How does the project profession thrive in a changing world?

That’s the question at the heart of Projecting the Future, an exciting new initiative being launched this summer by APM.

Join Tim Banfield, chair of APM’s Projecting the Future Group, with David Thomson, APM Head of External Affairs, to find out about the initiative and to contribute your views on the future of the project profession as he launchs  a new APM discussion paper.

A Big Conversation

Running throughout the coming months, Projecting the Future will be a “big conversation” about the project profession’s place in a fast-changing and complex world. We stand on the verge of the fourth industrial revolution, driven by robotics and AI; climate change demands the de-carbonisation of the economy; and ever-rising human longevity is making a reality of the 100-year human life.

Change is already happening all around us. The future could look daunting, but for the project profession, it shouldn’t – because projects are the way that successful change happens. Project professionals will though be increasingly be tasked with leading complex projects that deliver transformative change.

Tim argues that the project profession is well placed to shape the future. To thrive in a changing world, the profession needs to keep evolving – and be ambitious about its future.

Join The Webinar &  Hear:

• The challenges that are reshaping the project landscape
• The impact of uncertain environments and the growing demand for transformation
• What “PM 4.0” might look like
• Six key questions for the future of the profession
• What Projecting the Future means for you and your career and the project profession

Graf von Moltke was a Prussian Field Marshal who developed a rather genius, and simple, method to stack up his generals based on intelligence and initiative (or lack thereof.) The smart & lazy rose to the top because they made the right thing happen, at the right time and found the easiest way to do so.

1. What if you and your team could have a 43% more positive impact on your company by initiating change?
2. What if you improved your ability to influence change, from ideation through execution?
3. What if you became better at motivating others to embrace new thinking?

Unlocking personal agility is possible…and leads to organizational agility.

We’re all born with the gift of creativity, but throughout our lives are conditioned to eliminate agile thinking. We’re creatures of habit, with most of our thoughts being the same day after day. Our brains aren’t naturally wired to create and embrace change.

The majority of us simply conform, allowing our minds to become submissive to biases we don’t even realize we have. Fortunately, we can retrain our brains to be more agile. Research says 80% of agility is learned and acquired, so we all have the ability to unlock our potential.

Learn about:

• Cognitive biases that hold us back from naturally being more agile
• Strategies designed to increase the successful implementation of new ideas
• Encouraging innovation and collaboration, and energizing others to think differently
• How a healthcare organization is training its members to design and apply new, disruptive ideas

Join Dr. Casey Mulqueen (LinkedIn profile) Senior Director of Learning & Development, The TRACOM Group; & Keri Blymire as they help you  achieve better “Organizational Agility.”
