This means that every project manager must also be a change manager. In the modern workplace, much emphasis is placed on technical skills and knowledge. However, with the onset of advanced technologies, soft skills are becoming more and more critical to maintaining clear communication and positive human interaction on project teams and amongst stakeholders. Many projects that fail cite the same reason - "a breakdown in communication." Even projects that succeed experience this issue on some level; while the project itself succeeded, portions of it could and should have gone better. A voice user interface (VUI) can bridge this gap. Internet of things (IoT) offers numerous strategic opportunities for companies - whether they are considering digitalization of customer value-added chain, introducing new services, or using big data for product improvement. This session will provide attendees with an understanding of the complexity of IoT initiatives, as the presenter shares her experiences leading strategic programs to establish a competitive advantage using IoT capabilities. For over a decade, leaders worldwide have been struggling to raise employee engagement which has been way too low. Most employees silently disengaged as they experienced a challenging era where the focus was put on change and cost reduction. This era is now over!
