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.

• The challenges that are reshaping the project landscape
• The impact of uncertain environments and the growing demand for transformation
